HOW TO PREPARE FOR TRANSFER

Four-year universities have core General Education courses and major-specific course requirements that community college transfer-bound students need to complete in order to be eligible and competitive for transfer.
Option 1 is NOT for transfer. Listed below are transfer Option II and Option III General Education Requirements.
Make an appointment with a counselor to determine which transfer option is best for you and to make sense of these options.

Did you know that Coastline and all OC California Community Colleges are in CSU Fullerton's Service Area? Important information to know due to impaction, that creates competitive admission at CSU campuses in Southern California. Offers of admission more likely if students apply within their community colleges' designated CSU Service Areas.
The community college, where a student completed transfer, determines the CSU Service Area, not student's residential address. Attended multiple community colleges? The college that verifies the degree and ADT will determine CSU Service Area.
