CSU Transfer Requirements for Sierra College?

Hey, I'm trying to transfer from Sierra College to a CSU. Can anyone break down the transfer requirements for me? I want to make sure I don't miss any key details in this process.

Sure, I can definitely help with that. Sierra College has an Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) program that guarantees admission to the California State University (CSU) system.

Here are the key requirements for eligibility:

1. Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT): You must complete an Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) in a degree that matches a similar bachelor’s degree at the CSU. Completing the ADT program guarantees you admission into a CSU, but not necessarily the campus or major of choice.

2. Golden Four Requirement: These are four general education requirements that all transfer students must meet. They include: a course in oral communication (public speaking), a course in written communication (English composition), a course in critical thinking (English composition or philosophy), and a course in mathematics or quantitative reasoning.

3. 60 Transferable Semester Units (90 Quarter Units): You need to have completed or be in progress to complete at least 60 transferable semester units (90 quarter units) before you transfer.

4. Minimum 2.0 GPA: Maintain at least a 2.0 GPA in all CSU-transferable coursework. However, some campuses and programs may require a higher GPA for admission.

5. Good Standing: You must be in good standing at the last college or university attended.

In addition to these, you should consult with your college's advising or transfer center, which can provide support and resources during the transfer process. You'll need to pay close attention to application deadlines as well, which are typically in the fall for the following academic year.

Lastly, remember that the CSU system is test-blind, meaning they do not take into account SAT or ACT scores during the admissions process. So you won't have to worry about those. Good luck with your transfer!
