Should you decide to transfer to a four-year university after earning your degree here at Ï㽶ÊÓƵ, it is important you verify that the classes you are taking will count at the university of your choosing. Meet with your academic counselor to make sure all of your courses are transferrable if you plan to attend a university.
Articulation is the process where college faculty review and decide if courses from one school count toward admission, transfer credit, general education, or major requirements at another school. This helps students move smoothly from high school or another college to Ï㽶ÊÓƵ, or from Ï㽶ÊÓƵ to a four-year university. When you complete an "articulated course" at Shasta, it can count toward a university's admission or graduation requirements before you transfer. Ï㽶ÊÓƵ aims to remove obstacles to make transferring credits easier and to support students moving between schools.
Ï㽶ÊÓƵ’s Articulation Officer helps create and keep updated agreements with other colleges and universities. These agreements make it easier for students to transfer credits. The officer follows the rules and guidelines in the California Articulation Policies and Procedures Handbook, a resource from the California Intersegmental Articulation Council, which is a group of professionals working to support student transfer between California colleges and universities.
