Reedley College Catalog 2018-19

37 Transfer Information & Requirements 2018-2019 Catalog Transfer Information & Requirements Preparation to Enter Baccalaureate- Level Colleges or Universities Reedley College offers many of the lower division (freshman and sophomore level) classes that are part of the requirements to earn a baccalaureate degree at a college or university. Reedley College students may complete all or most of their lower division general education and major preparation before transferring. The requirements for transfer and the requirements for a certificate and/or associate degree program can be very different. With careful planning a student may be able to earn a certificate and/or associate degree as well as meet transfer requirements. Therefore, the importance of reaching a decision regarding one’s objectives at the time of enrollment cannot be overemphasized. Also, there are differences in the transfer requirements of colleges and universities. Therefore, it is advisable for entering students to plan a program which meets the requirements of the particular college or university to which they wish to transfer. Students should consult the catalog of the specific college or university which they plan to attend. Counselors will assist in interpreting catalog statements and requirements and with developing a Student Educational Plan (SEP) upon request. Catalogs of many universities and colleges are available in the Transfer Center. It is, however, wise for students to order their own personal copies directly from the college or university of their choice. Articulation Articulation is a process of developing formal written agreements that identify courses at one college that are accepted in lieu of specific courses at another college or that fulfill a specific statewide pattern of general education. Reedley College has developed numerous articulation agreements with California State University and University of California campuses. These agreements may be viewed on the Reedley College website, in the Reedley College Transfer Center, or at www.assist.org. Articulation agreements have also been developed with some California private and out-of-state colleges and universities. These agreements are available on the Reedley College website or in the Reedley College Transfer Center as well. See a counselor for assistance. Articulation System Stimulating Inter- Institutional Student Transfer (ASSIST) ASSIST is a single computerized database located at www. assist.org that provides access to articulation agreements developed between California Community Colleges, the California State Universities (CSU), and the Universities of California (UC).
