What is Transfer Success Pathway (TSP)?

Definition

The Transfer Success Pathway (TSP) is the process by which you can enter an agreement with a California State University (CSU) and a particular major for later transfer. In a TSP agreement, you must meet specific transfer requirements and are guaranteed admission to one CSU program. Using CSU Transfer Planner, you can find TSP-eligible programs at a CSU, enter an agreement, and continually track your progress toward a future transfer with them. You must complete your transfer within three years of your agreement start date.

As you progress through the TSP workflow, the Transfer Success Pathway Status tile on the dashboard will update with suggested next steps.

You're eligible for TSP if you:

• Left or graduated high school in 2023.
