1. To earn an “associate degree for transfer” a student must complete 60 semester units . . . that are eligible for transfer . . . that consist of:

IGETC or CSU GE Breadth

a major or area of emphasis of at least 18 units, as defined by the CCC

2. No additional local graduation requirements may be required

3. Minimum GPA of 2.0 is required

1. “the CSU shall guarantee admission with junior status”

2. “Admission to the CSU. . . does not guarantee admission for specific majors or campuses”

3. “the CSU shall grant a student priority admission to his or her local CSU campus and to a program or major that is similar to his or her CC major or area of emphasis, as determined by the CSU campus to which the student is admitted”

“The CSU may require a student . . . to take additional

courses at the CSU so long as the student is not required to take

any more than 60 additional semester units or 90 quarter

units at the CSU. . .”

“The CSU shall not require students transferring . . . to repeat courses that are similar to those taken at the CC that counted toward the associate degree for transfer.”

112 colleges develop

112 different degrees in each

major...

a concerted, statewide response

a transfer model curriculum developed by intersegmental discipline faculty

Course identification numbering system

“Supra” numbering system

Intersegmental Faculty Discipline Rev Groups (“FDRG”) develop descriptors for courses that typically transfer

Draft descriptors in >15 disciplines

Finalized descriptors in Agriculture, Communication Studies, Sociology

C-ID discipline groups

Develop transfer model curriculum (“TMC”)

All drafts are vetted online

Once model curriculum is finalized, colleges may “adopt”

Chancellor’s Office will expedite approval

Coordination of intersegmental discipline faculty

Clear pathways for students statewide

Students earn an associate degree, complete major prep, and are given admission priority

Appropriate courses for an associate degree

Preparation for transfer

Wait for the list of disciplines that are developing a TMC

Ask discipline faculty to consider

If you “adopt” TMC, you’ll get fast-track approval in Chancellor’s Office

Using this method, we expect each college will have sufficient degrees in place by Fall

More majors will be added next year

Go to www.c-id.net Sign-up for discipline listservs

Provide input to draft TMC when prompted

4.03 S10 Transfer Degree Design (Adopted) Resolved, That the Academic Senate for California Community

Colleges, despite its prior opposition to the use of the word “transfer” in degree titles and degrees in legislation, support legislation to allow but not mandate the establishment of transfer associate degrees that guarantee transfer and protect students from repeating coursework;

Resolved . . . work with the academic senates of the California State University and the University of California to identify common major preparation pathways to simplify student course planning and to inform community college development of degrees designed for transfer; and

4.04 R S10 Title 5 Changes Defining a Transfer Associate Degree

Resolved, . . . recommend a policy to local senates to align

the courses and units required for associate degree transfer majors so as not to exceed the lower-division major requirements at the universities and to refrain from adding any additional local graduation requirements.

SB 1440 requires 18 units in major for associate degree for transfer

Local curriculum approval timelines

Why such fast review timelines?

Can’t we just use existing AoEs?

◦ Focused versus broad AoEs
