Guaranteed Transfer Contracts

What is a Guaranteed Transfer Contract (GTC)?
A Guaranteed Transfer Contracts (GTC) is a formal, written agreement that outlines the College of San Mateo courses you must complete before transferring to a participating institution. Upon completion of GTC requirements, transfer admission is guaranteed.

NOTE: Only a small number of 4-year institutions offer GTC's. Whenever possible, CSM participates in GTC arrangments. A GTC is not required for transfer. However, it guarantees admission upon completion of all general education and major required coursework.

A GTC may be written after you have completed at least 30 semester units of transferable coursework, and may be written up to one year before transfer. Contact your counselor as soon as you start CSM to begin planning.

For more answers to GTC questions, please read GTC FAQs.
