Along came some Pioneers …
Change was a coming:
Course Articulation is:
• The process of developing a formal, written
agreement that identifies courses from a
“sending” campus that are comparable to, or
acceptable in lieu of, specific course requirements
at a “receiving” campus.

GOALS OF ARTICULATION
• Assist students in meeting admission, general
education & major preparation requirements
• Help students progress to the next level of
education
• Create a smooth and seamless transfer for
students pursing transfer to 4-year colleges
• Reduce or eliminate lower division major
preparation to be taken at four-year colleges
Articulation Officer
• Major Roles and Responsibilities:
• Serves as a facilitator in all aspects of the articulation
process.
• Manages, updates and disseminates current, accurate
articulation data (ASSIST, UC, CSU).
• Initiates process, timely follow-up, working collaboratively
with faculty at Cabrillo as well as the receiving campuses.
• Serves as a consultant to the curriculum committee.
• Is a resource, advocate, and liaison to all faculty and
students as appropriate.

Transfer Credit-CSU
• The Cabrillo Curriculum Committee determines which courses will
be transferable to the CSU system.
• Executive Order 167 (1973) is the governing document that
authorizes CCC’s to determine which courses will be CSU
transferable.
• To ensure Bacc level, the Cabrillo Curriculum Committee asks for a
lower division parallel course to be cited at the time a new course is
presented.
• The Bacc List is used by all 23 CSU’s to determine which CCC courses
are transferable.
• The Bacc List is updated by the Articulation Officer after courses
have been approved by the Curriculum Committee.
CSU “Bacc List” Submission
Process
Math 15: Math for Elementary School Teachers
Submitted to Curriculum Committee by
Math Department
Curriculum Committee reviews course
and approves it for CSU transfer
Articulation Officer forwards course
to ASSIST
Course now transferable to all CSU's
Students can use course toward
transfer and degree
(information is available online)

Transfer Credit-UC
Proposed courses are sent annually to the UC Office of the President
for review

Courses must meet criteria for transfer credit as outlined by the UC
Office of the President

Credit is typically granted for courses on the basis of whether or not
a similar course is offered at the at any one of the University of
California Campuses

Approved courses will be included on the UC Transfer Course
Agreement (UCTCA) and is now available for articulation with

individual UC campuses.
UC Transfer Course Agreement
Submission Process
Example
 Music 11LA: Latin American Music is submitted to
Curriculum Committee by the VAPA Division—citing
a lower division parallel course at UC Berkeley.
 The parallel course is then checked by the
Articulation Officer and if it is a match-the
Curriculum Committee reviews and approves the
course for UC transferability
 The Articulation Officer forwards Music 11LA to the
UC Office of the President for review (this review
happens once a year usually in August)
 The Articulation Officer is notified within 2 months
of the submission regarding transferability. If
approved the course will be listed on the UC
Transfer Course Agreement on ASSIST.
Examples of Specific Guidelines for the Articulation of
UC Transferable Courses
Administration of Criminal Justice
Courses should be comparable to those offered by the University at the lower-division
level. Except for allowing one introductory course to the profession, the content of these
courses should not specifically deal with the functional aspects of law enforcement.
Mathematics
In order to be appropriate for transfer, mathematics courses (including statistics) must
have a prerequisite equivalent to two years of high school algebra.
Theater Arts
Theory courses, as well as performance and production courses, are articulated.
Practical courses in Broadcasting (i.e., radio and TV), or other commercially-oriented
courses, are not appropriate for transfer.
Transfer General Education
 CSU GE-Breadth (1993)
Courses proposed for CSU GE must:
1)Transfer to CSU and meet the criteria established by the CSU GE
Advisory Committees (E.O. 595)
 IGETC (1991)
Courses proposed for IGETC must:
1)Transfer to both UC and CSU
2) Meet GE Criteria as established by the UC and CSU GE Advisory
Committees (E.O. 595 for CSU GE; IGETC Notes/Policy for IGETC)
Course-To-Course Agreements
Cabrillo’s GEOG 2=SJSU’s GEOG 10
• Course-to-course agreements identify courses
that have been found to be comparable in prerequisites, content, objectives, and unit value.
• These type of agreements are negotiated by
Cabrillo and individual campuses (CSU’s, UC’s,
and Privates).
• Course agreements can be used for admission,
general education, and major preparation
requirements.

Major-to-Major Agreements
• This type of articulation customizes course articulation to
majors most commonly selected by transfer students
• Major articulation provides a more direct path to
prepare students for major preparation than that of
course articulation alone.
• Major articulation is negotiated between Cabrillo and
each 4 year campus individually.

• Application Workshops – CSU and UC
• Common Application input
Students often hear what they
want to hear …
• Instructors hear:
• “My Counselor said this course doesn’t transfer!””
• Counselors hear:
• “My instructor said this course transfers to UCSC!”
Instructors are asked: ““Does this class meet a physical science
Requirement?”
• Questions YOU can ask the student:
• Who exactly did you speak with?
• Was this a ½ hour appt? or an express appt?
• Suggest the student return to the original contact
person/counselor for a ½ hour appt.
• Do you have a Program of Study? (Major)
• Do you have an education plan?
• Refer them to an Education Plan workshop
• Are you meeting regularly with a Counselor? i.e. at least 1x per
semester
• If the student indicates a desired goal of UCLA or UC Berkeley, and
you see they are strong students – refer them to Honors
