Students who have earned an Associate Degree for Transfer (AA-T or AS-T) from a California Community College can continue their studies at CSUSB in a similar major. Students must apply to the similar major through Cal State Apply and, once accepted, are guaranteed to be able to graduate within 60 semester units.
IMPORTANT: Students applying to CSUSB must submit final transcripts showing all grades recorded and the ADT awarded by the final document deadline in order to receive the 60-unit guarantee. Transcripts received after the final document deadline will be added to the student's record, but the ADT guarantee will not apply.
Online programs offered through the College of Extended and Global Education are NOT eligible for the ADT-similar designation, although students who have earned an ADT can apply. Those programs may have additional admission requirements and/or degree requirements beyond 60 units.
