A - G Requirements
The A-G / College Entrance Requirements are a sequence of high school courses that students must complete (with a grade of C or better) to be minimally eligible for admission to the University of California (UC) and California State University (CSU). They represent the basic level of academic preparation that high school students should achieve to undertake university work
Standardized Testing
UC and Cal State Schools no longer require the submission of standardized test scores such as the SAT or ACT. However, students still have the option to take and include their scores in their college applications. Although these scores will not affect acceptance into the college in any way, it will help the school determine which courses to place students into. Additionally, taking the SAT and/or ACT can open students to more scholarship opportunities. Therefore, taking the SAT or ACT is still recommended, but no longer required.
🎓 College Entrance Information 🎓
Students considering continuing their education after high school by enrolling in a college or university should begin planning in the 9th grade. Counselors can provide valuable information and guidance in the area of college preparation. Generally, students must follow a rigorous course of study with no grades lower than a C and follow the guidelines for requirements provided by the selected college or university. General guidelines are listed below.

Community Colleges
A community college is a two-year college providing training for semi-professional and trade careers, or transfer programs to four-year colleges/universities. High school course work should include some college prep classes.
California Community Colleges are required to admit any California resident or nonresident possessing a high school diploma or the equivalent.
Transfer Programs
California Community Colleges have transfer agreements with the CSU and UC system, thus making it easier for students to transfer into those schools. Some private universities have also established transfer agreements with California Community Colleges, but not all have. In order to transfer out to a university, students must enroll in an Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) program at the community college level. It is recommended for students to visit the college's transfer center to develop a plan that will allow them to transfer to their university of choice.
