Sac State transfer requirements from a community college?

I'm attending a community college and plan to transfer to Sacramento State University. What are the general transfer requirements? Do I need to meet certain credits or GPA? Any advice on the process?

To be eligible to transfer to Sacramento State University, you need to meet certain conditions.

Primarily, you must earn a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 in all transferable coursework. This GPA requirement is higher if you're an out-of-state student, at 2.5.

In terms of credits, you must have completed at least 60 transferable semester units (90 quarter units). At least 30 of these units should be from general education courses, including one course in Oral Communication, one in Written Communication, one in Critical Thinking, and one in Mathematics/Quantitative Reasoning, each completed with a 'C-' grade or better.

Remember, these are the minimum requirements to be eligible for transfer. Meeting them doesn't guarantee your admission since competitive majors may require higher GPAs or additional prerequisites.

The process of transferring involves first ensuring that all your general education/basic subjects are completed to make your transfer smoother. Your college counselor can guide you on the articulation agreements between your community college and Sacramento State, which will indicate which courses are transferable.

Once you finish your coursework, you'll need to submit your application through the Cal State Apply website during the application filing period (October 1 to November 30 for fall semester). As part of this application, you'll likely need to pay an application fee unless you qualify for a fee waiver.

After you submit your application, stay on top of any document requests from Sacramento State and ensure that your final transcripts from your community college are sent to Sac State after your final semester.

Maintaining clear and regular communication with both your community college advisor and the admissions office at Sacramento State throughout your transfer process can aid significantly in ensuring a successful transition. If you have particular questions about the process, consider reaching out to Sacramento State's Office of Admissions and Outreach, which can provide detailed and personalized advice.
