• The Master Plan for Higher Education has guided
California public higher education for the past four decades.
• The Plan includes the proviso that students can complete the first two years of a bachelor’s degree program at a community college and, if they meet certain requirements, be admitted to any UC or CSU campus.
• Today, more than ever, we are committed to helping students transfer to a 4-year university and realize their dreams to achieve a higher education.

• Have not decided on an academic or career goal
• Have not met requirements for freshman admission
• Are not ready to leave home
• Want the affordability of a community college
• Want additional academic preparation or time to explore an academic and career field.

• Approx. 60% of students attending a CSU are transfer students.
•
For the Fall 2007 term, UC admitted 90% of all CCC students that applied.
• CSU Stanislaus, CSU
Sacramento, UC Davis, and
Pacific receive the largest number of transfer students from
Delta.
• Delta students are enrolled at every CSU and UC campus.
• CCC transfers have the highest priority for admission than any other group.
• Lower division prep at a CCC is comparable to lower division prep at a CSU/UC
• Students who attend a community college will save a significant amount of money on tuition and housing.
• Community college transfer students who attain the Bachelor’s degree are employed at the same rate as students who enrolled in a
4-year college as freshman.
• Earnings of community college transfers and native 4-year students with a Bachelor’s degree are comparable.

• Develop a student education plan
(SEP)
• Meet with a counselor at least once a semester to discuss your goals and to make any changes to your plan.
• Take English and math courses as soon as you begin your college studies.
• Select a major and complete as many major preparation courses as possible.
