The California Community Colleges work cooperatively with the University of California (UC), the California State University (CSU), and the Association of Independent California Colleges and Universities (AICCU) to ensure that community colleges transfer students have access to the necessary coursework and are provided the services needed to successfully transition to baccalaureate granting institutions. Members of the Chancellor's staff represent the community colleges on statewide policy development committees and provide leadership on statewide, intersegmental projects and technical assistance to the colleges in the areas of transfer and articulation. An established communication network of transfer and articulation personnel provides two-way communication between the colleges and the Chancellor's Office.
