Transfer Center
If your goal is to earn a bachelor's degree, you will need to transfer to a four-year university. We offer support services and information to students who are interested in transferring to a four-year college or university.
At COD, you can complete both your lower-division general education courses and your major preparation requirements, then transfer as a junior to your chosen UC or CSU campus, independent or out-of-state colleges.
Meet with a Transfer Counselor at the beginning of each semester to go over your transfer
education plan. The Transfer Counselor will help your stay on track and complete your
transfer goals.
