I'm thinking of getting an associate's degree at Citrus College with the intention to transfer. Does anyone know the specific requirements and process for this? I'd love to understand what steps I need to take.
To transfer from Citrus College with an Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT), follow these general steps:
1. Choose the appropriate Pathway and Program: Citrus College offers numerous Associate Degrees for Transfer (ADT). You'll choose a degree that correlates with the major you're intending to pursue at the 4-year university.
2. Complete the required courses for the chosen Program: Each ADT degree has specific course requirements. These are usually a combination of general education and major-preparation courses (core classes specific to your chosen major). It’s typically recommended to complete English and Math requirements as soon as possible, as they are often prerequisites for many other classes.
3. Receive counseling support: Seek assistance from Citrus College's transfer center staff or a counselor for course planning, and take advantage of the resources they offer. They can help you finalize your choices and ensure that you satisfy all the necessary requirements for your intended 4-year university.
4. Maintain good academic standing: Aim to maintain a GPA of at least 2.0, which is a common minimum GPA requirement for transfer, though some universities and majors may require higher.
5. Apply for graduation: Once you’re nearing completion of required coursework (usually in your final semester), you need to apply for graduation through Citrus College.
6. Send your transcripts: Make sure to send your official transcripts to both your intended transfer university and Citrus College.
Remember that each associate degree for transfer (ADT) will have its own specific requirements, and each university that you are considering transferring to may also have additional requirements or recommendations. Be sure to refer to the specific program details on Citrus College's website and consult with academic advisors both at Citrus and at your prospective universities to ensure a smooth transition process.
