Transfer Degrees:

SB 1440 - Student Transfer Achievement Reform Act

The Student Transfer Achievement Reform Act (STAR) enables the California Community Colleges and California State University to collaborate on the creation of the Associate in Arts Degree program for transfer. 

CSU Admission

A California Community College student who has earned the Associate in Arts degree for Transfer (AA-T) or the Associate in Science degree for Transfer (AS-T) will be granted priority admission consideration to the CSU into a "similar" baccalaureate (BA) degree program with a guarantee of junior standing as long as the student meets all prescribed admission requirements. 

After Transfer

Once admitted to CSU, the student would only be required to complete 60 additional prescribed semester units (90 quarter units) to qualify for the similar baccalaureate (BA/BS) degree. 

SB 1440 does not guarantee a student admission for a specified major or campus, but requires the California State University to grant a student priority admission consideration to the local CSU campus and to a program or major that is similar to the transfer AA/AS degree as determined by the California State University.
