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. This process determines whether a course sufficiently matches the content and learning outcomes for a general education course. This evaluation is usually completed by reviewing the catalog entry for the course in question but may require a review of the course syllabus.
