I'm currently at Fresno City College and exploring my transfer options. Are there any special agreements with universities that I should be aware of that could ease the transfer process?
Absolutely, Fresno City College participates in a variety of transfer agreements to facilitate the process for students moving from community colleges to four-year universities.
One of these programs is the Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) program. This program was created to smooth the transition process from the California Community College system to the California State University (CSU) system, guaranteeing admission for students who complete certain associate degree programs.
Additionally, Fresno City College is part of the Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) program, which serves to secure a spot for transfer at one of six participating campuses of the University of California (UC) system, provided you meet certain eligibility requirements and deadlines.
The college also participates in the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Transfer Guarantee Program. This program provides assurance of transfer to students from California community colleges to participating HBCUs.
Lastly, there might be specific agreements with private institutions and out-of-state universities as well. We recommend speaking with your academic counselor or the transfer center on your campus to explore all available transfer pathways and agreements. They can provide specific information for your situation and academic goals. Remember that each of these programs has its own unique requirements, so make sure to fully understand these before planning your transfer.
