How accurate is the assist website???

<p>I go to a CC, but I went to CSU before I came for 1 year and I left because I didn't like it.</p>

<p>On assist, it says none of the classes I took at CSU are transferrable (which is a good thing for me).</p>

<p>For the classes I took at CSU when I look at the transfer agreement with my CC it says "Not Articulated"</p>

<p>Does this really mean none of my classes will be transferred???</p>

<p>How accurate is assist.org????</p>

<p>You’ll have to excuse me if this comes out the wrong way, but you’ve been asking questions regarding this same topic now for weeks. I doubt if anyone here is going to be able to determine if your CSU classes are going to be transferable or not, at least not any more so than what’s already be suggested to you in previous threads. Your best course of action is to call admissions and get a definitive answer from someone that works in the admission office. It literally only takes a few mins.</p>

<p>I think one question mark will suffice. Assist is 100% accurate because it is written by the campuses themselves. It is meant to determine which classes from a CC will transfer, and not the other way around, so when it says “Not Articulated” (I’m assuming it says that under your CC column) that means your CC has no equivalent class to the one you took at the CSU. This does not mean the CSU class will not transfer to your CC. The best way to determine which CSU classes will transfer is to call CSU admissions and get an answer, as dilapidatedmind said.</p>

<p>I just talked to a counselor at my CC.</p>

<p>He said that the classes WILL transfer. I don’t understand how. He didn’t even check anything or confirm. He just said that they aren’t for the GE, but they transfer as electives? Does this make sense to anyone? How would he be able to determine if these classes will transfer or not even when on assist it said NOT ARTICULATED.</p>

<p>Last time when I went to a counselor during the summer he said that the courses wouldn’t transfer over to my CC because they were different or something and that it wouldn’t count for credit/units. He took like 2 classes and had them go through a 7 day checking process to see if they were eligible or not for credit/units and none of them were. But the counselor I met with today just looked at them and told me this.</p>

<p>The counselor I saw today said with these classes that I took in CSU Chico, my total GPA with everything combined is a 2.35… am I screwed? </p>

<p>My CC GPA is a 3.8… I feel like I worked hard for nothing.</p>

<p>I have another appointment with a UC counselor tomorrow morning to see if these CSU Chico classes will transfer over to a UC. But at this point I’m really scared.</p>

<p>Can anyone clarify this for me???</p>

<p>If they count as elective units that means they count as units you can count (as in like you can count them towards a 30 unit goal), but they won’t count as classes you can use for GE (I believe that’s how it works, it’s like that for some AP Tests). If you are doing ASSIST->CSU Chico, it’s only telling you that for a class CSU Chico wants, your CC doesn’t have the equivalent. This does NOT mean that if you took a class at CSU Chico it won’t transfer back to the CC/UC. If the counselor actually ran them through the registrar and none of them are eligible, they shouldn’t count. Also credits may not transfer to CSU to CC, but may transfer from CSU to UC (or vice versa) so you have to be really clear about things.</p>

<p>I understand that, but here’s something that confuses me.</p>

<p>How would he be able to tell me that these classes are transferrable to UCs and count for my overall GPA, when he didn’t even run them through the registrar??? And how did he know??</p>

<p>I have an appointment with a UC counselor tomorrow.</p>

<p>If the UC counselor tells me its not transferrable there, does it mean it won’t be factored into my overall GPA??</p>

<p>And how likely do CSU classes transfer over to UCs?</p>

<p>I don’t trust my counselors completely.
I don’t trust assist completely.</p>

<p>Call the UC and find out if it’s a transferable course if you’re unsure. I wouldn’t risk it and just put blind faith in any of the two.</p>

<p>If it says “non-transferable”, it means that the units don’t transfer over. Classes that are non-transferrable tend to be #200-300 and above. </p>

<p>If it says “not articulated”, it means you get CREDIT for the course, but it wouldn’t count towards any requirements the course might have fulfilled. It also means there’s no equivalent of that course at the UC you want to go to. </p>

<p>For example, I took a secondary advanced writing course in community college to complete my GE requirements. When I transferred to UC Davis, I got credit for that writing course because it was transferrable, but since it wasn’t articulated at UC Davis (the counselor I talked to said that while that secondary writing course would’ve counted at UC Irvine since a lot of courses at my CC was articulated at UCI, it doesn’t count at UCD) because it didn’t match up ANY of the English courses UC Davis had, it didn’t count towards my English requirements, so I still need to take one more English class.</p>

<p>Whether or not a UC would have given you credit for the CSU classes you failed, they are still part of your permanent academic record so it does not make sense to believe if they are not transferrable they will not be considered by admissions at the schools you are trying to transfer to.</p>
