What is Articulation?

Articulation is the process of developing a formal, written agreement that identifies courses, or sequences of courses, from a "sending" campus that are comparable to, or acceptable in lieu of specific course requirements at a "receiving" campus. The main purpose of articulation is to facilitate the successful transfer of students from a community college to a four-year institution.

What is an Articulation Agreement?

An articulation agreement is, most commonly, an agreement between Glendale Community College (GCC) and a college or university, which specifies which GCC courses may be transferred to meet general education, major, or elective requirements. GCC has a number of articulation agreements with California State University (CSU), University of California (UC) and private institutions in California as well as out-of-state.

Below you will find the articulation agreements that GCC has in place with both in-state and out-of-state colleges and universities, as well as transfer guides and transfer credit equivalencies information for several institutions.

Note: Courses listed as comparable on the articulation agreements and transfer credit guides are only one-way articulation information. GCC may not view courses taken at other institutions as comparable when determining prerequisites. Courses from these colleges/universities that students intend to use towards a GCC associate degree or certificate will need to be reviewed and evaluated according to GCC requirements for the associate degree, or if the courses will be acceptable for use on the CSU GE Breadth, IGETC, and/or Cal-GETC patterns.
