Notes

See General Education requirements for: CSU or UC
See ASSIST.ORG for the transfer requirements for the institution to which you plan to transfer.
Please Note: If planning on transferring to a four-year college or university, it is highly recommended to complete your science series courses (e.g. Biology 400, 410, 420) at the same community college. Series splitting could jeopardize the acceptance of your coursework at certain colleges and universities. Please see a counselor for additional information.
A transferable elective is defined as any class with a course number between 300 and 499. Electives may vary for the CSU and UC systems.

Zero Textbook Costs (ZTC):

The Zero Textbook Costs designation and logo are added to any course that provides free access to all required instructional materials. These are typically shared with students through Canvas. Courses that are designated as ZTC may still require students to purchase supplemental materials such as lab coats, a calculator, art supplies, etc. See full definitions and searching tips on the Zero Textbook Costs page of the college website.
