Transfer Center
Our Transfer Center is dedicated to helping you navigate the transfer process by providing essential information, guidance on requirements, and support with every step. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge and resources needed to successfully transfer to a four-year university.
As the central hub for transfer support on campus, we offer a wide range of services and programs to support your journey. These include Transfer Fairs, transfer related workshops, and access to university representatives. We also provide information on transfer pathways, transfer admission guarantee (TAG) programs, major and career exploration, application assistance, and one-on-one counseling.

During application season, we have workshops designed to walk you through each of the transfer applications and understand your responsibilities as an applicant. Know how to complete each section so that you can submit your application with confidence. View our Calendar for dates and times.
For students who would like to transfer to a campus in either the California State University (CSU) or University of California (UC) system, they will need to complete major preparation courses, general education requirements (such as Cal-GETC), and have at least 60 transferable units. Some of the UC campuses do not accept or recommend Cal-GETC for certain majors. See a counselor for more details.
For students transferring to a UC - The UC system recommends that transfer students following Cal-GETC also complete the optional Language Other Than English (LOTE) certification if transferring to a UC campus that accepts it. Please see the following campus-specific guidance for the LOTE graduation requirement at each of the UC campuses and whether they will accept the optional Cal-GETC LOTE certification.
Note: For any new student who begins at a California Community College in Fall 2025 or beyond, Cal-GETC is the singular general education pattern for transfer to a CSU or UC. Students with continuous enrollment prior to 25-26, who already completed the CSU GE or IGETC pattern prior to Fall 25, or who previously completed an ADT may be eligible for CSU GE or IGETC certification. Students should meet with a counselor for more information.Transfer Links
