Transfer Degree Requirements

Associate degrees for transfer (also called ADTs or transfer degrees) are designed to provide a clear pathway for California community college students to California State University (CSU) degrees. California community college students who earn an associate degree for transfer are guaranteed admission with junior standing to select CSU campuses and are given priority admission consideration over other transfer students. Students who have completed a transfer degree in a major deemed similar to a CSU major are able to complete the remaining requirements at that CSU within 60 units after transfer. For more information, consult a counselor.

Students can visit the I Can Go to College website to learn more.

Transfer degrees require the following:

  1. Complete all required courses for a major with a grade of "C" or better (or "P" if taking a class Pass/No Pass).
