Which courses are transferable?

Alliant requires 45 units of lower-division General Education (GE) that should be completed prior to transfer. There are also several prerequisite courses for each major that should also be completed prior to transfer.

Alliant will accept higher education coursework completed with a grade of “C” or better for courses that are at least 3 semester units.

There are a number of different ways you can transfer to Alliant:

1. Associates Degree
• With an AA or AS degree in your intended major, you will transfer in at least 60 units and can complete your Bachelor’s Degree at Alliant in 60 units (we call this a 2+2 agreement, which allows you to complete your bachelor’s degree in just 2 years).
• If you have an AA or AS degree in an area other than your intended major, you will be able to transfer in -at minimum- all of your GE units (45 units).
2. IGETC Certificate (Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum)
   The IGETC certificate will allow you to transfer all of your GE coursework to Alliant.
3. CSU GE Breadth
   If you are following the CSU GE Breadth requirements, your coursework will be accepted by Alliant.
4. Articulation Agreements
   Alliant has articulation agreements with all San Diego community colleges and several other California community colleges. These agreements list the comparable courses at your community college. If you follow this agreement, you are guaranteed admission to Alliant if you meet the minimum admission requirements and the courses are guaranteed to transfer if you receive a C or better in the course. Alliant's Articulation Officer Rebecca Nieboer (rnieboer@alliant.edu) is available to assist you with all of your transfer questions.  
5. Other
   An Alliant Articulation Officer is available to work with you on selecting courses at your college or university that will transfer to Alliant.

Alliant also accepts transfer units completed through AP (Advanced Placement) examinations and CLEP (College Level Examination Program) exams.
