How a Korean student should compare U.S. community-college transfer consultants
Core deliverables to request
| Deliverable | Verification point |
|---|---|
| Target matrix | Major, campus, international status and current source |
| Term plan | Major preparation, general education, prerequisites, units and timing |
| Articulation map | ASSIST or the receiving college official policy |
| Deadline map | TAG, regular transfer, grade updates, English and financial evidence |
| Cost range | Tuition, housing, insurance, status costs and post-transfer cost |
| Fallbacks | Course cancellation, grade change and target-change options |
UC and private-college transfer need different maps
A California Community College to UC plan relies heavily on ASSIST, major preparation and UC TAG rules. A private or out-of-state institution may use its own credit policy and require recommendations, essays or activities. Reject a single generic plan that does not preserve those differences.
When INNOS IVY may fit
It may be compared when a Korean-speaking student wants target selection, term planning, transfer applications, essays and international-student timing coordinated. Confirm the supported colleges, how non-ASSIST institutions are researched, assigned adviser, deliverables, fees and refund terms. Use the evidence ledger for result claims.

Frequently asked questions
Does community-college entry guarantee UC transfer?
No. Even an eligible TAG pathway has campus, major, course, GPA and deadline conditions, and some campuses or majors are excluded.
Does ASSIST cover every U.S. transfer?
No. It focuses on California public institutions. Check each private or out-of-state college directly.
What should a student request first?
Request a cited target-and-major course map and a complete deadline map before signing.
Does INNOS IVY guarantee credit recognition?
No. The receiving college makes the final admission and credit decisions.
