If
College Of the Canyons does not have an Articulation Agreement with my transfer
University, how may I determine the correct classes to take at
COC?
WHAT
IS ARTICULATION?
Articulation
is the process of determining whether a course or group of
courses offered at College of the Canyons (COC) is equivalent
or comparable to a corresponding course or group of courses at
another institution.
WHAT
IS AN ARTICULATION AGREEMENT?
An
articulation agreement is, most commonly, an agreement between
College of the Canyons and a college or university which
specifies which College of the Canyons courses may be
transferred to meet general education, major or elective
requirements. College of the Canyons 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. These agreements may
be found in the Counseling Office and the Transfer Center.
Agreements with California public universities, CSU and UC
campuses, may also now be found on the World Wide Web (see
below). These agreements will facilitate the
successful transfer of College of the Canyons students to
baccalaureate level colleges and universities.

IF
COC DOES NOT HAVE AN ARTICULATION AGREEMENT WITH MY TRANSFER
UNIVERSITY, HOW MAY I DETERMINE THE CORRECT CLASSES TO TAKE AT
COC?
If
you wish to transfer to a university with whom COC does not
have an agreement, you may obtain preliminary information
about that university’s requirements from their catalog
and/or their web page. The COC Transfer Center can
assist you in locating this information. Then make an
appointment with a counselor to obtain advisement about how to
best meet these requirements at COC. Articulation
