• Admission & Registration Status Prior to Receipt of ALL Official Transcripts (Page 6):

  - Spring 2013-completion recommended by summer 2012.
• Grades in Repeated Courses Taken From Different Colleges for Transfer (Page 9):
  Will honor the grading policy at the college at which the repeat was taken. If the college forgives the first
  attempt and it is so noted on the official transcript, the forgiveness will be honored. If the first attempt is not
  forgiven, the campus will calculate both attempts into the cumulative GPA.
• High Unit Majors with Authorized Exceptions to Admission & GE Breadth Requirements-Transfer Students (Page 11):
  - Engineering (Civil, Computer, Electrical and Electronic, Mechanical, Mechatronic).  These majors do not require completion of A3 before transfer.

     **Students must check the full details of the Orientation fees with CSUC.
• Registration Priorities for Upper Division Transfers (Page 12)

  The SIR and the required, nonrefundable enrollment deposit of $200 is due May 1.
• Transfer Certification & Double-Counting of Courses for Major Requirements (Page 8):
  - Some double-counting is permitted; subject to department approval.
  - CSUC will allow fully or partially certified transfer applicants to double count courses towards (1) the American Institutions Requirement, and (2) GE Certification (either GE Breadth or IGETC).
  - CSUC will accept a DD-214 for elective units for all students and to clear Area E for GE-certified transfer students.
• Transfer Credit Summary (Page 13):
  Upon receipt of all required transcripts and the “intent to enroll”, a transfer credit evaluation will be available online during the first semester of attendance.

  All transfer students are expected to complete the math/quantitative reasoning admission requirement prior
  to admission 

□ Transfer students who have completed the entire IGETC requirements will not be held for additional lower-division GE requirements but are required to complete the U.S. Diversity and Global Cultures requirements (if these courses were not taken within the IGETC certification program) and the U.S. History, Constitution, and American Ideals requirement (which cannot be included within the IGETC certification program).
