Articulation Agreements
An Articulation Agreement indicates courses at a community college that transfer directly into Saint Mary's for major or general requirements.
- Courses that are transferable to the University of California (UC) system from California community colleges or another accredited college or university are typically acceptable at Saint Mary's. However, these must be completed courses with letter marks (rather than, Pass, Satisfactory, or Credit) grades of C- or above to be applied for advanced standing credit toward graduation at Saint Mary's.
