Welcome to the CIAC 2025 Conference, a dynamic forum where professionals from across California's higher education sectors convene to address the challenges and opportunities in articulation and transfer policies. This event draws together expertise from throughout the California Community Colleges (CCC), University of California (UC), California State University (CSU), and the Private and Independent Universities, creating a unique platform for collaboration and innovation. Our focus is on navigating legislative impacts, fostering intersegmental cooperation, and advocating for policies that prioritize the academic and career success of our students. Join us for insightful discussions, the sharing of best practices, and the development of strategies designed to enhance the transfer process and support student achievement across the state.
