ATAC Handbook Part II: ATAC Responsibilities at the Institutional Level The ATAC member at each institution has a number of functions. The functions for ATAC members at both source and target institutions are given below. In the following sections, each of the major functions is described in detail, for reference by both source and target institution ATAC members. They include:
1. Processing Course Equivalencies Outlined in this section are the requirements for ATAC members to process course equivalencies and/or general education designations. The source institution is defined as the institution from which courses will be transferred. The target institution is defined as the institution to which courses will be transferred. A. Source Institution ATAC Member – Processing Course Equivalencies Processing New Courses Definitions Processing New Source Institution Courses Processing New Target Institution Courses In response, the source institution ATAC member may send an Arizona Course Equivalency Tracking System (ACETS) evaluation form for a current course or a new course, accompanied by a course outline/competencies/syllabus, to the target institution ATAC member. Processing Course Modifications Definitions (Types of Course Modifications)

Implementing Statewide Processes, Rules and Timelines for Processing Course Equivalencies
* Assumes an August 15 start date for Fall classes. ** Assumes an April 1 start for Summer or Fall preregistration. *** Assumes a January 15 start date for Spring classes. **** Assumes a November 1 start date for Spring preregistration. 3. Rule for Assigning Effective Year/Terms to Course Equivalencies and/or General Education Designations and/or ATF CEG Recommendations. OVERALL RULE: All transactions require a 60-day processing window. The equivalency, general education designation, or ATF CEG recommendations effective year/terms are the same as the effective year/terms designated by the initiating institution providing the above timeline is followed. In some cases (i.e. course deletions), ‘retro-active’ effective year/terms may be awarded, at the discretion of the source and target institutions involved. CAVEATS: · Target institutions’ course deletion, modification, re-evaluation requests which would result in the loss of a direct equivalency will automatically become Departmental Electives (DEC), with the effective year/term designated by the target institution (with the exception of the event of the elimination of an entire department at the target institution). · Initiating institutions should provide ample planning and reaction time when they initiate transfer articulation actions. They should plan to provide the opportunity for students to be informed of changes before enrollment in courses, particularly in the next semester. 4. Common Courses A. Timelines for Processing Common Course Recommendations from the ATFs. The timelines for processing Common Course Recommendations from the ATFs are as follows.
Note: Common Course Matrices will be updated year-around on the AZTransfer web site as information comes to the Articulation Facilitator from the ATFs. The dates above are suggested as guidelines for determining EFFECTIVE DATES of the changes agreed upon by the ATFs. This plan includes the creation and implementation of a tracking system for ensuring that the Articulation Facilitator receives timely reports from all ATF Chairs. B. Rules for Processing Common Course recommendations from the ATFs Recommendations about common courses are relayed, on behalf of ATF, by the ATF Report to the Articulation Facilitator who insures that the recommendations are posted to the Administrative area on the AZTransfer website, and that the recommendations are reviewed first by the community colleges and then by the universities (according to the timelines below). The Articulation Facilitator then insures that the correct version of the relevant common course matrix is posted to the student area of the AZTransfer website. 5. ATF Transfer Pathway Recommendations A. Timelines for Processing Transfer Pathway Recommendations from the ATFs. The timelines for processing Transfer Pathway Recommendations from the ATFs are as follows.
Note: Transfer Pathway information will be updated year-around on the AZTransfer web site as information comes to the Articulation Facilitator from the ATFs. The dates above are suggested as guidelines for determining EFFECTIVE DATES of the changes agreed upon by the ATFs. This plan includes the creation and implementation of a tracking system for ensuring that the Articulation Facilitator receives timely reports from all ATF Chairs. B. Rules for Transfer Pathway recommendations from the ATFs Recommendations about Transfer Pathways are relayed, on behalf of the ATF, by the ATF Report to the Articulation Facilitator. The Articulation Facilitator will post the changes to the ATAC listserv, and insure that the recommendations are posted to the Administrative area on the AZTransfer website, and the recommendations are reviewed first by the community colleges and then by the universities (according to the timelines below). The Articulation Facilitator then insures that the correct version of the relevant common course matrix is posted to the Student area of the AZTransfer website. 6. Timelines for changes to course equivalency and general education designations by target institutions. Typically, changes in equivalencies and general education values initiated are communicated to source institutions as soon as they are made at the target institutions. These changes are processed year-around, pending faculty and resource availability. The timelines for changes to target institution course equivalencies and general education designations are as follows.
