Community colleges and universities both have an agreement with each other known as articulation agreement, which means that if a student earns their associate's degree along with passing their classes, it is for sure that all their credits will be transferred. However, if a students decided to transfer early to a four-year college without receiving their associate's degree it is not a grantee that their credits will be transferred. When a student who has earned their associate's degree and is able to transfer their credits they will automatically start off as a junior in a university ,but if student without their associate's degree, schools may not take their credits or they can start off as a sophomore and perhaps even a freshmen but it all depends on the school's requirements. As I mentioned before money is a big difference between a 2-year and a 4-year college so if a students does decide to transfer without their associates degree, the student will practically lose
