CSM Courses Transferable to the University of California System (UC)
Use the ASSIST website as the most reliable and up-to-date resource to determine how course credit earned at College of San Mateo can be applied when transferred to the UC and CSU systems and individual colleges within the systems. On the ASSIST website the following information is essential for transfer planning:
- CSM courses transferable to UC and CSU
- CSM courses that can be applied to IGETC (Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum) for UC and CSU General Education Certification
- CSM courses that can be applied to lower division MAJOR requirements for UC and CSU campuses and majors
- Lists of CSM to UC and CSU course equivalencies
- CSM courses that can be applied to meet the CSU graduation requirement for US History, Constitutions and California State and Local Government
IMPORTANT: There are instances when a CSM course is approved for a CSU GE area or lower division major preparation but the same course at one of our sister colleges (Skyline College or Canada College) is not approved and does not carry the same articulation. View the CSU information for the college in which you are enrolled in the course to confirm the articulation.
