Section Seven - Articulation

California Articulation Number System CAN and Lower Division Transfer Pattern LDTP

The CAN program is in the process of being phased out and is being replaced by the Lower Division Transfer Pattern (LDTP) program. CAN numbers will no longer be referenced in the CSULB catalog as of 2009-10.

The LDTP program will provide guidance for many California Community College (CCC) students planning to transfer to the CSU. One part of each LDTP is a system-wide, major-specific course pattern that is to be completed at a CCC and that will advance the student toward graduation from any CSU campus offering the specified major. This pattern of courses will generally equal 45 units. The next part is the campus-specific requirements which will bring the total units to at least 60, but not more than 70. Details of the program are available at the Articulation Office on campus.
