4 _2006 Catalog 7/29/14 3:10 PM Page 35 FOUR-YEAR UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES Chaffey College offers courses that parallel the first two years (lower division) at four-year colleges and universities. Because requirements vary among these institutions, students are encouraged to choose the college or university to which they plan to transfer as early in their educational career as possible. Students should concentrate on meeting admission requirements for their major and general education courses while attending Chaffey College. Prospective transfer students are invited to visit the Transfer Center located in SSA 120 on the Rancho Campus or contact the Transfer Center representative at Chino or Fontana for more information about transfer options, details on the transfer process and assistance in filing applications. Information about specific colleges and universities can also be found on the institution s website. Additional helpful online resources include; for California State Universities for UC campuses for articulation/major requirements for CSU and UC college/major search tool for information on private/independent institutions California State University There are 23 CSU campuses in California. In addition to checking the university s website, students can obtain more information about CSU campuses via the Transfer Center s services and resources. CSU - Bakersfield CSU - Northridge CSU - Channel Islands California State Polytechnic University, Pomona CSU - Chico CSU - Sacramento for Transfer Center activities and resources CSU - Dominguez Hills CSU - San Bernardino CSU - East Bay San Diego State University Eligible students must have completed one term at their home campus, have a 2.0 GPA, be enrolled in at least six units at their community college and have paid fees for the term. More information and application forms are available through the Transfer Center. CSU - Fresno CSU - Fullerton Humboldt State University San Francisco State University San Jose State University CSU - Long Beach California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo CSU - Los Angeles CSU - San Marcos California Maritime Academy Sonoma State University CSU - Stanislaus CSU - Monterey Bay 35 Chaffey College Cross Enrollment - California residents currently enrolled at a California community college may enroll in one under-graduate course per academic term at CSU or UC campus provided the student has met course prerequisites and space is available. Students are responsible for a nominal enrollment fee, books and parking. Cross enrollment does not constitute regular admission.
5 All the campuses of the California State University welcome applications from community college transfer students. Students who complete any college units after high school are considered transfer students. The number of units a student has completed at the time he/she enters the CSU determines the admission standards that will apply to the application. The majority of transfer students enter as upper-division transfers with 60 semester or 90 quarter units completed. Not all CSU campuses accept lower division transfers, so students who want to transfer with fewer units should check with their intended campus before applying. Admission offices at all 23 campuses use a common set of factors to make admissions decisions. All campuses have higher standards for out-of-state and international students, some campuses have higher standards for certain majors and some highly impacted campuses have higher standards for all applicants. Upper Division Transfer Admission Requirements Minimum requirements for upper division transfer include: 2.00 GPA in all transferable coursework (2.40 for non-california residents) and 60 transferable units that must include 30 units of general education work and completion of general education courses in written communication, oral communication, critical thinking and mathematics. For most students planning to transfer to the CSU, completing general education classes should be a priority along with major preparation courses. The CSU provides California Community College transfers with two systemwide options for fulfilling CSU lower division general education requirements: CSU General Education (GE) and the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC). See pages of this catalog. Within either pattern, the highest priority classes are the three courses in the English language-english composition, oral communication, and critical thinking and a college-level mathematics course. Completion of general education courses prior to transfer is usually the most efficient and costeffective path for community college transfer students. However, students pursuing highunit majors in science, engineering and math need to work closely with a counselor to plan their transfer courses to be sure they meet all the admission and major prep requirements and complete as much general education as possible. Lower Division Transfer Admission Requirements CSU campuses admitting lower-division students will make admissions decisions based on the courses completed in high school, high school grades and test scores and any college work completed after high school. More details on lower-division transfer requirements can be found at Courses Transferable to the California State University Chaffey College courses numbered from 1-99 are transferable for baccalaureate degree credit at the California State University and marked (CSU) in the Course Descriptions section of this catalog. 36 Chaffey College

7 INTERSEGMENTAL GENERAL EDUCATION T R A N S F E R C U R R I C U L U M ( I G E T C ) Completion of the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) will permit a student to transfer from Chaffey College to a campus in either the California State University (CSU) or University of California (UC) system without the need, after transfer, to take additional lower-division general education courses to satisfy campus general education requirements. Depending on the major/field of interest, the student may find it advantageous to take courses fulfilling either the CSU s general education requirements or those of the UC campus or college to which the student plans to transfer. Courses used for certification must be completed with grades C or better (C- grades are not acceptable), and be a minimum of 3 semesters. A course can not be certified unless it was on the IGETC list during the year in which it was taken by the student. Students beginning in Fall 2014 must follow the IGETC requirements. Partial IGETC certification is allowed with a maximum of two courses missing, which have to be completed after transfer. Students need Areas 1 and 2 of the transfer curriculum completed to meet minimum transfer admission requirements. Partial certification acknowledging a deficiency in Area 1 and/or Area 2 may also indicate a student does not meet the minimum transfer requirements.

