About the Transfer Center
Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide students with the knowledge and skills to successfully transfer to four-year institutions.
Services Provided
Coastline College’s Transfer Center delivers its services with an equity-minded approach. We prepare students to successfully transition from Coastline to a baccalaureate-level institution by offering the following resources and services:
- Transfer to most four-year institutions requires students to be transfer ready to apply for admission. Prior to applying, the Transfer Center is instrumental in helping and supporting students to become "transfer ready" by guiding students to establish their transfer goals and know their transfer timelines. The Transfer Center encourages students to connect with their instructional faculty who can help them with their future academics, internships, and career goals.
- The Transfer Center provides transfer information for students and the Coastline college community with new, accurate, and evolving transfer information and requirements. Annually, the Transfer Center coordinates a Transfer Advisory Board meeting.
- The Transfer Center schedules major transfer events such as Transfer Fairs and Transfer Symposiums.
- Students have online access to California public universities, articulation agreements, CSU and UC admissions applications, and private colleges. Students have access to virtual campus tours, locally and globally.
- The Transfer Center provides transfer application workshops, labs and reviews to CSU, UC, and private institutions, UC TAG (Transfer Admission Guarantee) workshops, provides information on the TAG program to UC's, CSUF, HBCU, CSULB, CSUDH, and Degree with a Guarantee (ADT) to the CSU system, next steps after admission information, guidance on denied admission appeal, and answers to unique and complex transfer questions.
- The Transfer Center provides students with access to local university representatives, as well as state-wide and nationally.

The Transfer Center partners with various CA Private Schools to offer students transfer options in the pursuit of their BA/BS or graduate degrees. Private four-year schools are affordable with scholarships, financial aid, work-study, and reduced tuition. Did you know that most private universities have waived their application fees? Compare this to the CSU and UC application fees of $70 per campus! Register for Pathways to Private Schools.

Articulation
Articulation is the process that helps students make a smooth transition from Coastline College to other colleges and universities without encountering delays through duplicated or unnecessary coursework. That is, the process of developing a formal, written agreement that identifies courses (or sequences of courses) on a "sending" campus that are comparable to - or acceptable in lieu of - specific course requirements at a "receiving" campus.
Virtual Tours
The Transfer Center has compiled some options for you to explore four-year schools statewide, and even nationwide.
