California Community Colleges will certify to The California State University those courses which are of baccalaureate level and therefore transferable for at least elective credit. Credits earned in accredited community colleges will be evaluated by the Office of Admissions in accordance with Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 40409: A maximum of 70 semester units earned in a community college may be applied toward the degree, with the following limitations:
(a) No upper division credit may be allowed for courses taken in a community college.
(b) No credit may be allowed for professional courses in education taken in a community college, other than an introduction to education course.
Credits earned in regionally accredited colleges will be evaluated by the Office of Admissions and advanced standing allowed on the basis of the evidence submitted. Credit toward the fulfillment of graduation requirements will be allowed only insofar as the courses satisfactorily completed meet the standards and the requirements of the basic course pattern of the college.
Credits earned in non-accredited colleges may be accepted as a basis for advanced standing only to the extent that the applicant can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the university that a satisfactory degree of proficiency has been attained in the course in question.
For details on transferring graduate credits from other institutions, see section on Graduate Admission Procedures and Policies.