Processing Transactions to Support AZTransfer A. Target ATAC member Implementing Statewide General Transfer Statements General
In the CEG, the term "equivalency" does not mean that the Arizona public community or tribal college course is identical to the Arizona public university course, but that the course is regarded as fulfilling the requirement of the designated target institution course. The course evaluation and/or general education designation as listed in the CEG is valid for the term in which the student is awarded credit on the transcript. The evaluations of transfer credit in the CEG refer only to the Arizona public community and tribal college courses and their acceptance at the respective Arizona public universities. In partnership with Arizona public community and tribal colleges, the Arizona public universities are prepared to assist students who plan to pursue educational goals beyond the community college. A transfer credit evaluation is completed after a student is admitted to one of the Students are encouraged to complete lower-division general education requirements and coursework related to their program of study while enrolled at the Transfer students must meet established institutional admissions standards to be eligible to transfer to the state universities. Students are encouraged to begin planning for transfer as early as possible in their academic career, so that they will enjoy a smooth transition from a community college to the university. It is important for students to work closely with a community college academic advisor to receive the direction needed to adequately prepare for transfer. In addition, students are encouraged to consult regularly with an academic advisor at the university they plan to attend in order to ensure efficient progress toward their baccalaureate degree program.

ATAC Handbook
Part III: Facilitating and Participating in Articulation Task Force Meetings
Each ATAC representative should plan to participate in three to four discipline specific ATF meetings each academic year. Most ATFs meet only once in the fall; some meet only in the spring. A few plan meetings twice a year.
Completing Annual Responsibilities
During the summer ATAC business meeting, the committee members work with the ATF Meeting Calendar for the upcoming academic year. They decide which ATF Meetings they will each facilitate (3-4). The ATF Meeting Calendar is then updated by the ATASS Business Analyst, to include the ATAC facilitator for each meeting. After the assignments are set, if something changes and the designated ATAC member is unable to facilitate the assigned meeting(s), it is that ATAC member’s responsibility to find a replacement (consider swapping a meeting with another ATAC member). If the ATAC members cannot come to an agreement, the Articulation Facilitator should be contacted.
Preparing for the ATF Meeting
A. Communicating with the ATF chair
The designated ATAC facilitator will communicate with the ATF chair to ensure that the ATF chair understands the pathway, common course and CEG updating procedures and the time required for these items on the agenda. Additional assistance should be provided as needed.
B. Developing and sending documents
Approximately thirty (30) days before each ATF meeting, the Articulation Facilitator will send a reminder to ATF chair, host and ATAC facilitator. The reminder will include:
· Instructions on how to access the most current ATF information by providing the link to the ATF Portal Page.
· Instructions on how to access the most current version of the ATF Handbook, particularly the Sample Agenda.
· Instructions regarding the chair’s duties in preparation for, during and after the ATF meeting.
· Instructions regarding the host’s duties in preparation for and during the ATF meeting.
Approximately thirty (30) days before each ATF Meeting the Articulation Facilitator will send to ATF members and ATAC facilitator, via the official ATF listserv, an email outlining the procedures for obtaining current information for the ATF meetings. From their individual ATF Portal Page, ATF members can obtain or link to:
· Meeting date, location, time, chair and host
· Common Course Matrix which also indicates the pathway and AGEC
· CEG pages relevant to the ATF
· Baccalaureate degrees that articulate with the ATF
· Membership of the ATF
C. Taking documents to the meeting
Members of each ATF are asked to review their institutional documents prior to the annual meeting, and to be prepared to discuss changes. Although the system is designed to generate a minimum amount of paper, members and/or ATAC facilitators are welcome to bring paper documents for review. They might include:
· ATF CEG pages: some ATAC facilitators prefer to bring a set of these to distribute and review. A review should be done by each institutional ATAC representative prior to the meeting to determine if there are any changes.
· Materials to supplement the Statewide Transfer Articulation Updates (Statewide Updates), such as an ATASS Organizational Chart, acronyms, etc.
Facilitating/Participating in the ATF Meetings
A. Providing the “Statewide Update”
The designated ATAC facilitator will present the annual “Statewide Update” to the ATF members. Know how to access the updated PowerPoint from the web. ATAC facilitators can modify the Statewide Update for their ATF if they wish (for example: by copying it to a thumb drive and adding their name, the name of the ATF, the date of the meeting, etc.).
B. Monitoring Common Courses, AGECs and Pathways
The designated ATAC facilitator will present the common courses, AGEC and Pathway confirmed the prior year by the ATF members. Reconfirm or change them as is appropriate. If changes are approved, record the changes. Notes about changes and/or edited matrices should be attached to the ATF Report.
C. Facilitating Course Equivalency Guide (CEG) Updates
· Identify source and target institutional ATF lead members to discuss CEG pages.
· Assist with the CEG updates during this portion of the meeting:
o While discussing any curricular changes is appropriate at ATF meetings, only changes to existing target institution equivalencies can be acted upon at the meeting and subsequently submitted through ACETS. New source courses, course deletions, and modified source courses must go through the usual ACETS process to assure they have been properly processed and approved at the source institution. Concerns about this process from ATF members should be directed to their institutional ATAC member.
o When changes in target institution equivalencies are agreed to by target and source representatives, the ATAC facilitator will note the names, institutions and agreed upon changes. The ATAC facilitator will document the changes using the appropriate ACETS process. This may be done during the meeting or as soon as possible after the meeting, depending on the ATAC facilitator’s preference.
o All recommended CEG changes are subject to review and final approval by the target institution.
