How to support your ADT verification:
- Confirm your AA-T or AS-T has been officially awarded by your community college
- Request final transcripts be sent to SFSU Undergraduate Admissions
- Monitor your SFSU email for verification confirmation

Participate in required program activities
An Associate Degree for Transfer (AA-T or AS-T) is required for program participation and is distinct from a standard associate degree (AA or AS). Your ADT must be verified by SFSUUndergraduate Admissions during your first semester. To confirm ADT status, consult your community college counselor or contact SFSU Undergraduate Admissions.
Students who declare a major that aligns with an SFSU-approved ADT pathway, and have earned the relevant AA-T or AS-T, can complete their SFSU bachelor's degree in 60 units. The Through in Two Program leverages the approved ADT pathway, by assisting students in finishing these 60 units within two years through providing participants with priority registration for classes and specialized educational planning support.
Students must remain declared in a major aligned with an approved ADT pathway to qualify for and continue receiving program benefits.
