Does Diablo Valley College have transfer agreements with SJSU?

I'm looking into transferring to San Jose State University and I currently attend Diablo Valley College. Are there any specific transfer agreements or pathways I should be aware of that would simplify this process?

Yes, Diablo Valley College does have transfer agreements with San Jose State University. This type of agreement is often called an articulation agreement or transfer pathway.

An articulate agreement is a list of courses that have been pre-approved to transfer from the community college to the four-year institution, in this case, from Diablo Valley College to San Jose State University. It's like a roadmap to successfully transferring credits by outlining which credits are transferable and how they will be applied towards your bachelor's degree.

When completing courses at Diablo Valley College, you’ll want to make sure that the classes you take will satisfy the general education and major requirements at San Jose State University. This will ease your transfer process and help ensure that you’re on track to graduate on time.

It’s also important that you maintain a strong GPA. While an articulation agreement can guarantee that your credits will transfer, it cannot guarantee admission to a particular university.

In addition to following this pathway, it's a good idea to meet regularly with academic counselors at both Diablo Valley College and San Jose State University. This will help ensure that you're not only fulfilling the articulated courses but also meeting SJSU's admission requirements. This may include application deadlines, minimum GPA requirements, and potentially any supplemental application materials.

Remember, transferring is a process that involves several steps, so it's crucial to start planning early and be aware of all relevant deadlines. Good luck!