Following the ATF Meeting - Completing the ATF Report
The following includes instructions for both the ATAC facilitator (ATAC) and ATF chair (Chair).
A. Preparing the ATF Report (ATAC)
After (or at) the ATF meeting, the ATAC facilitator will initiate an ATF Report by choosing “Add ATF Report” from the Administrative section of the Chatlines Application. Generally, the ATAC facilitator will complete attendance, next meeting information, changes to common course matrices, pathways, CEG changes, etc. After creating and adding your input to the report, when you are ready to share it with the ATF chair, click “Save changes” (bottom) and then “Email Chair” link in the upper left corner of the screen. This will bring up a pre-formatted email, addressed to the ATF chair which you may edit before sending if you wish. The URL to the report is included in this email.
B. Preparing the ATF Report (Chair):
The Chair will receive the email letting him/her know there is a new report to complete. He/she will click on the URL in the ATAC facilitator’s email to edit and complete the report form.
C. Adding attachments (ATAC and Chair)
You may have documents (such as meeting notes, attendance sheets, curriculum updates from members, ATF CEG changes, membership updates, etc.) that you would like to append. The report does not require that you attach these documents, however, it accepts as many attachments as you would like to include. You are encouraged to attach the types of documents referenced above. The steps for adding an attachment include:
· At the bottom of the ATF Report click on the “Add Attachment” button
· To the right of the box that says “File Upload” there is a “Browse” button. Click on the “Browse” button and navigate to the file you would like to attach (similar to adding an attachment to an email).
· Use the file type drop-down menu to identify the type of file the attachment is. The system supports MS Word, RTF, HTML and Plain Text files.
· If you are adding curriculum updates from members, you could type “Institution Name – Type of Update” for example. Enter a name that explains what the attachment is. Then click “Save Attachment.” Your attachment will be accessible through the ATF Report. Again, you may add as many or few attachments as you like.
· Attachments to the ATF Report can be added by the ATAC facilitator after the report has been finalized. For example, if the minutes are not prepared when the report is posted (within two weeks of the meeting), they can be added later.
D. Sending the report back for review (ATAC and Chair)
· When the chair has edited and/or added information to the report and is ready for the ATAC facilitator to review it, he/she clicks the “Save Changes” button at the bottom of the page This puts the report in a “holding pattern” and further edits are possible.
· The chair and ATAC facilitator may continue to edit the report and send it back and forth (using “Save Changes” and external email notification) as needed. When the Chair is satisfied, he/she clicks “Save Changes” then “Final Submit”. An email is automatically generated to notify the ATAC facilitator the report is ready for final review.
E. Final Approval of the ATF Report (ATAC)
The ATAC facilitator logs back into the Chatlines to access the report, using the “Query Page – My forms” link, then the “View” button next to the report. The ATAC facilitator may then make changes, add attachments, or just click “Save Changes” then “Set Approved” in upper left corner. At this point it is considered the official ATF Report for that meeting. When the ATAC facilitator sets the report as approved the system prompts him/her to send a pre-formatted, editable email, indicating that the ATF Report is finished. By default, this email is addressed to the ATF listserv for that ATF and to the ATAC listserv.
From the “[ATF name] Meetings” in the upper left hand corner of the ATF Portal Page, members can link to the ATF Report, and attachments, from the year 2003 and beyond. The ATF reports can also be linked to from the Meeting Calendar on the Faculty/Admin home page.
F. Review of Pending and Completed ATF Reports (ATAC)
At any time you may review all the ATF Reports in the system. To do so, log into the ATF Chatlines, as you did above, then click on the “Query All Forms” button. (“Query Forms – MY Forms” will bring up only those forms for which you were assigned ATAC facilitator.) If you want to enter specific search criteria, you may, or you can click the “Query” button on the search engine.
You will see a summary list of the report forms that are in the system – click on the “View” button to the left of the form you would like to review, and you will be able to see the content of the form.
Reports will be marked with one of three statuses:
· Pending Review: the report has been initiated by the ATAC facilitator, but not yet reviewed by the ATF chair.
· Pending Approval – the form has been reviewed by the ATF chair, but not yet marked for final approval by the ATAC facilitator.
· Approved – the report has been stamped as ‘final’ by the ATF chair and then “Set Approved” by the ATAC facilitator.
Again, the approved reports become accessible as “Meeting Report” links from the ATF Meeting Calendar on the Faculty/Admin home page or from the ATF Portal Page [ATF name] Meeting, in the upper left hand corner.
Please contact the ATASS Business Analyst with questions or comments about the ATF
Report.