Students interested in learning more about the undergraduate campuses are encouraged to visit Chaffey s Transfer Center at the Rancho campus or contact the Transfer Center representative at Chino or Fontana. The Transfer Center offers a variety of services to help potential transfer students identify options, choose a transfer destination and complete required applications. Helpful information is also available online at and on each campus website. 1 University of California, Davis 2 Berkeley 3 Santa Cruz 1 Davis 9 Merced 2 University of California, Berkeley 3 University of California, Santa Cruz 4 University of California, Santa Barbara 4 Santa Barbara 5 Los Angeles 7 Irvine 6 Riverside 5 University of California, Los Angeles 8 San Diego 6 University of California, Riverside 7 University of California, Irvine 8 University of California, San Diego 2. Complete the following course pattern requirements, earning a grade of C or better in each course: Two transferable college courses in English composition (English 1A and English 1B) Completion of a specified pattern or number of courses that provide continuity with upper division courses in the student s major GPA in all transferable courses 9 University of California, Merced Upper Division Transfer Requirements Most transfer students enter UC at the junior level. This means they have completed 60 semester units, general education and most, if not all, of their lower-division major prerequisites. To be considered for admission as a junior, students must fulfill the following: 1. Complete 60 semester or 90 quarter units of transferable college credit with a GPA of at least 2.4 (2.8 for nonresidents of California). One transferable college course in mathematical concepts and quantitative reasoning (typically Math 25) Four transferable college courses chosen from at least two of the following subject areas: arts and humanities, social and behavioral sciences, physical and biological sciences. Each course must be at least 3 semester units. Applications from prospective transfer students undergo a comprehensive review process involving specific criteria: Completion of a specified pattern or number of courses that meet breadth or general education requirements. Participation in academically selective honors courses or programs Special talents, achievements and awards in a particular field such as visual and performing arts or athletics; special skills such as demonstrated written and oral proficiency in other languages; special interests such as intensive study of other cultures; experiences that demonstrate unusual promise for leadership; or other significant experiences or achievements that demonstrate promise for contributing to the intellectual vitality of a campus. 39 Chaffey College
9 Transfer Admission Guarantee - Seven UC campuses (Berkeley and Los Angeles do not participate) offer guaranteed admission to California community college students who meet specific requirements. By participating in a Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) program, students will receive an early review of their academic records, early admission notification and specific guidance about major preparation and general education coursework. To pursue a TAG, students should meet with a Chaffey counselor to review/update a plan to address remaining UC requirements and then complete an online TAG application. When the TAG is approved, fulfill all remaining coursework and GPA requirements in the TAG agreement and then apply for admission to UC during the appropriate filing period. Interested students can find more information about eligibility criteria for each participating campus online under the Transfer heading at or by contacting the Transfer Center. TAG details will also be posted on the Transfer Center s website at Lower Division Transfer Requirements While all UC campuses welcome a large pool of junior-level transfers, most admit only a limited number of lower-division transfers. However, it can happen. Here's how: Students who were eligible for admission to UC when they graduated from high school - meaning they satisfied the subject, examination and scholarship requirements or were identified by UC during their senior year as Eligible in the Local Context (ELC) and completed the subject and examination requirements in the senior year - are eligible for transfer if they have a 2.0 GPA in their transferable college coursework (2.8 GPA for nonresidents). Students who met the scholarship requirement in high school, but did not satisfy the 15-course subject requirement, must take transferable college courses in the missing subjects, earn a C or better in each required course and have an overall 2.0 GPA in all transferable coursework to be eligible to transfer (a 2.8 GPA is required for nonresidents). Courses Transferable to the University of California Chaffey College courses numbered from 1-99 are transfer-level courses; those accepted for baccalaureate degree credit at the University of California are marked (UC) in the Course Descriptions section of this catalog. PRIVATE/INDEPENDENT COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES OUT-OF-STATE COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES Admission requirements to private and out-ofstate colleges and universities vary with each institution. Specific information regarding eligibility requirements and applications procedures is generally published in the institution s catalog and on their website. Students may also visit the Transfer Center for assistance. CHAFFEY COLLEGE TRANSFER CENTER Students are encouraged to utilize the resources and services available through the Transfer Center. Transfer fairs, specific contact information, individual appointments with university representatives and trips to visit local campuses will help students select a transfer campus. Students are also urged to work closely with their counselors to develop and maintain an educational plan to support their transfer goals. The Transfer Center is located on the Rancho campus in room SSA-120; limited services are also available at Chino and Fontana. (909) or 40 Chaffey College
