Paralegal/Legal Studies
Articulation
Agreement
between
ATLANTA
TECH
N
ICAL
COLLEGE
and
Atlanta Technical College
and
Clayton State University are entering into
this Articulation Agreement
on
May
25,
2017,
in
order to articulate the
course offerings
in
their Paralegal Studies
and
Legal Studies programs,
respectively. So that:
• Atlanta Technical College students who complete certain
requirements
as
specified
in
this Articulation Agreement may gain
admittance to Clayton State University, and
• Atlanta Technical College students who are admitted to Clayton State
University pursuant
to
this Agreement may
be
assured that the
courses specified
in
this Agreement will transfer
to
Clayton State
University, and
• Atlanta Technical College students who are admitted to Clayton State
University will
be
aware of what courses they must take
in
order to
earn a Bachelor of Science
in
Legal Studies.
In
establishing this Articulation Agreement between Atlanta Technical
_ College and Clayton State University, the two parties agree as follows:
Agreement
in
Principle:
Both parties agree to extend their best efforts to ensure that the transition
for A.A.S. graduates of the Paralegal Studies program at SACSCOC
accredited TCSG technical college, Atlanta Technical College, to the ABA-
approved
B.S.
in
Legal Studies program at Clayton State University will
be
as smooth
as
possible for the students choosing to
do
so.
This
Paralegal/Legal Studies program articulation is designed to minimize loss
of credit and course duplication. Both parties enter into this Articulation
Agreement
as
cooperating, equal partners with the responsibility to
maintain the integrity of their separate programs, to remain true to their
institutional missions, and to maintain the spirit of this Articulation
Agreement.

Agreement on Communication:
Atlanta Technical College and Clayton State University agree to cooperate
in
communicating with each other
and
with their publics concerning the
articulation relationship between the two institutions. Communications may
include common publications
and
announcements concerning their
affiliation and the specific joint programs. Announcements of this
articulation, of changes
in
the relationship, and of new programs will have a
coordinated release to the public from both institutions. The institutions will
encourage the dissemination of information about programs
in
this
agreement with interested and qualified students, with both institutions
providing advising and counseling to prospective students.
Agreement on Accreditation:
This Articulation Agreement is made contingent
on
both parties maintaining
all
applicable program and institution accreditations, including both
SACSCOC accreditation and ABA approval or AAfPE institutional
membership.
In
the event of a loss of accreditation
by
either party, the
other party may terminate this Articulation Agreement upon written notice.
Agreement on Program Specifics:
The Paralegal/Legal Studies program detail shall
be
attached to this
document and made a part hereof. Program detail will indicate each of the
following:
• The specific courses to
be
taken at Atlanta Technical College needed
to complete the Associate of Applied Science
in
Paralegal Studies;
• The Atlanta Technical College/Clayton State University equivalence
between courses that transfer pursuant
to
this agreement;
• The specific courses to
be
taken at Clayton State University to
complete the ABA-approved Bachelor of Science
in
Legal Studies;
and
• Other student performance criteria (e.g., course grades, overall
GPA).
Page
13
It
is
agreed
by
both parties that any Atlanta Technical College student who
has successfully completed
all
requirements indicated
in
the program detail
will, upon application,
be
accepted at Clayton State University and may
transfer the credits referenced
in
that program detail toward the relevant
program degree at Clayton State University.
Agreement on Maintenance and Review:
At
least one administrative or faculty member will
be
appointed from each
participating institution to act
as
primary point of contact and agent for this
Articulation Agreement, to speak for the institution
and
to communicate
details and modifications
to
respective faculty, advisors and others with
interest at the individual institutions.
In
the event that either institution elects or is required to amend the
Program Detail, each party agrees to make every effort to accommodate
the needs of the other party such that the articulation may
be
preserved.
In
the event that either institution makes changes to courses or curriculum,
the other party will
be
informed
in
writing
and
given the opportunity to
review the changes and amend the agreement
in
writing as needed
in
order to make certain that equivalent learning outcomes are being
met.
Regular review of program sub-agreements, at intervals to
be
set
by
the
two institutions, and
in
no
case less frequently than every three years, will
be
required. Termination of the agreement may
be
invoked
by
either party
with two years' written notice. Students who begin a program prior
to
termination will
be
given three additional years to complete the Atlanta
Technical College portion and to
be
admitted to Clayton State University.
Both institutions agree to provide whatever data is needed
by
the other
institution to support accreditation requirements.
The authorized representatives of each party signify their acceptance and
approval of the terms of this Articulation Agreement
by
signing where
indicated.
