Problem
California community college students often lack clear, authoritative guidance on which courses will transfer to their desired UC or CSU campuses, leading to inefficient course selection and delayed graduation. Institutions also struggle to provide data‑driven advising at scale, resulting in lower transfer rates and poorer student outcomes.
Solution
Traject offers a cloud‑based platform that aggregates official California articulation agreements and state transfer requirements to generate personalized, semester‑by‑semester transfer plans. An AI advisor answers real‑time questions about prerequisites, deadlines, and eligibility, while a College Explorer lets users compare UC, CSU, and private institutions on acceptance rates, costs, and majors. The platform is mobile‑friendly and integrates directly with college advising workflows, enabling institutions to deliver consistent, data‑driven guidance that improves transfer success.
Target Audience
Primary users are California community‑college students planning transfers to UC, CSU, or private universities, and the colleges’ advising offices that support those students.
