Can Grossmont College credits transfer to CSU schools?

I'm a student at Grossmont College, and I'm planning to transfer to a CSU. Does anyone know if all credits from Grossmont are transferable, and are there any specific requirements I should be aware of?

Every California State University (CSU) campus accepts credits from California community colleges, including Grossmont, but the specific courses that are transferable can vary by institution. Generally, most classes that are not remedial or vocational are transferable to CSU campuses.

CSU campuses use a tool called ASSIST to track which community college classes transfer. This online system provides course articulation lists, which show how each course at a community college (like Grossmont) corresponds to a course at a CSU campus. You can use ASSIST to see if the courses you took at Grossmont will fulfill any requirements at your desired CSU.

It's essential to get familiar with the requirements of your intended major at the CSU campus you're applying to. Most majors have "prerequisite" courses that need to be completed before transfer. If you're already enrolled in classes at Grossmont, you should speak with your academic advisor to check which of your credits are transferable to ensure you are on track for a successful transfer.

Additionally, you can also take advantage of the Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) pathway, which guarantees admission to a CSU campus for qualifying students, and ensures you won't have to take more than 60 more semester units (or 90 quarter units) to finish your bachelor’s degree.

To sum up, while many Grossmont credits will transfer to a CSU, the specifics will depend on the major and specific CSU campus. Consulting with an academic advisor and utilizing tools like ASSIST will be essential in planning your transfer.
