Which courses transfer from Gilbert Community College to ASU?

I'm planning to attend Gilbert Community College before transferring to ASU. Does anyone have experience with which courses are commonly accepted for transfer? I want to make sure I'm taking the right classes.

Most community colleges in any given state, including Gilbert Community College, have articulation agreements with state universities to facilitate and ease the transfer process. Generally speaking, courses classified as general education in community college are usually transferrable. These include classes in mathematics, social sciences, humanities, and natural sciences.

However, the guarantee for transferability primarily lies with courses that fall under the statewide general education core, i.e., courses that fulfill lower-division general education requirements at any public college or university in the state. For instance, basic composition, college mathematics, introductory social science classes like psychology or sociology, and general biology or chemistry classes typically transfer without issue.

For a detailed, course-by-course equivalency list, you should review the transfer guide provided by Arizona State University (ASU). They have a tool called the Transfer Credit Guide that gives you the ability to search for courses at other institutions and see how they would transfer to ASU.

In addition, meet with an academic advisor from Gilbert Community College. They often have transfer guides and can assist you in this process. It's crucial to double-check with academic advisors from both institutions to make sure that your plans are in order.

Keep in your mind that grades matter too: courses usually need to be passed with at least a C to transfer, though some schools or programs may require a higher grade. Furthermore, once you select your planned major at ASU, certain major-specific courses may need to be completed before transferring.

Some programs at ASU also have specific application requirements for transfer students, like certain prerequisites or a portfolio, so make sure to check those and plan your community college courses accordingly.

Lastly, also be aware that even if a course transfers, it does not necessarily mean it will count towards your specific degree program.

In summary, your best course of action would involve checking ASU's Transfer Credit Guide, meeting with advisors at both schools, and making sure to stay on top of course grades and additional program-specific transfer requirements.
