A large majority of SBCC courses have been reviewed and approved for transfer by four-year colleges and universities through formal articulation agreements. These courses apply to one or more General Education, lower division major and/or elective requirements. These transferable courses have University of California (UC) and/or California State University (CSU) designations in this Catalog. These same designations also appear in the Schedule of Credit Classes, which is published each semester.

Most majors at four-year colleges and universities require completion of one or more lower division courses as preparation for the upper division. Nearly all of these lower division requirements can be met through transferable SBCC courses. Students can complete four-year institution lower division General Education requirements prior to transfer.

Articulation agreements, available at www.assist.org, identify which courses apply to General Education and lower division requirements at four-year universities. Students can and, in some cases, must complete before transfer the lower division requirements for majors offered by UC, CSU or independent institutions, even if SBCC does not offer the major.  For more information on articulation visit http://articulation.sbcc.edu/.

Students can qualify for transfer to a multitude of four-year majors not specifically offered at SBCC. Students should check the catalog of the college of intended transfer and meet with an academic counselor for additional information about major programs and requirements.

Articulation with Four-Year Institutions

To assist the student with transfer to four-year institutions, articulation agreements have been established with most California State Universities, University of California campuses and some independent California colleges and out-of-state institutions. These agreements define the courses at Santa Barbara City College that satisfy many lower division major requirements and General Education requirements at four-year institutions. For more information on articulation visit http://articulation.sbcc.edu/.

ASSIST is a computerized student transfer articulation information system that can be accessed over the World Wide Web. It displays reports of how California community college courses can be applied when transferred to California State Universities and University of California campuses.

ASSIST is the official repository of articulation for California’s public colleges and universities, and therefore provides the most accurate and up-to-date information available about student transfer in California. ASSIST may be accessed at www.assist.org.

Course Identification Numbering System (C-ID)

The Course Identification Numbering System (C-ID) is a statewide numbering system independent from the course numbers assigned by local California community colleges. A C-ID number next to a course signals that participating California colleges and universities have determined that courses offered by other California community colleges are comparable in content and scope to courses offered on their own campuses, regardless of their unique titles or local course number. Thus, if a schedule of classes or catalog lists a course bearing a C-ID number, for example COMM 110, students at that college can be assured that it will be accepted in lieu of a course bearing the C-ID COMM 110 designation at another community college. In other words, the C-ID designation can be used to identify comparable courses at different community colleges. However, students should always go to www.assist.org and www.c-id.net to confirm how each college’s course will be accepted at a particular four-year college or university for transfer credit.

The C-ID numbering system is useful for students attending more than one community college and is applied to many of the transferable courses students need as preparation for transfer. Because these course requirements may change and because courses may be modified and qualified for or deleted from the C-ID database, students should always check with a counselor to determine how C-ID designated courses fit into their educational plans for transfer.

Students may consult the ASSIST database at www.assist.org and www.c-id.net for specific information on C-ID course designations. Academic counselors can help students interpret or explain this information.

UC Minimum Eligibility Requirements for Transfer Admission

California Residents

As a junior-level transfer applicant, you must meet the following requirements. Some of your major preparation and general education coursework will count toward these requirements.

1. Complete the following 7-course pattern by the end of the spring term prior to fall enrollment at UC:
   • Two transferable college courses (3 semester or 4-5 quarter units each) in English composition; and
   • One transferable college course (3 semester or 4-5 quarter units) in mathematical concepts and quantitative reasoning; and
   • Four transferable college courses (3 semester or 4-5 quarter units each) chosen from at least two of the following subject areas: the arts and humanities, the social and behavioral sciences, and the physical and biological sciences.
2. Complete at least 60 semester (90 quarter) units of UC-transferable credit. No more than 14 semester (21 quarter) units of the 60 semester (90 quarter) units may be taken pass/fail or credit/no credit.
3. Earn at least a 2.4 GPA in UC-transferable courses (2.8 if you're a nonresident). Some majors require a higher GPA for admission selection.
4. Complete the required/recommended courses need for your intended major with the minimum grades. Visit ASSIST (www.assist.org) to see the major preparation coursework expected by each campus or refer to UC's Transfer Pathways, a single set of courses you can take to prepare for your major on any of our nine undergraduate campuses. 

Note: Fulfilling the UC minimum eligibility requirements does not guarantee admission to UC campuses. Admission selection criteria vary widely by campus and by major. Consult with your academic counselor or a UC campus representative to learn about the GPA and courses that may be required for admission to particular campuses and majors. Refer to the University of California website for UC transfer requirements: https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/admission-requirements/transfer-requirements/.

