Choose an Associate Degree for Transfer

An Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) is a two-year associate degree that is fully transferable to California State University (CSU) campuses, as well as many participating partner institutions including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), members of the Association of Independent California Colleges and Universities (AICCU), and selected fully online universities.

By choosing an ADT, you'll earn a "degree with a guarantee" at numerous universities within California and beyond!

General Education Pattern Transfer Programs


  • Starting Fall 2025, California community colleges have adopted the California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC), replacing the separate CSU GE and IGETC patterns. Cal-GETC provides a single, streamlined pathway for students transferring to either a California State University (CSU) or University of California (UC) campus.

    What does this mean for you?

    • If you completed CSU GE or IGETC before Fall 2025, your work will still meet transfer GE requirements for the CSU and most UCs.
    • If you are currently pursuing general education requirements, consult with a counselor to understand how Cal-GETC applies to your academic plan.
    • For students starting their general education coursework after Fall 2025, Cal-GETC will be the only GE pattern for transfer.

    For more details, schedule an appointment with a counselor or visit our Career and Transfer Center. 

    Academic Counseling Transfer Services
  • A student may submit a certification request form to the Admissions and Records Office to request an official certification of CSUGE or IGETC be sent to the student’s transferring university. Admissions will send a complete or partial certification of CSUGE or IGETC at the student’s request, however partial IGETC certifications have certain limitations.

    If a student is using coursework from another college or high school to complete the certification, an official transcript must already be on file, or be submitted together with the request. Admissions will not hold certification requests until transcripts are received.
