How to transfer from a California community college to ASU?

I'm currently at a California community college, and I'm considering transferring to Arizona State University. What are the specific transfer requirements I need to be aware of? Any tips or insights would be super helpful!

Transferring from a community college in California to Arizona State University (ASU) is quite straightforward. Here's an outline of what you need to know:

1. General Standards: ASU generally requires a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 to be considered for transfer. However, some majors may require a higher GPA.

2. Coursework: When it comes to coursework, ASU typically recommends that transfer students complete the Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC) at an Arizona community college, but since you're based in California, focusing on your general education requirements and successfully completing major pre-requisites at your current college would be similar.

3. Credit Transfer: It's important to know how your current credits will transfer. ASU provides a tool called the Transfer Credit Guide that allows you to see how your California community college credits will be accepted by ASU.

4. Major Map: Review the Major Map for your intended major at ASU. The Major Map will provide a term-by-term sample course schedule for undergraduate programs at ASU. This can guide you to take the correct equivalent courses at your community college.

5. Application: When you apply to ASU as a transfer student, you must submit your official transcripts from all previously attended colleges. The application process also includes a non-refundable application fee.

Remember that transferring can sometimes be complex, due to differences in course sequence and content, so it's definitely worth directly speaking with an ASU transfer adviser to ensure you're taking the correct steps. Good luck!