Non-California Residents

The minimum admission requirements for non-residents are very similar to those for California residents. Please consult with the admissions office at one of the university campuses for details. In all cases, however, non-residents must have a minimum grade point average of 2.8 or higher in all UC-transferable college coursework.

UC-Transferable Courses

Santa Barbara City College’s UC-Transferable Course Agreement (TCA) is available online at www.assist.org. In addition, the transferability of each course is indicated immediately after the course title and unit information listed in the department/course descriptions section of this Catalog.

CSU Minimum Eligibility Requirements for Transfer Admission

A Santa Barbara City College student who is planning to transfer to one of the campuses of the CSU system can qualify for admission by meeting the following requirements:

Lower-Division Transfer Admission Requirements (1 to 59 semester units)

Many campuses restrict enrollment of lower-division transfer students. California residents may be eligible for CSU admission with fewer than 60 transferable semester units (90 quarter units) if they:

• have completed "a-g" course requirements in high school;
• have graduated from high school (received a high school diploma or General Educational Development, or GED, certificate);
• meet minimum CSU admission eligibility requirements of a first-time freshman;
• have achieved an overall college GPA of at least 2.00 (This GPA is calculated using all your transfer units attempted. In case of high-demand majors and campuses, a GPA of 2.00 may not be sufficient to be admitted);
• be in good standing at the last college or university you attended. (In simple terms, “good standing” means you are eligible to re-enroll at your last college or university.); and
• have completed, with a grade of C- or better, a course in GE Section A2 in written communication and a course in GE section B4 in mathematics or quantitative reasoning.

Visit https://www.calstate.edu/apply/transfer/Pages/lower-division-transfer.aspx​ for detailed information.  Some campuses do not admit lower-division transfer students. Contact your campus of choice to determine whether there are admission limits on the number of lower-division transfer students.

Note: Students who completed college units before they graduated from high school or during the summer between high school graduation and CSU enrollment are considered first-time freshmen and must meet those admission requirements. For more information regarding General Education and pre-major requirements, consult with an academic counselor and visit www.assist.org.
Students who do not meet the minimum CSU admission eligibility requirements from high school are highly recommended to continue their education at a community college and complete 60 or more transferable semester units (90 quarter units) before attempting to transfer to a CSU. Students should complete as many of the General Education and pre-major requirements as possible. Consult with an academic counselor.

Upper-Division Transfer Admission Requirements (60 to 70 semester units)

To be admitted to the California State University as an upper-division transfer (UDT) student, you must:

• have completed a minimum of 60 semester or 90 quarter units of transferable coursework;
• have an overall college GPA of at least 2.00; your GPA is calculated using all your transfer units attempted. In high-demand majors and campuses a GPA of 2.00 may not be sufficient to be admitted;
• be in good standing at the last college or university attended. In simple terms, “good standing” means you are eligible to re-enroll at your last college or university;
• have completed 10 general education courses (30 semester units or 45 quarter units) of basic skills courses, with a grade of C- or better, and, specifically, four courses completed in the following areas: written communication, oral communication, critical thinking and mathematics/quantitative reasoning.

Note: Fulfilling the CSU minimum eligibility requirements does not guarantee admission to CSU campuses. Admission selection criteria vary widely by campus and by major. Consult with your academic counselor or a CSU campus representative to learn about the GPA and courses that may be required for admission to particular campuses and majors. Refer to the CSU Apply website for CSU transfer eligibility requirements (https://www.calstate.edu/apply/transfer/Pages/upper-division-transfer.aspx).

CSU-Transferable Courses

Santa Barbara City College’s CSU baccalaureate list of transferable courses is available online at www.assist.org. In addition, the transferability of each course is indicated immediately after the course title and unit information listed in the department/course descriptions section of this Catalog.

Santa Barbara City College Associate in Arts and Associate in Science for Transfer Degrees

Click on this link for SBCC Associate Degrees for Transfer and specific course requirements.

The Student Transfer Achievement Reform Act (Senate Bill 1440, now codified in California Education Code Sections 66746-66749) guarantees admission to a California State University (CSU) campus for any community college student who completes an “Associate Degree for Transfer”, a newly established variation of the associate degrees traditionally offered at a California community college. The Associate in Arts for Transfer (AA-T) or the Associate in Science for Transfer (AS-T) is intended for students who plan to complete a bachelor’s degree in a similar major at a CSU campus. Students completing these degrees (AA-T or AS-T) are guaranteed admission to the CSU system, but not to a particular campus or major. In order to earn one of these degrees, students must complete a minimum of 60 required semester units of CSU-transferable coursework with a minimum GPA of 2.0. Students transferring to a CSU campus that does accept the AA-T or AS-T will be required to complete no more than 60 units after transfer to earn a bachelor’s degree (unless the major is a designated “high-unit” major). This degree may not be the best option for students intending to transfer to a particular CSU campus or to university or college that is not part of the CSU system. Students should consult with a counselor when planning to complete the degree for more information on university admission and transfer requirements. For the latest information about transfer degrees, visit https://icangotocollege.com/?sitekey=adegree.

