Abstract:	Articulation is the process of meshing the students' previous education, either in terms of credits or in terms of substance of their education, with their baccalaureate program. The problem arises because of the large number of students who attend community and junior colleges and then transfer into baccalaureate programs at a four-year college or a university. This paper deals with articulation within the University of Hawaii but application throughout the country. Models of articulation are briefly described to indicate the major options that decision-makers have had. The creation of the University of Hawaii system is reviewed and current articulation practices are outlined. The articulation controversy is analyzed in terms of some academic and economic stresses within the system. Finally, a tentative solution to some of the problems is suggested. (Author/JMF)
