How do Sierra College transfer agreements work?

I'm considering attending Sierra College and want to transfer to a four-year university later. How do their transfer agreements function, and do they have special partnerships with specific universities?

Sierra College, like many community colleges, has articulation agreements with four-year institutions. These agreements are arranged between the two institutions and outline the courses that will be accepted for transfer towards a specific degree.

In California, there are unique transfer agreements known as Associate Degree for Transfer programs (ADT). The ADT programs specifically provide a guaranteed transfer pathway to the California State University (CSU) system, and numerous private and out of state universities as well. If you complete an ADT degree (either an Associate of Arts for Transfer or an Associate of Science for Transfer) at Sierra College, you're guaranteed admission with junior standing somewhere in the CSU system.

There's also the UC Transfer Admission Guarantee (UC TAG) program which offers guaranteed admission to a UC campus for students meeting certain eligibility criteria.

Apart from transfer agreements, you might want to consider utilizing services such as transfer advising and workshops offered by Sierra College. They can guide you through the process, ensuring you meet all necessary prerequisites and deadlines, and provide help with your application or any other administrative tasks related to the transfer process.

However, each university might have its own specific requirements for transfer, even with these agreements in place. So, it's crucial to meet with a transfer counselor at Sierra College early and often, who can guide you and help you understand the specific coursework and other requirements you'll need to meet to make the transfer process go as smoothly as possible.