Students who have a verified AA-T or AS-T degree and meet the CSU's upper-division transfer admission eligibility requirements, but who have not been admitted to the CSU of their choice because that campus does not have enough space, they will be redirected to an alternate campus. To learn more, go to the Redirection page on Cal State Apply.

At the time of this Catalog publication, a student may earn the following AA-T/AS-T degrees at SBCC:

• Administration of Justice (AS-T)
• Anthropology (AA-T)
• Art History (AA-T)
• Biology (AS-T)
• Business Administration 2.0 (AS-T)

SBCC AA-T and AS-T Graduation Requirements

The following is required for all AA-T or AS-T degrees:

1. A minimum of 18 semester units in an “AA-T” or “AS-T” major as detailed in the appropriate departmental section of this Catalog. All courses in the major must be completed with a grade of “C” or better or Pass (Title 5 § 55063).
2. Cal-GETC pattern.
3. At least 60 CSU transferable semester units.
4. Achieve a minimum GPA of 2.0 in all CSU transferable coursework.
5. A minimum of 12 units through SBCC. 

General Education Patterns for Transfer

Santa Barbara City College students have several options to complete a General Education pattern prior to transfer:

1. California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC)
2. Campus-specific General Education Pattern
3. CSU GE Breadth and Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) - SBCC students with catalog rights prior to Fall 2025 may continue to follow the CSU GE or IGETC General Education requirements to the extent permitted by the relevant programs and institutions. Until announced otherwise, both the CSU and UC systems will continue to admit students with CSU GE or IGETC certification who began attendance at a California Community College before Fall 2025 and maintain catalog rights. Please refer to previous SBCC catalogs (https://catalog.sbcc.edu/archive/) or consult an SBCC counselor for requirements for CSU GE or IGETC. Students may request a CSU GE or IGETC Certification at https://articulation.sbcc.edu/.  

California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC)

The California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC) was developed in response to Assembly Bill 928 that requires a “singular lower division general education pathway that meets the requirements necessary for transfer admission into the California State University and University of California.” Cal-GETC combines the existing CSU GE and IGETC requirements into one unified general education pattern, fulfilling lower-division general education requirements for both systems.

Benefits of Cal-GETC

Completion of Cal-GETC enables students to transfer from a California Community College to a CSU or UC campus without needing to take additional lower-division general education courses after transfer. While completion is not required for transfer, it is strongly recommended, as it may offer greater flexibility in course selection and support timely degree completion. All CSU campuses and most UC campuses and programs accept certified Cal-GETC completion.

Limitations and Exceptions

Cal-GETC is not appropriate for all majors or colleges. It is not accepted by the following:

• UC Berkeley’s College of Chemistry, College of Engineering, College of Environmental Design, College of Natural Resources, and the Haas School of Business
• UC San Francisco
• UC San Diego’s Revelle College
• Engineering programs at several UC campuses

Students in majors with extensive lower-division preparation requirements may be better served by following the general education pattern specific to their target UC or CSU campus. Consult the UC Transfer Guidance website, for detailed information.

Requirements for Completion

Cal-GETC requires a minimum of 34 semester units across six general education areas, totaling eleven courses. Each course must be completed with a grade of C or better (C– is not acceptable if below 2.0 on a 4.0 scale). Pass/No Pass grading is allowed only if the college equates a Pass to a grade of C or better. A maximum of 14 Pass/No Pass units (excluding credit by exam) may be applied to Cal-GETC.

Note: Some CSU and UC campuses limit the number of Pass/No Pass courses that count toward transfer, graduation, or major requirements.

Important Considerations

• Completion of Cal-GETC does not guarantee admission to a specific CSU or UC campus or program.

