Community Colleges with Guaranteed Transfer?

What are some community colleges that have guaranteed transfer agreements with four-year universities? I'm interested in ensuring my credits will transfer completely, and I'd love to hear about real experiences with this process.

One well-known community college with partnerships for guaranteed admission to multiple four-year institutions is Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA). They have a program called "Guaranteed Admission Agreements" (GAA) which enables students to transfer smoothly to over 40 universities, including the University of Virginia and Virginia Tech, provided they meet certain specific academic requirements.

Another program is the Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) program in California. This program is established by seven campuses of the University of California system, including UC Davis, Irvine, and Santa Barbara, among others, and it allows California community college students to secure a place at these universities ahead of time so they can transition seamlessly after completing their associate degrees. However, the student must complete specific course and GPA requirements.

Similarly, Maricopa Community Colleges in Arizona have a network of partnerships known as Maricopa to ASU Pathways (MAPP) that provides assured transfers to Arizona State University.

As for the process, often these programs will require students to maintain a certain GPA, complete certain coursework, and sometimes complete an associate's degree. It's also important to work closely with academic advisors both at the community college and the four-year institution to ensure you are fulfilling all the necessary requirements.

There are many similar programs in other states so it might be beneficial to search specifically for the community colleges and four-year institutions in your area of interest.
