Lower-Division Transfer Patterns

It will ultimately provide major prep articulation across The CSU – for all CCCs, a benefit for students around the state

44 disciplines with patterns 90% of transfer students pursue these disciplines Statewide patterns will be honored at all campuses

offering the discipline Completion of the whole pattern for a CSU campus will

enable the student to progress to the upper division level courses in that major at the CSU campus

For the student who knows exactly what and where s(he) wants to study, current campus based major preparation articulation and local transfer admission agreements continue to be quite useful.

For the student who is initially uncertain about a major and/or CSU campus, LDTP provides a measure of flexibility and options for preparing to study at The CSU.

LDTP is a statewide alternative to each CSU campus’ lower-division major preparation.

Lower-Division Transfer Patterns

LDTP benefits all students who complete the statewide and/or whole pattern

LDTP does not replace current local TAG or TAA programs

LDTP provides major prep articulation which spans all CSU campuses – in 44 disciplines

LDTP does not abridge the faculty’s authority and discretion for setting policy and procedures for campus-based major prep articulation

The Truth about LDTP…

LDTP is one of many ways to prepare for and gain admission to CSU

LDTP admissions agreements will include impaction selection criteria for impacted majors

The Truth about LDTP…

What LDTP is - LDTP is an advising tool The statewide LDTP component is valid at any CSU

campus offering that discipline Students who:

1. exercise an LDTP admissions agreement when available, 2. successfully complete the entire set of LDTP courses,

and 3. meet all LDTP admissions agreement stipulations

will be accorded the highest admissions priority
