College Information
California College Guidance Initiative (CCGI)
The California College Guidance Initiative (CCGI) works to ensure that all 6th-12th grade students in California have access to a systematic baseline of guidance and support as they plan, prepare, and pay for post-secondary education and training.
What can you find on CCGI website:
- Learn about A-G college entrance requirements
- Systems of Higher Education
- Learn about Financial Aid
- Help you find career information and pathways
CCGI has two overarching objectives:
-
All high school seniors graduate with a thoughtful, well-informed, post-secondary plan.
-
Students' academic transcript, unique identifier, and college and career planning data follow them in a manner that reduces information gaps that hinder student success.
This web site provides several ways to look up information about pursuing a degree from UC or CSU. You can learn about specific majors that interest you, a university where you are considering attending, a community college in your area, or transfer information for a specific community college and university. ASSIST is an online student-transfer information system that shows how course credits earned at one public California college or university can be applied when transferred to another. ASSIST is the official repository of articulation for California’s public colleges and universities and provides the most accurate and up-to-date information about student transfer in California.
