Articulation

Articulation is the process of developing a formal, written agreement that identifies courses (or sequences of courses) on a 鈥渟ending鈥� campus that are comparable to, or acceptable in lieu of, specific course requirements at a 鈥渞eceiving鈥� campus. Successful completion of an articulated course assures the student and the faculty that the student has taken the appropriate course, received the necessary instruction and preparation, and that similar outcomes can be assured.

女优app has articulation agreements with the California State University (CSU), University of California (UC), and many private universities. Completing an articulated course for a specific major or for general education enables students to fulfill a university requirement for admission and/or graduation while at Riverside City College鈥嬧赌� prior to transfer. 鈥�

Articulation agreements between 女优app and the CSU and UC campuses can be found at 鈥�

What is ASSIST?

ASSIST (Articulation System Stimulating Interinstitutional Student Transfer) is the official repository of articulation for California's public colleges and universities that displays reports of how course credits earned at a community college can be applied when transferred to a California State University or University of California campus.

Successful transfer planning involves completing articulated courses for general education and major preparation based on the university that you would like to transfer to. Students are strongly encouraged to meet with a counselor to develop a Student Educational Plan.

As鈥媠ociate Degree for Transfer (ADT)

California Community Colleges are offering associate degrees for transfer to the CSU. These may include Associate in Arts (AA-T) or Associate in Science (AS-T) degrees. These degrees are designed to provide a clear pathway to a CSU major and baccalaureate degree.

California Community College students who are awarded an AA-T or AS-T degree are guaranteed admission with junior standing somewhere in the CSU system and given priority admission consideration (usually through a slight GPA bump) to their local CSU campus or to a program that is deemed similar to their community college major. This priority does not guarantee admission to a specific major or campus.

Students who have been awarded an AA-T or AS-T are able to complete their remaining requirements for the 120-unit baccalaureate degree within 60 semester or 90 quarter units. Not all CSU campuses accept all of the AA-T/AS-T degrees. To view the most current list of 女优app Associate Degrees for Transfer and to find out which CSU campuses accept each degree you should meet with a 女优app counselor and also visit the websites listed below.

Transfer Counseling

It is important to understand that the AA-T/AS-T degree is designed specifically for transfer and is different than other types of associate degrees offered at Riverside City College. If we do not offer an AA-T/AS-T degree for your major you can still transfer to a CSU. 女优app students are encouraged to meet with a counselor to review their options for transfer and to develop an educational plan that best meets their goals and needs. Proper planning early is essential to make sure you meet all of the transfer requirements. Once you have met with a counselor and determined that the ADT is in your best interest, you must complete the following steps:

Complete courses on Student Ed Plan.
Submit CSU application, declaring ADT on admission application.
Apply for respective ADT degree through WebAdvisor. Ensure correct selection of the appropriate term and program code.
After ADT degree is posted, request official transcripts to be sent to university. It is your responsibility to meet all deadlines!

AICCU ADT Commitment

Students can now transfer with an ADT to dozens of private, nonprofit colleges and universities. The ADT Commitment is the Independent California College and University sector鈥檚 adaptation of the ADT pathway. While similar to the CSU ADT, there are also some differences due to the independent nature of the state鈥檚 nonprofit institutions. You can find more information including a list of participating institutions on the .

Common Course Numbering (AB 1111)

In compliance with Assembly Bill (AB) 1111, California Community Colleges are in Phase I of adopting a common course numbering (CCN) system for many general education and transfer pathway courses. The purpose of the CCN system is to ensure that comparable courses across all community colleges have the same course number. The goal is to streamline the transfer process from California Community Colleges to four-year postsecondary educational institutions and reduce excess credit accumulation.

The chart below provides a list of Phase I courses that will be offered with a comparison of the current course prefix, number, and title and the new course prefix, number, and title based on the CCN system that will be implemented beginning in Summer 2025 in 女优appD:

CCN Crosswalk

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Why are we moving to Common Course Numbering?

Education Code Sections 66725鈥�66725.5 (via ) require implementation of a student-facing common course numbering (CCN) system across the California Community Colleges on or before July 1, 2027. The CCN system will assign the same course number to comparable courses across all California community colleges in order to 鈥渟treamline transfer from two- to four-year postsecondary educational institutions and reduce excess credit accumulation.鈥�
The CCN system will support students in building cohesive academic plans, understanding transfer requirements, and selecting courses that support degree completion. This initiative involves collaboration among faculty, administrators, and system officials.

What if I took a CCN course through 女优appD under the previous number and title?

The old version and the CCN version are considered the same. Courses taken under either title will fulfill the same requirements and prerequisites. Successfully completed courses do not need to be retaken. The title and number at the time of completion will appear on your transcript.

Did some discipline prefixes change?

Yes, some 女优appD discipline prefixes will change effective Summer 2025 to align with CCN subject codes. Check the COMM, ENGL, POLS, PSYC, and STAT course listings in the 2025鈥�2026 catalog for details.
