Articulation agreements are effective tools in providing a seamless transition for students pursuing a degree at institutions of higher learning. It is essential for those involved in developing these functions to identify the developmental needs of the ever-changing population of transfer students. This article reviews the need for responsive partnerships between institutions to assist students in meeting their developmental andeducational goals. The article addresses the importance of humanizing the transfer process with the inclusion of student service functions in articulation agreements. A model for practice is described and suggestions for effective student-centered articulation aggreements will be offered.