• Completion of Cal-GETC is not required for admission to either the California State University (CSU) or University of California (UC) systems, nor is it the only method for satisfying lower-division General Education (GE) requirements prior to transfer. Additionally, completing Cal-GETC does not guarantee admission to a specific major or campus. Students are strongly encouraged to meet with an academic counselor to discuss the specific admission and GE requirements for both UC and CSU campuses.  For detailed information, visit the following resources:

  • UC admission requirements: https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/admission-requirements/transfer-requirements/
  • CSU admission requirements:
  • Upper-division transfer: https://www.calstate.edu/apply/transfer/Pages/upper-division-transfer.aspx
  • Lower-division transfer: https://www.calstate.edu/apply/transfer/Pages/lower-division-transfer.aspx
• Students must still meet university admission requirements, major prerequisites, and minimum transferable units.
• Partial Cal-GETC certification is not permitted.

Students must request general education certification from SBCC at the end of their final semester before transferring. Certification requests can be initiated at https://articulation.sbcc.edu/.

Use of Coursework from Other Institutions for Cal-GETC Certification

Coursework from other institutions may be applied toward Cal-GETC certification, but only under specific conditions. Only courses completed at U.S. regionally accredited institutions are eligible, as outlined below:

1. California Community Colleges (CCCs):
   Courses completed at other CCCs will be applied to the Cal-GETC category designated by the campus where they were taken. The courses must have appeared on that college’s official Cal-GETC list at the time they were completed. You can verify approved courses at www.assist.org.

2. Non-CCC U.S. Institutions:
   Students transferring from institutions outside the CCC system may have coursework certified for Cal-GETC only if an equivalent course is offered at a CCC. In such cases, the course will be assigned to the same Cal-GETC area as its CCC equivalent. Please consult an academic counselor for evaluation.

3. International Coursework:
   Courses taken at foreign institutions are generally not eligible for Cal-GETC certification, unless the institution is regionally accredited within the U.S. All other international coursework is not applicable.

Advanced Placement

For complete information regarding Advanced Placement exams applicable to Cal-GETC certification, see “Advanced Placement” in the Catalog Index.

International Baccalaureate

For complete information regarding International Baccalaureate exams applicable to Cal-GETC certification, see “International Baccalaureate” in the Catalog Index.

Additional Notes

Students who initially enrolled at a UC campus and return to the same UC campus after attending a community college are considered "readmits" by the UC and cannot use Cal-GETC. However, those returning to a different UC campus may be able to use Cal-GETC, but should consult with the target campus. This restriction does not apply to students who only attended UC summer sessions or Extension classes.  CSU does not have a system-wide policy that addresses these students and/ or this reverse-transfer situation and thus there is no prohibition on use of Cal-GETC for students returning to the CSU from a CCC. 

Students who complete Cal-GETC are eligible for a Certificate of Achievement from SBCC. Those who do not complete the full certification before transfer will need to fulfill the general education requirements of the receiving UC or CSU campus.

Santa Barbara City College 2025-2026 Cal-GETC Courses

Cal-GETC requirements for Santa Barbara City College are also available on the ASSIST website, www.assist.org and on the articulation website. Cal-GETC represents a minimum of 34 units of the 60 transferable units required for UC/CSU transfer admissions.

Important Notes: Courses listed in more than one area of Cal-GETC (Areas 1-6) can only be counted in one area. Each course must be completed with a grade of C or better (C– is not acceptable if below 2.0 on a 4.0 scale). Pass/No Pass grading is allowed only if the college equates a Pass to a grade of C or better. A maximum of 14 Pass/No Pass units (excluding credit by exam) may be applied to Cal-GETC.

Cal-GETC is updated every fall semester.  When registering for classes each semester, it is the student's responsibility to verify that the course(s) chosen to meet Cal-GETC requirements are applicable to Cal-GETC in the term that the course(s) will be completed.  Consult with an academic counselor.

General Education Patterns for Transfer

Santa Barbara City College students have several options to complete a General Education pattern prior to transfer:

1. California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC)
2. Campus-specific General Education Pattern
3. CSU GE Breadth and Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) - SBCC students with catalog rights prior to Fall 2025 may continue to follow the CSU GE or IGETC General Education requirements to the extent permitted by the relevant programs and institutions. Until announced otherwise, both the CSU and UC systems will continue to admit students with CSU GE or IGETC certification who began attendance at a California Community College before Fall 2025 and maintain catalog rights. Please refer to previous SBCC catalogs (https://catalog.sbcc.edu/archive/) or consult an SBCC counselor for requirements for CSU GE or IGETC. Students may request a CSU GE or IGETC Certification at https://articulation.sbcc.edu/.  

Campus-Specific General Education Pattern

Students who do not complete Cal-GETC will be subject to the General Education pattern of the campus to which they transfer. Please refer to the respective UC, CSU or appropriate four-year institution campus catalog for a complete list of campus-specific General Education requirements.
