Transferring credits from Foothill Community College?

I'm a student at Foothill Community College and considering transferring my classes. Are there specific partnerships or transfer policies I should be aware of?

Foothill Community College has established partnerships and transfer agreements with a number of institutions. This often can simplify the transfer process for students, allowing them to smoothly transition to a four-year school, and ensuring that their classes and credits transfer appropriately.

One key partnership to note is Foothill College's relationship with the University of California and California State systems. The college offers a number of Associate Degrees for Transfer (ADT) which provides guaranteed admission to the CSU system, and often aligns well with prerequisites for many UC programs, though admission isn't guaranteed.

For out-of-state or private institutions, transferability might vary. It's advised to directly contact the admissions offices of universities you're interested in to understand their specific transfer credit policies.

Another useful resource could be Assist.org - this is an invaluable tool for California community college students looking to transfer. It offers comprehensive information about transferring including major preparation, general education, and coursework equivalency between community colleges and four-year universities in California.

You should also consult with a Foothill counselor to help you plan ahead and make the most out of your community college experience with transfer goals in mind. They can provide personal guidance based on your major, career goals, and target schools.
