Independent California Colleges and

UniversitiesThere are 76 ully-accredited independent colleges and universities cur-rently afliated with the Association o Independent Caliornia Collegesand Universities (AICCU) providing a host o options at undergraduate,graduate, and proessional levels or students planning to continue theireducation beyond Palomar College.




Admissions policies vary widely rom one school to another, and vir-tually all institutions give ull credit or general education courses andusually or courses designated or transer by the community college.A good rule to ollow or independent colleges as well as or out-o-state institutions is to expect ull credit or courses which are parallelin scope and content to courses oered or credit to lower division“native” students at those institutions. Articulation agreements ormany independent institutions are available in the Counseling Center.

Independent colleges are exible in admission policies and in awardingcredit. They invite interested students to make an appointment withtheir Ofce o Admissions in order to discuss transer opportunitieson a personal basis.

Financial aid may be a primary actor in considering attending an in-dependent college. Most students cut the cost in hal by attending thecommunity college to complete the lower division course work andrequirements. Inormation on fnancial aid and scholarships is availablerom the fnancial aid ofces on independent college campuses as wellas in the Financial Aid Ofce at Palomar College.

Students are advised to reer to the AICCU’s web site at www.aiccu.edu.

Private and Out-of-State UniversitiesPalomar College oers courses similar to those oered in the lowerdivision, or the frst two years, o our-year colleges and universities.Since course requirements or graduation vary between colleges, itis to the student’s advantage to choose the college or university towhich he or she plans to transer as early as possible.

Students are advised to complete the courses at Palomar Collegewhich best satisy the lower division course requirements at that par-ticular college or university to which he or she ultimately transers.Lower division course requirements typically include a set o generaleducation courses as well as a sequence o courses in the student’s

chosen major feld o study.Students are encouraged to meet with a counselor to develop an aca-demic program best suited or their transer institution and intendedmajor. The Transer and Counseling Centers maintain materials to as-sist students in their transer planning.
