Plan to Transfer

Office of Transfer & Articulation

Through the coordination of the CSCU Transfer Council, we are taking a collaborative approach to provide equitable solutions on eliminating transfer barriers and increasing transfer student success within CSCU institutions. By focusing on and raising awareness of our transfers student population, our objectives are to facilitate communication between institutions, increase transfer credit mobility, and promote best practices to provide a seamless transition from one CSCU institution to another. By providing consistent practices and increasing transparency throughout the CSCU System, we will be driving toward the overall goal of guiding students toward academic success regardless of where they start their journey.
