Advisory Council

The COTA-Advisory Council (COTA-AC) is to act as an arm of COTA. Its primary role is to review proposed revisions and initiatives to statewide transfer and articulation policies and to assess, evaluate, and provide feedback on the feasibility of implementation of said proposals. Additionally, the Advisory Council will bring forward to COTA any issues or emerging trends that will affect the transfer of students and/or post-secondary credits between institutions in this state.
