Articulation
What is articulation?
ASSIST (Articulation System Stimulating Interinstitutional Student Transfer) is the official repository of articulation for California’s University of California (UC), California State Universities (CSU), and private/independent colleges or universities. It displays reports of how course credits earned at a community college can be applied when transferred to another campus in California. You can also explore majors at the UC, CSU, and independent colleges/universities by using their Transfer Major Explorer. This website is best used in conjunction with a Lassen College Counselor.

Associate Degree for Transfer
Associate Degrees for Transfer were developed under Senate Bill 1440, which guarantees that if a student completes the required lower division coursework in preparation for transfer to a California State University (CSU) they will be guaranteed admission into one of the 23 campuses and to complete the Bachelor’s Degree in 60 units. Articulation for these AD-Ts has expanded to include Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU), Association of Independent California Colleges and Universities (AICCU), and some out of state universities. Check out these sites for more information:
Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG)
The TAG program provides an opportunity for a student who is interested in one of the 6 University of California campuses (UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Merced, UC Riverside, UC Santa Barbara and UC Santa Cruz). Each institution has its own requirements for admission and major. If you meet the requirements, you are 100% guaranteed to be admitted.
Additional Agreements
Arizona State University
Oregon Institute of Technology (OIT)
Southern New Hampshire University
In 2020, Southern New Hampshire University established a statewide MOU with the California Community College Chancellor’s Office for the Associate Degree for Transfer Program
University of Nevada, Reno Transfer Agreements
Western Governors University
Lastly, if you do not see an agreement for the program you are interested in transferring to please search the campus by “transfer credit” some provide course to course equivalencies. Here is an example, click this link to University of Idaho (https://www.calstate.edu/apply/transfer/pages/ccc-associate-degree-for-transfer.aspx ), click on Transfer Course Equivalencies link and type in Lassen College. This will provide you with a list of courses to course equivalencies. Many campuses have a system like this one.
