​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Articulation Agreements (CSU/UC/Private Institutions/Out-of-State)

Articulation is the process that links two educational institutions to help students make a smooth transition from a community college such as Santa Ana College to a four-year college or university without experiencing a delay or duplication of cour​sework. Courses at the Community College are identified as equivalent to courses at the university. This allows students to fulfill a university requirement by taking an identified equivalent course (articulated course) at the Community College.

This equivalency, or articulation, can be done course-to-course, for major requirements and/or for general education requirements. In some cases, courses are only articulated (identified) as elective courses.  This means that though the units will transfer, the course does not fulfi​ll any of the above listed requirements.
