About Articulation:
Simply stated, articulation deals with how courses transfer from one college
to another. Specifically, articulation is the process of establishing which
courses offered at City College of San Francisco (CCSF) are comparable to,
or acceptable in lieu of, courses offered at four year colleges and universities.
Articulation Agreements:
Articulation agreements identify courses completed at one institution
that meet the requirements of another institution for major preparation,
general education or transferable units. Most articulation agreements
are between a community college and a university, but there can be agreements
between two community colleges or two universities.
CSU-UC Articulation:
The best resource for details on how community college courses transfer
to the California State University (CSU) and University of California
(UC) systems is the
ASSIST
website. ASSIST is California's official statewide repository of
transfer information for the CSU and UC. It can help prospective
students determine if they will receive credit for courses they
already have taken or plan to take at the community college, and
how those courses will apply to specific academic majors or general
education requirements at the university.
Private or Out-of-State Colleges:
The best place for information on how CCSF courses transfer to private
or independent colleges and universities is the Other
Colleges page of the articulation website. The Articulation
with CCSF link connects to articulation agreements
with private institutions both in California and out-of-state. It
also includes agreements between CCSF and out-of-state universities.
CCSF Articulation Office:
The articulation office at CCSF develops, proposes and coordinates
course articulation agreements. Generally, articulation proposals
are submitted for review by university faculty and are then approved
or denied. Approved articulation for CCSF courses can be found on
ASSIST, the college’s print and online catalogs, general education
handouts, and the articulation website. Comments or suggestions
for improving the CCSF articulation website may be sent to dabma@ccsf.edu
