Transferring Your Community College Degree or Credits to WGU is Simple
When transferring from a California community college, you can expect your credits to transfer generously. If you have completed an Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT), an AA-T or an AS-T, you are guaranteed admission to WGU. Other degrees such as the Associate in Science, Associate in Arts, or the Associate in Applied Science will be evaluated on a course by course basis unless otherwise notated on the relevant transfer pathway for your intended major at WGU. If you have not completed a degree at a community college, IGETC and CSU approved courses will be accepted for transfer credit based on the WGU degree programs. See the transfer pathways below and if you have questions, please speak with your college counselor or a WGU enrollment counselor*.
*Enrollment counselor cannot provide a "transfer assessment."
