Requirements for Junior Standing at Selected California Colleges and Universities

Students who plan to transfer to one of the California four-year colleges or universities should plan their courses at Butte College to include the required freshman and sophomore courses of the four-year institution. They should work closely with a counselor in order to ensure that their choice of courses at  Butte College will fulfill both major and lower division requirements for the college or university of their choice, as well as the requirements for the Associate Degree at Butte College.

CSU-degree Planning

Students should examine the catalog of the state university which they expect to attend and plan a program with the aid of their counselors. Transfer programs in this Catalog are designed to closely match lower division major requirements at CSU, Chico. To meet the California State University (CSU) transfer admission requirements, students must have all of the following:

  • At least 60 transferable units
  • A transferable course GPA of at least 2.0
  • Within the 60 transferable units, at least 30 units of General Education requirements with a grade of C or better in each course.
  • The 30 required General Education units must include categories A1, A2, A3, and B4.

Transferability of Courses

Butte College has course transfer credit agreements with most California State Universities and Colleges, and the University of California. Articulation agreements are also made for many of the career education programs

offered, such as agriculture, law enforcement, technology, home economics, and business. Students are cautioned to seek assistance in planning programs for transfer. Not all Butte College courses transfer to the State Universities and Colleges and the University of California. Admissions procedures of the State Universities and Colleges require students who are planning to transfer to use only transferable college credit courses for both admissions and graduation purposes. Students should consult a counselor in planning their programs. Articulation agreements for many California Colleges and Universities can be found at www.assist.org.

CSU General Education Certification

The 2007-2008 General Education certification requirements for California State Universities and Colleges are listed on page 112. Students enrolled on a continuous basis at a California Community College prior to the Academic Year 2007-2008 may complete their General Education requirements under the provisions outlined in the Catalog that was current at the date of their enrollment. Courses used for CSU General Education must appear on the GE list for the academic year the course was taken. Students can obtain lists of courses by contacting Butte College Counseling. For student transferring to CSU, Chico, see important GE modifications for certain majors on page 113.

GE Courses Removed From the List

General Education courses are valid as GE for transfer status only if the course is on the CSU GE list (or IGETC list) for the academic year in which the student takes the GE course. If a GE course is removed from the list in a subsequent academic year, that course cannot count towards the GE transfer if taken in the catalog year it is off the list. Plan to review with a counselor how this ruling may affect the transfer program.

For students who wish to extend their education to include a Bachelor’s Degree, Butte College offers the first two years of the four-year program. Students planning to transfer should consult a counselor for program planning purposes. In addition, students may remove any high school grade or subject deficiencies which are preventing entrance to the four-year college or university of their choice.

Program Changes

Transfer Programs and Associate Degree requirements are subject to change without notice. Information about course offerings, fees, refunds and college policies published in this Catalog is subject to change. It may be necessary to cancel courses or programs without prior notice in this publication. Students should consult a counselor for information.
