Transcripts and Test Information

Major Preparation, Articulation and Transferable Courses

While not required to meet minimum admissions requirements, transfer students can additionally complete courses which prepare for the major of choice.  Students who are attending a California Community College are encouraged to use ASSIST.org to determine transferability and applicability of courses taken at a California Community College.  In addition, prospective transfer students are encouraged to use the Transfer Planner on CSU Mentor to track your progress. (You will be required to create a free account on CSU Mentor to use this service.)
