Degrees/Certificates for PVCC

Arizona General Education Curriculum — AGEC
The AGECs are not degrees but are blocks of classes which include 35 credits of general studies. When completed successfully and posted on students’ transcripts, the AGEC guarantees admission to any of the Arizona universities.

The courses used in the AGECs align with the Associate Degrees in Arts, Business and Science and apply toward the 60-64 credits needed to complete those degrees.

Course Equivalency Info

Managing and maintaining Maricopa course equivalency information within the Course Equivalency Guide (CEG) is one of the core functions of the Center for Curriculu m and Transfer Articulation.

The CEG indicates how Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University, and the University of Arizona accept transfer course work (numbered 100 or above) from the Arizona public institutions (community colleges). Applicability of the transfer credit to completion of major requirements at the universities is not indicated in the CEG.

Student Survival Tips

Check our Frequently Asked Questions list
Register for classes early and keep a copy of the registration.
Attend every class. You have paid for each one of them. Didn't you plan to attend college so it can help you achieve some other goals? Successfully completing classes will help do just that even if you don't see the relevance at first.
Save all your receipts (for books, tuition, fees, etc.)
Get involved in some campus activity, club, organization.
See an advisor, counselor, or instructor at least once each semester to discuss your plans, goals, concerns, etc. At some point in their lives, they have done what you are doing now.
If you seem to be having any academic problems in the first few weeks, take action immediately.
- talk to your instructor
- sign up for free tutoring--see Learning Support Center
- talk to an advisor or counselor
- don't just stop coming to classes
Save some time for relaxing with friends.
