 Footnotes on Usage of this Block
 1. Coursework in this block is guaranteed to count as transfer credit towards graduation in all sciences and mathematics majors at all public, senior institutions. However, this block may or may not completely satisfy all general education requirements at a particular senior institution.
 2. Some institutions will take pre-calculus mathematics for credit toward sciences/mathematics majors.
 3. Some majors at senior institutions allow for fewer than 7 elective credits; transfer of this entire block may preclude students transferring into these majors from taking some elective credits at the senior institutions.
 4. Completion of this 53-credit-hour module will bring a student close to attaining an AA/AS degree. By working closely with advisors at both the technical college and at the senior institution, a student may be able to take enough transferable coursework to complete the AA/AS degree.
 5. Majors in Computer Information Systems and in Applied Mathematics at the College of Charleston should contact these departments directly regarding appropriate transfer coursework in the Natural Sciences and in the Behavioral and Social Sciences.
 *6. Choose these courses from the 72 courses listed on the Statewide Articulation Agreement.
 **7. Some senior institutions offer only 3 credit hour foreign language courses. These institutions may only grant 3 credits per course for technical college foreign language coursework.

 Footnotes on Usage of Block
1. These courses are guaranteed to transfer into either the general education component or the objective component of each baccalaureate early childhood, elementary, or special education program at each public senior institution in South Carolina. Moreover, all courses are guaranteed to count toward graduation in these majors without increasing the number of credit hours to degree.
*2. Students majoring in secondary education should consult the Arts and Humanities or Science and Mathematics Block, depending on their majors. Students who major in a field outside education but who desire teacher certification should consult the transfer block related to their majors (i.e., Arts and Humanities or Sciences and Mathematics) to ensure transferability of courses from the technical colleges.
 3. Winthrop requires MAT 122, Finite College Mathematics.


A REPORT ON NURSING TRANSFER AND ARTICULATION IN SOUTH CAROLINA
By the Statewide Task Force on Nursing Transfer and Articulation Presented to S.C. Commission on Higher Education Transfer Articulation Committee Recommendations
1. ADN programs will adopt by 2000 a maximum of a 68-semester-credit-hour ADN degree.
2. BSN programs will adopt by 2000 a maximum of a 128-semester-credit-hour BSN degree.
3. The ADN program will explore options to increase the number of transferable nursing courses between public NLN accredited ADN programs in South Carolina.
4. The ADN to ADN, BSN to BSN, and ADN to BSN Transfer Models will be implemented by Fall, 1997 at the latest.
5. The Council of Deans and Directors of Nursing Education of the State of South Carolina should assume the ongoing responsibility to review and update the BSN to BSN, the ADN to ADN and the ADN to BSN Nursing Guides.
6. The South Carolina Commission on Higher Education will retain on file for public access a record of transferable nursing courses.
7. The Council of Deans and Directors of Nursing Education of the State of South Carolina should review and monitor the outcomes of the Transfer Model and report to the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education at five-year intervals.
8. Degree-granting institutions are strongly encouraged to evaluate general education requirements for transfer students to ensure maximum flexibility in terms of
a) total general credit required, and
b) transfer credit that will meet general requirements by the degree granting institution.
November 27, 1995 Transfer Articulation Task Force
Associate Degree in Nursing to Associate Degree in Nursing Transfer Model
The purpose of the guidelines is to facilitate the progression of students in good standing who need to transfer between public Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) programs in South Carolina. Students in ADN programs who seek to transfer must meet the admission requirements of the institution to which they are applying. Students in this category will be awarded transfer credit for 16 to 18 semester hours of nursing courses credit and have the credit count toward the ADN degree. Residency requirements of the degree-granting institution must be met to earn a degree from that institution.
 
Due to accreditation standards and space limitations, the number of openings available to transfer students is small. Students must contact the nursing program to which they seek transfer as early as possible to determine space availability, eligibility, and program requirements. Course scheduling and full-time or part-time status will influence the time required to complete the ADN program.
 
General education courses will transfer based on the State Board for Technical and Comprehensive Education’s Catalog of Approved Courses (CAC). Flexibility in the maximum number of credits allowed for transfer and the acceptance of course work to meet other general education requirements are expected by the receiving institution. 
Guidelines
Eligibility: Matriculated students who transfer from an NLN-accredited ADN program to another NLN-accredited ADN program in South Carolina public institutions.
 
Transfer Mechanism: Credit for successfully completed nursing courses in a South Carolina public NLN-accredited ADN program will transfer to another NLN accredited ADN program in South Carolina and will apply toward an associate degree in nursing. Students not meeting this criterion or any other criteria may be offered other transfer/validation options at the discretion of the receiving institution. Nursing courses that are transferable include but are not limited:
 
Fundamentals of Nursing
Maternity Nursing (Childbearing Family)
Mental Health (Psychiatric Nursing) Pediatric Nursing (Care of Children)
 
General education courses that are identified in the CAC are transferable. All transfer credit must meet transfer requirements of the degree-granting institution.
 
