This statewide articulation agreement between the Mississippi Community College Board (MCCB) and the Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL) ensures smooth transfer of credits between community colleges and public universities in Mississippi. It outlines the courses accepted for transfer, is reviewed annually, and involves student contracts with universities. The agreement, in effect since the 1980s, helps prevent advisement issues, allows transfer without credit loss, and benefits a large percentage of students.
