Transfer with a GuaranteeThe Associate Degree for Transfer (AA-T or AS-T) guarantees students will meet the California State University system minimum eligibility requirements. Students earning an AA-T or AS-T will be admitted to a CSU(not necessarily to a particular campus or major). You may be granted a bump in your GPA when applying to an impacted campus outside your local area or an impacted major that is deemed similar. Once at the CSU, if you are admitted and enrolled in a designated similar degree program, you have the opportunity to complete your bachelor’s degree with as little as 60 semester units or 90 quarter units of coursework. A counselor will help you determine which CSU’s offer bachelor’s degrees that correspond to your AA-T or AS-T degree. It is still important for you to apply to the schools that interest you and follow admissions deadlines to be considered. Meet with a counselor to develop an education plan that puts you on the path toward the AA-T or AS-T degree.
