Historically Black Colleges and Universities 

California community college transfer students with a GPA of 2.0 or higher (NOTE: certain HBCUs will require a higher GPA) are guaranteed admission to HBCU partner schools using either of the following two options:

• Complete an Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) using IGETC or CSU GE pattern or
• Complete a minimum of 30 UC or CSU units

Students who qualify for this guarantee can also receive an application fee waiver code for the online Common Black College Application to apply to a participating partner HBCU (four max).  There may be additional prerequisites or other requirements for certain majors. Students completing a non-ADT pathway are welcomed to apply to all partner institutions, however, benefit of guaranteed admissions is not offered. 

Additional program benefits for students under the agreement include priority consideration for housing, consideration for transfer scholarships for students with a 3.2 or higher GPA (based on funding availability), and pre-admission advising.
