12
These four letters stand for the agreement that provides important transfer protections for eligible North Carolina community college students.

AAS (Associate in Applied Science)
True or False: Admission to a university automatically guarantees admission to the student's desired academic program.
False
Math, science, and foreign language are examples of subjects where students need to pay particular attention to this when building a semester-by-semester academic plan
Prerequisites
ACP stands for this.
Academic Course Plan
This policy assures qualifying AA/AS graduates admission to one of the 16 UNC System universities, but not necessarily to their first-choice university or specific major.

Course catalog
Transfer students use a Transfer Guide, while AAS students use this planning resource.
Program Planning Guide
To qualify for TAAP, an AA/AS graduate must have at least this overall GPA.
2.0
An engineering student shouldn't select these courses randomly because the choices should be based on the student's engineering discipline and intended transfer university.
Engineering electives. (Remember, the AE has a fairly specific set of engineering electives)
True or False: If two students are both earning an AS degree but plan to attend different universities or enter different majors, their ideal Wake Tech course plans must be identical.
False
Name four things a strong semester-by-semester transfer ACP should consider besides simply completing the required number of credits.
