The Student Transfer Achievement Reform Act (Senate Bill 1440, now codified in California Education Code sections

66746-66749) guarantees admission to a California State University (CSU) campus for any community college student who

completes an “associate degree for transfer”, a newly established variation of the associate degrees traditionally offered at a

California community college. The Associate in Arts for Transfer (AA-T) or the Associate in Science for Transfer (AS-T) is intended

for students who plan to complete a bachelor's degree in a similar major at a CSU campus. Students completing these degrees

(AA-T or AS-T) are guaranteed admission to the CSU system, but not to a particular campus or major. In order to earn one of these

degrees, students must complete a minimum of 60 required semester units of CSU-transferable coursework with a minimum GPA

of 2.0. Students transferring to a CSU campus that does accept the AA-T or AS-T will be required to complete no more than 60

units after transfer to earn a bachelor’s degree (unless the major is a designated “high-unit” major). This degree may not be the

best option for students intending to transfer to a particular CSU campus or to university or college that is not part of the CSU

system. Students should consult with a counselor when planning to complete the degree for more information on university

admission and transfer requirements.
