Starting in Fall 2024, the first cohort of 27 independent California colleges and universities will be incorporated into  ASSIST so students and transfer counselors can see the full scope of transfer options. More institutions will be incorporated in the future. 

Associate Degree for Transfer Pathway

---

The Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT), also known as the Degree with a Guarantee, is a transfer pathway articulated between California Community Colleges (CCC), the California State University (CSU), and participating AICCU institutions. A college student, graduating with an Associate in Arts for Transfer (AA-T) or an Associate in Science for Transfer (AS-T) in one of the 36 ADT majors, is guaranteed admission, at junior standing, to complete their degree.

 

What Does the ADT to AICCU mean? 

---

The ADT Commitment is the Independent California College and University sector’s adaptation of the ADT pathway. While similar to the CSU ADT, there are also some differences due to the independent nature of the state’s nonprofit institutions:

Unlike CSU, AICCU institutions are not part of a system and each campus has its own admission and graduation requirements. 
If an ADT transfer student meets all the requirements of admission to a participating institution, admission is guaranteed to that college as opposed to a system.

The ADT Commitment is:

• Guaranteed admission for the ADT students meeting admission requirements;
• Guarantees a minimum of 60 semester/90 quarter units will transfer;
• Guarantees the student starts with junior standing.
