Credit Evaluation for General Education and Elective Units

Members of the Office of Admissions staff determine credit for general education courses or elective units.
Credit evaluation begins with review of transcripts. Classes that are already articulated (meaning already identified as completing CSU A-E requirements), and for which the student received a C grade or better, are automatically credited.
The Associate Director of Admission evaluates non-articulated courses on a case-by-case basis.
