INFORMATIONAL REPORT – Transfer
TRANSFER FACTS
Mt. SAC Fall 2021 transfer admissions and enrollment rankings, even with enrollment
declines
for 2020-21:
o Second in the State for transfers to the California State University system (CSU)
for 2
years in a row
o Second in Hispanic/Latinx students in applications, admissions, and enrollment to
CSU
o First for all California community colleges (CCC) with Associate Degrees for Transfer
(ADT) on guaranteed pathways to CSU, up from #5 for Fall 2020 and #17 for Fall 2019
o Seventh in the State for transfers to the University of California (UC) for 2 years
in a row
o Fourth in the State for transfers overall to CSU and UC (combined) for 2 years in
a row
1,953 students transferred to CSU and UC for Fall of 2021.
578 students transferred to California private and out-of-state schools for 2020-2021
(out-of-state
and private school data is always one year behind in reporting).
Acceptance rates for CSU and UC remain high, 84.8% and 73.6%, respectively for 2021-22.
The top CSU destinations for Fall 2021 were Cal Poly Pomona (753), CSU Fullerton
(217) and
CSULA (150).
The top UC destinations for Fall 2021 were UC Irvine (139) and UCLA (113) which
continue to be
the two highest UC campuses for Mt. SAC transfer students. UC Riverside (93) is a
close third.
In a five-year period (2016-17 to 2020-21), a total of 12,647 students have transferred.
Transfer applications, admitted, and enrolled from Mt. SAC to UCs increased for
key equity
groups from 2020-21 to 2021-22:
Transfer Trends and Concerns
AB 928 will place students on an ADT pathway upon entrance to community colleges
that will
eventually use only one transfer general education pattern to CSU and UC:
o The new GE pattern will combine CSU Breadth and IGETC (CalGETC)
o Remove Area E “Life Skills” from the GE pattern
o Shorten time-to-degree
Cal Poly Pomona will implement a new multifactor admission formula for Fall 2023
transfer
students in order to be more equitable to historically racialized (African-American,
Latinx)
students, low socio-economic status students, first-generation college students, youth
services
impacted (Foster Youth, Ward of the Court), and increase diversity among impacted
majors.
Transfer Achievement Guarantee (TAG) Agreements have enabled students to be automatically
accepted to six of the nine UC undergraduate campuses, including UCI and UCR.
The pandemic created a 1-2 year delay in students transferring – either because
they could not
take/pass their required courses (especially science) or personal situations influenced
their
plans. An increase in the number of EOPS students accepted for transfer for Fall 2022
is a good
indication of an upward trend.
