Associate Degree for Transfer

About the ADT

Update for Transfer Students

If you’re a new Foothill College student for fall 2024 and beyond who declared an associate degree for transfer (ADT) as your goal, Foothill will input a sample education plan in your myportal, for your reference, of what classes to take to complete an ADT.

Keep in mind that the education plan is only a sample of what classes to take to complete an ADT, but will not accurately reflect the specific classes you need to take each quarter based on your overall transfer goals.

Foothill counselors will work with you to create a more realistic and accurate education plan and input it in your myportal along with your ADT education plan to help you understand what classes you need to take to complete an ADT degree as well as your overall transfer goals. 

Please meet with a counselor to help you create an education plan that will meet your overall transfer goals.
