Transferring to a UC or CSU
Students should consult with their community college counselor
and a representative of the campus to which they plan to
transfer to. Students need to research:
1.
Admission requirements for the planned college or university.
2.
General education requirements. Consult with a counselor to select a
general education pattern that best meets transfer goals (CSU, UC, or the
IGETC pattern).
3.
Major preparation courses which meet prerequisites for upper division
coursework. Consult with your counselor to determine which lower
division courses and major preparation courses should be completed
before transfer.
4.
Work with the Transfer Center to facilitate a smooth transition for students
transferring to a four-year college or university.

articulation and student transfer in California.
