Can I be considered for the CCC Advantage if I’m from California but am not transferring from a California Community College?

No. The CCC Advantage is only available to students who are transferring from a California Community College.

Can I be considered for the CCC Advantage if I’m currently attending a California Community College but have not yet completed 30 units?

You can transfer to Whittier College with less than 30 units but, in most cases, you will need to complete 30 units to be considered for the CCC Advantage. Contact the transfer admission counselor to discuss the best option for your situation.

Can I be considered for the CCC Advantage if I’m a high school student enrolled in a dual enrollment program with a California Community College?

No. Dual enrollment students who wish to apply to Whittier College must do so at First-Year students and do not qualify for the CCC Advantage.
