ARTICULATION
Articulation with the University of California
Articulation with the University of California system is established through the UC Office of the
President which publishes a Transfer Course Agreement for each of California’s Community
Colleges. This agreement specifies which Cabrillo College courses are accepted by the
University of California on a system-wide basis. Annually the college’s Articulation Office shall
review and submit proposed changes to the University. Additionally, articulation agreements
may be accomplished with individual campuses on a course-to–course and/or major preparation
basis through the Articulation Officer. Faculty shall submit course outlines to the Articulation
Officer for this purpose. These agreements shall be maintained and reviewed annually. The
Articulation Officer will collect and disseminate this information to students and faculty through
the College Catalog, the Transfer and Articulation website, and other printed materials.
Cabrillo College students may register for lower division courses designed for those who wish to
explore their interests in military affairs or in becoming commissioned officers in the United
States Air Force, Army, or Navy. Courses are conducted at the University of California,
Berkeley. Credit is granted through the university and will be recorded toward the A.A. or A.S.
degree at Cabrillo College upon receipt of a UC grade report.
Articulation with the California State University System
Cabrillo College shall maintain an articulation agreement with the California State University
Chancellor’s Office which specifies the Cabrillo College courses meeting transfer requirements
for the California State University system. Cabrillo College shall update each semester a list of
baccalaureate courses and forward this information to the ASSIST coordination site. A college
catalog specifying baccalaureate level courses along with a list of curricula changes shall be sent
annually to the California State University Chancellor’s Office. Further, with cooperation from
each of the campuses of CSU, course-to-course and/or major preparation agreements shall be
established through the Articulation Officer. These agreements shall be maintained and reviewed
annually. A General Education Breadth Requirement Agreement shall be developed by the
Cabrillo College Academic Council in accordance with California State University Executive
Order 595. Information regarding articulation with the California State University system and its
campuses will be collected and disseminated in the same manner as information from the
University of California system.
C-ID- Course Identification Numbering System
Cabrillo College shall also participate in the Course Identification Numbering System (C-ID)
project. Faculty members shall submit course outlines to the Articulation Office for this purpose.
C-ID numbers will be identified in the Cabrillo Catalog.

Articulation with High Schools in the District
Cabrillo College coordinates an Articulation Council with membership consisting of
representatives from the college, the local high school districts and the four year public

application and registration of students to Cabrillo College. Agendas and minutes are the
responsibility of the Counseling & Educational Support Services (C&ESS). Division office
Articulation Agreements will be maintained by the Articulation Office and are identified outside
this body.
Membership of the council consists of Cabrillo’s Dean of Counseling and Educational Support
Services/Matriculation Office, Outreach and Recruitment staff, the Director of Articulation and
Honors Transfer Program, the Articulation Specialist, representatives from Counseling, the
