All About Articulation Agreements
Course Articulation is the process of developing a formal, written agreement that identifies courses (or sequences of courses) on a “sending” campus that are comparable to, or acceptable in lieu of, specific course requirements at a “receiving” campus.
To facilitate the university transfer process, articulation can be established course-to-course, for major requirements, and/or for general education. Articulation agreements may be unilateral or bilateral, depending on what is agreed upon by the sending and receiving institutions.
Río Hondo College has articulation agreements with California State University, University of California, and some private and out-of-state institutions.

Using ASSIST.org
It is increasingly important to complete lower-division major preparation courses required of the transfer institutions to which you wish to apply and transfer.ASSIST.org is an online student-transfer information system that shows how course credits earned at one public California college or university can be applied when transferred to another.
