WCCS and AUM Sign Articulation Agreement, Create Partnership

From the West Alabama Newsroom–

The road to a four year college degree just got a little smoother for some community college students in Selma.

Wallace Community College Selma and Auburn University Montgomery signed a collaborative transfer agreement Wednesday morning.

School officials say the articulation agreement creates a partnership between the two institutions that provides help and guidance for Wallace students who transfer to AUM.

“The great thing is it provides them more, greater access and opportunity for continuing their education,” said WCCS President Dr. James Mitchell.

“Short term we’re creating successful students but in the long term we’re creating successful citizens who are going to contribute to our workforce and our economy,” said AUM Chancellor Dr. John Veres.

School officials say the transfer agreement also makes Wallace students who transfer, eligible for scholarships.
