Nunez Community College (NCC) signed an articulation agreement with Delgado Community College (DCC) on June 17, 2019 that will offer students at NCC and DCC access to more enhanced educational opportunities.

Signing the agreement was Dr. Tina Tinney (Nunez Chancellor), Dr. William Wainwright (Delgado Interim Chancellor). Ms. Tonia Loria (Nunez Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs) and Dr. Mostofa Sarwar (Delgado Interim Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and College Provost).

The historical signing establishes a transferable pathway for Nunez students to transfer coursework and complete an Associate of Applied Science in Veterinary Technology, Associate of Applied Science in Respiratory Technology or an Associate of Applied Science in Radiologic Technology at Delgado and for DCC students to transfer coursework to complete Associate of Applied Science in Process Technology or Associate of Applied Science in Aerospace Manufacturing Technology at Nunez.

Dr. Tinney noted that this "first of its kind" agreement celebrates the sharing of resources and new opportunities for our students.  "This 1 + 1 agreement represents access and opportunity that will remove barriers for our students and provide a seamless transfer for both Nunez and Delgado students. It is a unique and innovative pathway", said Tinney.

“This articulation agreement opens the door for bright, highly motivated students who want to experience all that our two colleges have to offer in academic quality, convenience, and preparation for career success. Students will truly be able to benefit from getting the best of both, and to achieve educational goals that may otherwise be more difficult or even impossible to attain.”, said Wainwright.
