Course-To-Course (by Department ) Agreements

Course-to-Course agreements identify individual courses or sequences of courses at a sending institution that are comparable to, or "acceptable in lieu of" a corresponding course or sequence of courses at a receiving institution. As with General Education-Breadth agreements, course-to-course agreements are developed from the basic pool of transferable courses accepted for baccalaureate credit. These courses are identified on ASSIST as articulation “By Department.” The appropriate CSU or UC AO notifies community college AOs via ASSIST whenever changes are made to the agreement.

Since articulation is granted only between community colleges and universities for lower division courses, on rare occasions “content credit” may be granted identifying a lower division community college course that is acceptable in lieu of an upper division CSU or UC course. In these cases, students who receive content credit will be required to substitute other upper division units after matriculation to the university.

Course catalog descriptions, official course outlines of record, and other supplemental materials may be used in the creation of these agreements.

Independent institutions and community colleges sometimes publish their course-to-course articulation agreements on their respective college/university web sites.

(Example: De Anza's Course-to-Course Agreement with San Jose State)
