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.
What is Articulation?
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.
Many colleges have articulation agreements, which define which courses they consider comparable. We have articulation agreements with University of California (UC), California State University (CSU), and some accredited private and out-of-state colleges.
California Public Universities (CSU and UC)
To check to see if the classes you are taking at Ï㽶ÊÓƵ will be applicable at the school you are transferring to within California, follow the link below to the ASSIST website:

Successful transfer planning involves developing an educational plan that includes completing articulated courses for major preparation and general education. Students are strongly encouraged to meet with a Ï㽶ÊÓƵ Counselor to develop an educational plan. You can make appointments through our Ï㽶ÊÓƵ Counseling.
General Education Advising Worksheets
This is for advising purposes only and not a student educational plan:
The California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC) is a single set of general education classes that California Community College (CCC) students can complete to meet the lower-level requirements for transferring to either the California State University (CSU) or the University of California (UC) systems. This curriculum is managed by the Intersegmental Committee of the Academic Senates (ICAS), which includes faculty from California's three public higher education systems.
International Coursework
International coursework may be applied to Cal-GETC if the international institution has United States accreditation. All other international coursework cannot be applied to Cal-GETC.
UC Credit Limitations
Every California Community College has a Transfer Course Agreement (TCA) with the University of California that specifies how many units of credit will be granted by the UC. Students should pay special attention to courses and units granted when applying the units to meet the 60 units for admission.
Courses Appropriate for CALGETC
Courses must be both CSU and UC transferable. Please visit for transferability.

Between Fall 2025 and Fall 2027, California Community Colleges will adopt a statewide Common Course Numbering (CCN) system. This effort is designed to:
Streamline credit transfers between community colleges and the CSU/UC systems
Help students clearly identify transferable courses
Enhance transparency and consistency in course planning
This change will affect approximately 75–80 of the highest volume transfer courses, standardizing course numbers, titles, and descriptions across the state.
