Is there a transfer guarantee from Fresno City College?

I've heard that some community colleges offer a transfer guarantee to certain universities. Does Fresno City College have any guaranteed transfer agreements, and what are the requirements to qualify?

Fresno City College, like many California community colleges, participates in guaranteed transfer programs with a number of four-year institutions. The specific requirements may vary based on the target university and intended major, but typically, they include achieving a minimum GPA, completing specific prerequisite courses, and meeting any additional conditions stated in the agreement.

One significant program is the Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) program which offers guaranteed admission to a California State University (CSU) campus. By completing one of the "for transfer" degree programs at Fresno City College, you would be guaranteed admission into the CSU system, although not necessarily to the specific campus or program of your choice. Do be aware that Fresno City College doesn't offer ADT for all majors.

Another option is the Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) program, which provides guaranteed admission to one of six University of California (UC) campuses for students who meet eligibility requirements. However, it's important to note that some popular campuses like UCLA, UC Berkeley, and UC San Diego do not participate, and the guarantee may also not apply to all majors at participating institutions.

Lastly, Fresno City College also has transfer agreements with some private institutions like University of the Pacific, where students who complete an AA-T or AS-T degree with a certain GPA may receive priority admission consideration.

Remember to work closely with your community college counselors to ensure you're meeting all the necessary requirements to maximize your transfer options. They can provide more detailed guidance specific to your academic goals and preferences for a four-year institution.
