Transferring from a DCCCD School to a Four-Year University

If you're thinking of starting out at a community college (Mountain View or another DCCCD school) to complete your core courses and transferring to a four-year university later on to complete your degree, this page may be helpful to you. It links to the university you want to attend and which DCCCD courses transfer to that university.

Check to see if your chosen school has an articulation agreement with DCCCD schools: some colleges and universities have a special deal with community colleges to help you get more of your degree plan completed at the community college (allowing more of your credits to transfer into the university's degree plan). Remember that tuition is much cheaper at a community college than at four-year universities -- the more classes you can take at a community college, the better!

On our April 30 meeting, graduating seniors will meet with MVC First-Year Experience advisors to help them choose the courses they will take for the Summer Bridge program. Make sure you're here for that! Your academic advisor will be your best friend, especially when you are transferring from one school to another. You want to make sure that all the classes you take at MVC will transfer to the four-year university you plan to attend, and will count toward your chosen major and degree plan.
