Community College & Dual Enrollment Partnerships

Greetings from the Office of Community College & Dual Enrollment Partnerships.

Our office oversees the following areas for William Paterson University:

• Transfer Pathway 2+2 and 3+1 Agreements
• Reverse Transfer Agreements
• High School Dual Enrollment Cohort Programs

Mission

The mission of the Office of Community College & Dual Enrollment Partnerships is to provide outstanding administrative support to the academic endeavors of the five colleges at William Paterson University pertaining to transfer credit/articulation and high school dual enrollment courses. The office updates and supports the university’s transfer pathway agreements with community colleges and develops non-traditional cohort-based programs, modules, initiatives, and other original educational models.

The office substantiates the university’s mission and core values of offering excellent academic programs, increasing student success, and strengthening the bonds of community and service throughout and beyond the university. The office values collaboration, diversity, respect, accuracy, and effective communication at all levels.

What we do?

The office believes that a systematic reflection, analysis, and review of policies and procedures optimize a William Paterson University student’s academic and overall experience. Thus, the Office of Community College & Dual Enrollment Partnerships will:

• Constantly seek innovative ways to partner with university academic departments and community colleges to promote and maintain transfer credit articulation agreements and reverse transfer agreements that will accelerate our students’ timely degree completion.
• Provide administrative oversight to high school dual enrollment initiatives and programs both on campus and offsite.
