What Does an ADT to an AICCU mean?
The ADT Commitment is the Independent California College and University sector’s adaptation of the ADT pathway. While similar to the CSU ADT, there are also some differences due to the independent nature of the state’s nonprofit institutions:
Unlike CSU, AICCU institutions are not part of a system and each campus has its own
admission and graduation requirements.
If an ADT transfer student meets all the requirements of admission to a participating
institution, admission is guaranteed to that college as opposed to a system.
The ADT Commitment is:
- Guaranteed admission for the ADT students meeting admission requirements;
- Guarantees a minimum of 60 semester/90 quarter units will transfer;
- Guarantees the student starts with junior standing.
