Transfer Agreements & Articulation

What are Transfer Agreements & Articulation?

Transfer agreements, sometimes referred to as Articulation agreements, are the official course requirements between Los Angeles Pierce College (LAPC) and colleges or universities to which you plan to transfer. Articulated courses ensure that you are taking the correct courses for transfer.

LAPC has articulation agreements with a variety of institutions of higher education including University of California (UC) campuses, California State University (CSU) campuses, and private and out-of-state colleges/universities. Articulation can be done course-to-course, for major requirements and/or for general education requirements.

Review the current transfer course agreements listed on this page and meet with a LAPC Counselor to develop an educational plan. If you don't see an agreement with a college or university you are interested in, make an appointment with a LAPC Counselor and they can help you map out an educational plan to get you to the university of your dreams. Questions? Contact Cristina Rodriguez, Articulation Officer.

ASSIST is California's official statewide repository of transfer information for the California State University (CSU) and University of California (UC) systems, offering easy access to a single database of course transfer information. ASSIST will help you determine if you will receive credit for courses you've already taken or plan to take and how those courses will apply to a specific academic major or general education requirement.
