Transfer Credit Information

Course to Course Transfer Equivalence

Student transferring from California Community Colleges and 4-year public institution may refer to articulation agreements on the ASSIST website to find CSUCI major course equivalencies for work completed. ASSIST also provides CSU General Education and IGETC certification lists.

Agreements organized by Department contain equivalencies in course prefix order, i.e., all courses that articulate in the ART prefix, all courses that articulate in the BIO prefix, etc. Agreements organized by Major contain only those courses articulated in a specific major.

New articulation agreements are being published on a continual basis in an effort to increase the amount of articulation available to students and schools. Only institutions with agreements will be accessible in ASSIST. These agreements are also available at the Advising Center reception counter.
