Upon completion of the degree, the student is eligible for transfer with junior standing into the CSU. The STAR Act requires community colleges to develop and grant Associate Degrees in Art for Transfer (AA-T) or Associate Degrees in Science for Transfer (AS-T) with the following stipulations: * Completion of 60 semester units of coursework that would be eligible for transfer to the CSU, including General Education. * Completion of at least 18 units of coursework in a major or area of emphasis as defined by the community college. * Maintenance of a minimum grade point average of at least 2.0 in all CSU-transferable coursework. A community college student who has earned an AA-T or AS-T will be granted priority admission to the CSU in a similar bachelor's degree program with a guarantee of junior standing as long as the student meets all prescribed admission requirements.  Once admitted, the student will only be required to complete 60 additional prescribed units to qualify for the appropriate bachelor's degree.
