I'm considering enrolling at Fullerton College because I've heard they have guaranteed transfer options to certain universities. Does anyone know more about this and which schools are included in the transfer guarantees?
Fullerton College does indeed have articulation agreements, also known as "guaranteed transfer" arrangements, with various colleges and universities. These agreements allow students who meet certain criteria to have a "guaranteed admission" to their chosen four-year institution.
The specifics of these agreements can vary by school and program, and typically require the student to take certain prerequisite courses, maintain a specified GPA, and complete an Associate Degree for Transfer.
As for which schools are included, Fullerton College has established transfer guarantees with quite a few institutions across California. This notably includes schools in the University of California (UC) and California State University (CSU) systems through the TAG (Transfer Admission Guarantee) and ADT (Associate Degree for Transfer), respectively.
UC campuses like UC Riverside, UC Merced, UC Santa Cruz, and others typically participate in the TAG program, while many CSU campuses (such as CSU Fullerton, CSU Long Beach, CSU San Bernardino etc.) accept students through the ADT program.
Also, private universities, such as Chapman University, have set up individual agreements to ease the transition for transfer students. Please note the details of these arrangements vary greatly by institution and sometimes by major.
To confirm the exact requirements and get the most accurate information, you should consult directly with the counselling or transfer center at Fullerton College. Always remember to double-check with each targeted university to ensure the whole process runs smoothly.
