GE Certification

Community college certification does not guarantee that all CSU campus admission requirements have been met.

Our campus will not take courses that are not approved to meet a certain area.

For Example: ECON 209 is not an approved course to satisfy area B4 according

to the CSULA School Catalog. It is our campus responsibility to verify certain courses in fact can be used for

certain areas especially the Golden Four. EO 1065 states that a participating institution may certify completion of

courses or examinations taken at other eligible institutions, provided that all such courses and examinations would be identified for certification purposes by the institution offering them.

BSN Applicants (EO 1084)

Transfer Associate Degree: A Pathway to the CSU Degree

(Senate Bill No. 1440)

Associate in Arts for transfer (AA-T) or Associate in Science for transfer (AS-T) for California Community College students are designed to provide a clear pathway to the California State University (CSU).

California Community College students who are awarded a transfer associate (AA-T/AS-T) degree and meet the CSU minimum admission requirements are guaranteed admission with junior standing (minimum 60 semester units) and are given priority admission consideration. Once admitted, the student will only be required to complete 60 additional prescribed units to qualify for the similar baccalaureate's degree.

Admissions AppealsWhat is an appeal?

A student may appeal his or her admission denial if he or she believes his or her academic or personal circumstances could not be considered adequately through the standard admission review process or that an error occurred in the application review.

If a student believes he or she has been denied admission in error, he or she must submit an appeal within 15 days of receipt of his or her denial letter (This timeline is based on Assembly Bill 670, Section 89030.7)

Assembly Bill 670, Section 89030: Requires the CSU to ensure that its campuses implement uniform appeal procedures, as specified, for applicants who are denied admission to a campus and uniformly communicate these procedures to students, as specified.
