Essential Transfer Information

The following information is a brief overview of what students are advised to complete in order to transfer successfully:

• See a counselor at least once each semester to serve as your guide to the transfer process. Counseling appointments may be scheduled online by selecting "Counseling Center", "Make a Counseling Appointment" under "Student Services" on the Delta College Home Page, www.deltacollege.edu. Counseling appointments are not available by phone. The Counseling Center may be reached at (209) 954-5151, ext. 6276 for information regarding other counseling and support services.
• Counselors can assist in researching careers and majors that will fit with the student's personal interests and abilities.
• Research college campuses that have the selected major and fit the lifestyle the student would like in a four-year college or university. Arrange to visit these campuses.
• If transferring to a CSU campus, determine if the AA-T or AS-T degree exists for your intended major.
• Develop an educational plan with a counselor that will serve as map to transfer. You can use www.assist.org to determine major preparation requirements at individual CSU and UC campuses.
• Ascertain if the planned college or university provides a Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) agreement.
• Complete the appropriate general education pattern and maintain the required grade point average (GPA).
• Complete the AA-T/AS-T degree or major preparation course work with the required GPA, which will prepare the student for admission to the chosen major at the junior level.
• Apply to the college or university of your choice within the posted deadlines. Failure to apply early in the application period may negatively affect your ability to transfer.
• Apply for the Associate Degree and graduation from Delta College, if applicable.
• Once accepted to a college or university, have the general education pattern certified as complete by the evaluations office. Evaluation information may be reviewed by selecting "Evaluations" under "Services and Support" on the Delta College web site, www.deltacollege.edu. Students transferring to a CSU campus with a completed AA-T or AS-T degree do not need to have general education certified, All students should apply for a Certificate of Achievement in CSU GE or IGETC, depending upon which GE pattern was completed. Evaluators may be contacted by e-mail at: ar-evaluations@deltacollege.edu
• Forward final grades to the university as soon as they have been posted to the transcript.
• Follow all notices from the school, making special note of any deadlines that may be approaching. Register for classes at the date and time assigned.

Congratulations! You've accomplished a goal of major importance that will help to transform the rest of your life.
