Articulation Agreements

Articulation agreements allow course credits earned at one public California college or university to be applied when transferred to another. Skyline College has articulation agreements with all of the University of California (UC) campuses, most of the California State Universities (CSU), and many private colleges and universities. Completing courses as indicated in an articulation agreement does not guarantee admissions to any college.

Articulation with UC's and CSU's

The most up-to-date information on articulation agreements between Skyline College and California public colleges and universities is available at ASSIST.org. This comprehensive online resource is a student-transfer information system that shows how course credits earned at one public California college or university can be applied when transferred to another. Prospective transfer students can use ASSIST.org to look up information in two ways: via specific colleges or universities, or via major.
