Transfer Information & Requirements
Preparation to Enter
Baccalaureate-Level College or
Universities
Clovis Community 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. Clovis Community 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 amongst colleges within State Center Community
College District as well as for all colleges and universities.
Therefore, the importance of reaching a decision regarding
one’s objectives at the time of enrollment cannot be
overemphasized. With careful planning a student may be
able to earn a certificate and/or associate degree as well
as meet transfer requirements. 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.
Clovis Community College has developed numerous
articulation agreements with California State University and
University of California campuses. These agreements may
be viewed on the Clovis Community College website, in
the Clovis Community College Transfer Center, or at www.
Articulation agreements have also been developed
with some California private and out-of-state colleges and
universities. These agreements are available on the Clovis
Community College website or in the Clovis Community
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.
that provides access to articulation agreements
developed between California Community Colleges, the
California State Universities (CSU), and the Universities of
California (UC). As articulation agreements are updated, so
is the information maintained in ASSIST. See a counselor
for assistance in how to use ASSIST.