Policies: In instances of course credit hour variance, transfer credit may be used to meet requirements in that course, but adjustments in total credit required may be made as appropriate by the degree-granting institution. Each student must achieve by enrollment or transfer the minimum number of credit hours required by the degree-granting institution. Students must meet residency requirements of the degree-granting institution in order to earn a degree from that institution.
 
Evaluation: Review and monitoring of the outcomes of this Transfer Model will be delegated to the Council of Deans and Directors of Nursing Education of the State of South Carolina and reported to the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education at five-year intervals.
 
December 7, 1995 Transfer Articulation Task Force 
Bachelor of Science in Nursing to Bachelor of Science in Nursing Transfer Model
 
The purpose of the guidelines is to facilitate the progression of students in good standing who need to transfer between public Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) programs in South Carolina. Students in BSN programs who seek to transfer must meet the admission requirements of the institution to which they are applying. Students in this category will be awarded transfer credit for all successfully completed BSN nursing courses and have the credit count toward the BSN degree. The Nursing Course Transfer Guide (see attachment A) will determine transferability. Residency requirements of the degree-granting institution must be met to earn a degree from that institution.
 
Due to accreditation standards and space limitations, the number of openings available to transfer students is small. Students must contact the nursing program to which they seek transfer as early as possible to determine space availability, eligibility, and program requirements. Course scheduling and full-time or part-time status will influence the time required to complete the BSN program.
 
General education courses will transfer based on the General Education Transfer Guide (see attachment B). Flexibility in the maximum number of credits allowed for transfer and the acceptance of course work to meet other general education requirements are expected by the receiving institution.

Guidelines
Eligibility: Matriculated students who transfer from National League for Nursing (NLN) accredited BSN program to another NLN-accredited BSN program in South Carolina public institutions.
 Transfer Mechanism: Credit for approved nursing courses in an NLN accredited public BSN program will transfer to another NLN-accredited program and will apply toward a BSN degree. The Nursing Course Transfer Guide provides the framework for making decisions regarding transfer of nursing credit between BSN programs. Students who have earned credit for courses included in the guide will have direct transfer of credits for the total number of nursing courses completed. Transfer credit must meet transfer requirements of the institution.
Policies: In instances of course credit- hour variance, transfer credit may be used to meet requirement(s) in that course, and adjustments in total credit required may be made as appropriate by the degree-granting institution. Each student must achieve by enrollment or transfer the minimum number of credit hours required by the degree-granting institution. Students must meet residency requirements of the degree-granting institution in order to earn a degree for that institution.
Evaluation: Review and monitoring of the outcomes of this Transfer Model will be delegated to the Council of Deans and Directors of Nursing Education of the State of South Carolina and reported to the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education at five year intervals.

  Transfer Articulation Task Force December 7, 1995
Associate Degree in Nursing to
Bachelor of Science in Nursing Transfer Model
The purpose of the guidelines is to facilitate the progression of Registered Nurses (RNs) who complete a South Carolina public NLN-accredited, associate degree in Nursing (ADN) program to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree. RNs who seek to enroll in a BSN program must meet the admission requirements of the institution to which they seek admission. RN’s will be able to transfer successfully completed nursing courses at the Associate Degree granting institutions and have them apply toward a BSN degree. RNs must complete the minimum number of upper-division nursing courses (currently 30 to 36 semester hours or two semesters of full-time study) as outlined on the ADN to BSN Transfer Guide (see attachment A) and meet residency requirements of the degree-granting institution.
Students who graduate from an NLN-accredited program and complete the requirements for licensure as a RN will have demonstrated minimal, safe, and effective practice as a professional nurse. Documented studies of mobility examinations, teacher-made tests, and clinical performance examinations have not demonstrated that these mechanisms are valuable tools for differentiating lower- and upper-division nursing credit. The required upper division baccalaureate level nursing credit will ensure the nursing content and socialization necessary for the professional nurse role.

 In addition, NLN accreditation provides evidence that the nursing program has met the standards proposed by the profession that indicate quality in educational programs.
Flexibility in the maximum number of credits allowed for transfer and the acceptance of course work to meet general education requirements are expected by the receiving institution.

Guidelines:
Eligibility: Registered nurses who graduated with an ADN from and NLN accredited public institution in South Carolina and who hold an active RN license in the state. This is based on the expectation that all public ADN program will be NLN accredited within five years.
Transfer Mechanism: A minimum of 60 credits of college transfer general education and nursing course work taken at any South Carolina public NLN accredited ADN-granting institution will transfer and apply toward a BSN at any public institution in South Carolina offering the BSN. Students offered admission, who meet the direct transfer option criteria, will be exempt from taking educational mobility exams or other validation mechanisms to receive academic credit for nursing credit.
 Timeframe: This option is available to students who have graduated from an ADN program within the last ten years. Other students, not meeting this or any of the other criteria may be offered other transfer/validation options at the discretion of the receiving institution.
Policies: Students transferring into baccalaureate programs are required to complete at least the minimum number of upper-division courses from that institution to meet the residency requirement for awarding a degree from the institution.
Evaluation: Review and monitoring of the outcomes of this Transfer Model will be delegated to the Council of Deans and Directors of Nursing Education of the State of South Carolina and reported to the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education at five-year intervals.
