Current Transfer Model Curricula (TMC) Similarity Designations

Please note: Fresno State reviews TMC degree templates for similarity as a mechanism of the STAR ACT (SB1440) program. California Community Colleges create Associate Degrees for Transfer (ADTs) that are based on the TMC templates. The ADT degrees are the transfer degrees that are awarded by the community colleges, and are approved by the California Community College Chancellor’s Office. Fresno State, and all California State University campuses, do not review individual ADT degrees for similarity. For more information about TMCs visit the C-ID Website.

The C-ID website houses all descriptor and approved course information for the Course Identification Numbering System Project (C-ID). This project streamlines articulation for commonly taken transfer courses. Fresno State articulates over 100 descriptors to our courses. You may find automatic articulation for your transfer course by reviewing the tables on the courses tab.
