I'm attending San Diego Miramar College and considering transferring to San Francisco State University. Does anyone know which courses will transfer successfully and meet the requirements over there?
The best way to find out how your credits from San Diego Miramar College transfer to San Francisco State University (SFSU) is through an online service provided by California community colleges called ASSIST. This tool provides comprehensive information about how courses, grades, and units will transfer between California's community colleges, Cal State system, and University of California system.
To use ASSIST, you'll select your community college (San Diego Miramar College in this case), and the university you wish to transfer to (SFSU). After selecting these options, a list of courses at your current institution will be displayed, alongside their equivalent at the intended transfer institution. Therefore, you'll get to see exactly how each of your completed and planned courses will be evaluated at SFSU.
Just keep in mind that ASSIST is essentially a planning tool. The final determination of what transfers and what doesn't will be made by SFSU once you have applied and submitted your transcripts.
If there are specific courses not listed on ASSIST that you're curious about, you should reach out directly to SFSU's admissions office or a transfer counselor at your community college. They'll help you navigate the sometimes complex world of transfer credits and academic planning.
However, it's important to remember that meeting the minimum requirements doesn't guarantee admission to SFSU. Besides a successful transfer of credits, the university will also consider your overall academic performance and other factors when making final admission decisions.
