What are the advantages?
Students are guaranteed admission to the selected CSUS institution upon successful completion of their associate's degree with a minimum 2.0 GPA. Specific academic and professional programs may have additional admission requirements.
Coordinated Academic Advising
While completing the associate's degree, students receive personalized academic advising from both community college and university advisors to ensure that appropriate coursework is completed and that all credits taken at the community college will apply toward their bachelor's degree.
Library Access
Students have full library privileges at the university they have designated, even while completing their associate's degree at a community college.
Registration Preference
After earning and associate's degree, students are given course registration and on-campus housing options equivalent to university juniors.
Smooth Transition
Students enjoy a smooth transition because they take classes that will transfer, have met regularly with university staff while attending community college, have become familiar with the university's academic policies and know which upper-level classes they will need to take at the university.
