22. Lower-Division Transfer Pattern (LDTP) Project • LDTP is an advising tool that informs students what lower division academic requirements they should complete at the CCC before entry to the CSU. • The LDTP Project is statewide articulation between California Community Colleges (CCC) and California State University (CSU) Campuses.

23. Why LDTP? • To show lower division requirements that may be completed at the CCC prior to transferring. • To assist CCC student preparation for upper division courses before entering CSU. • To stop students having to retake courses once they enter the CSU. • To decrease the time taken to earn a CSU degree for students who transfer from a CCC.

24. How do Students Benefit from the LDTP Project? • LDTP streamlines transfer requirements between the CCC and CSU. • LDTP guarantees CCC courses will transfer to specified CSU requirements across all CSU campuses. • 75% of each LDTP will articulate to any CSU campus. • LDTP creates articulation from CCCs to CSU campuses where none previously existed.

25. What Disciplines are Covered by the LDTP Project? • LDTP cover the 44 highest demand disciplines for transfer students. • 90% of transfer students pursue these disciplines. • For specific details on each discipline go to: http://www.calstate.edu/AcadAff/ldtp/agreements.shtml

26. Does LDTP Replace Current CCC-CSU Articulation Agreements? • LDTP supplements current articulation agreements and practices. • However, CSU articulation is maintained by the faculty of the individual campuses. • Just as CSU GE-Breadth applies statewide to each CSU campus’s unique General Education program, LDTP will apply statewide toward each of the CSU campuses' major preparation.

27. What is Different About LDTP Then Campus to Campus Articulation? • LDTP articulates statewide requirements applicable to every CSU campus offering the discipline. • Once a CCC course is articulated to an LDTP statewide requirement it applies to all CSU programs offering a major in the discipline.

28. LDTP Resources • Calstate Website • www.calstate.edu/ldtp • CSU Mentor • LDTP Search Module • Coming Soon… • LDTP Academic Planner in CSU Mentor • LDTP Agreements in CSU Mentor • LDTP Articulation in ASSIST

29. LDTP Search Module • Allows students to search LDTP patterns by campus, pattern, and option. • Students can review patterns previously viewed. • CSU Campuses have the ability to review student saved patterns and use this information for recruitment purposes.
