Articulation From Foothill College to Four-Year Universities and Colleges
What is Articulation?
Articulation is the process of evaluating courses from one educational institution to determine how they transfer to another. At Foothill College, articulation ensures that community college courses align with CSU, UC, private, and out-of-state university requirements. This helps students transfer efficiently without repeating coursework. The Articulation Office maintains official agreements with every California State University (CSU) campus, every University of California (UC) campus, and many independent and out-of-state colleges.
These agreements help students understand how their courses will transfer and count toward a bachelor’s degree. The office also works closely with faculty to review curriculum, maintain course equivalencies, and ensure that Foothill’s programs stay aligned with four-year institutions.

Transfer Resources for Students
ASSIST.org is the official statewide repository for CSU and UC articulation. Students
can use ASSIST to check how Foothill College courses transfer toward major preparation
and general education at CSU and UC campuses.
Students planning to attend private or out-of-state universities can also review Foothill
College’s listings of institutions that accept IGETC or CSU GE/Breadth for general-education
certification.
All transfer-bound students are encouraged to meet with a counselor to review the
most current agreements, discuss academic goals, and plan the best route to a four-year
degree.
