About

This website was created to allow the efficient "reverse-searching" of articulations in the California higher education system. Simply enter a course and a list of equivalent courses at other institutions will be returned.

While it is trivial to check if one specific course at a college will transfer to another at a different college (by searching on assist.com), there is no easy way to find a list of courses at other institutions which are considered equivalent to one specific course. This site allows such functionality. Such a list would be desired, for example, if one wanted to fulfill their degree requirements somewhere other than their primary institution. Most community college courses offer a large amount of their courses available "online". The advantages of this are as follows:

1. A faster path to graduation by being able to take more courses (including during summer), bypass pre-requisites, and fulfill lower division requirements quickly
2. Community college courses are significantly cheaper
3. Courses taken at other institutions do not affect GPA at primary college
4. Higher course availability
5. Asynchronous community college courses are often a joke

Limitations

Articulations primarily describe equivalencies between 2-year and 4-year institutions for the purpose of transfer. As such, equivalencies between different 2-year institutions are not well documented. One can check if courses are equivalent between community colleges and between CSUs by checking their c-id. Furthermore, while the Assist website may describe describe courses which full General Education category requirements, this site does not.
