In addition to satisfying UC admission requirements, transfer students must fulfill additional requirements before graduating. Some, such as the American history and institutions requirement and the entry-level writing requirement, are UC-wide. Other requirements – such as major preparation and general education – vary by campus and by major.
Nonresidents
The minimum admission requirements for nonresidents are very similar to those for residents. Transfer students who are not California residents may consult with the admissions office at a UC campus to confirm admission requirements. In all cases, however, nonresidents must have a grade point average of 2.8 or higher in all transferable college coursework.
TRANSFER TO
THE CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY
The California State University (CSU) system gives priority admission consideration to California community college students who meet the CSU upper- division transfer admission requirements. However, the highest admission priority is given to California community college students who have earned an Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT). California community college students will be considered as having achieved junior class level standing once they have completed an ADT or at least 90 quarter (60 semester) CSU-transferable level units that meet their lower-division major requirements.
While at De Anza and prior to applying to the CSU, students are advised to research campus catalogs and websites, contact CSU campus admissions offices, and consult with a counselor or academic adviser to confirm appropriate course selection for admission. For more information about a specific CSU campus, consult the university’s general catalog. Comprehensive information about the CSU system and campuses is posted online at www2.calstate. edu/apply/transfer.
The following information was obtained from the CSU Admission Handbook. De Anza is not responsible for any changes CSU may make to this information after publication of this catalog.
Upper-Division Transfer Admission Requirements
To qualify for admission as an upper-division transfer, applicants must complete 90 or more quarter CSU-transferable units (60 or more semester units) and have met the following requirements
■ Completed at least 45 quarter units (30 semester units) of general education courses. Applicants
may visit www.assist.org for a full listing of courses at each California community college that meet CSU general education requirements
■ Completed transferable courses (CSU GE Category A) in written communication, oral communication and critical thinking with grades of C- or better
■ Completed one transferable course (CSU GE Area B4) in mathematics or quantitative reasoning with a grade of C- or better
■ Achieved a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or better in all CSU- transferable college units attempted
■ Be in good standing (eligible to re- enroll) at the last college or university attended
Lower-Division Transfer Admission Requirements
An applicant who completes fewer than 90 quarter units (60 semester units) of college credit is considered a lower-division transfer student. Due to enrollment pressures, most CSU campuses do not admit lower-division transfers so that more upper-division transfers can be accommodated.
Having fewer than 90 quarter units (60 semester units) at the point of transfer may affect eligibility for registration priority at CSU campuses and may affect the student’s financial aid status.
California resident transfer applicants with fewer than 90 quarter units (60 semester units) must:
■ Have a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 (C) or better in all transferable units attempted
■ Have completed, with a grade of
C- or better, a course in written communication and a course
in mathematics or quantitative reasoning at a level satisfying CSU General Education Breadth Areas A2 and B4 requirements, respectively
■ Be in good standing at the last
institution attended
Meet one of the following eligibility standards:
o Transfer Based on Current
Admission Criteria
Meet the freshman admission requirements in effect for the term for which application is filed;
– OR –
o Transfer Based on High School Eligibility
Was eligible as a freshman at the time of high school graduation and has been in continuous attendance in an accredited college since high school graduation;
– OR –
o Transfer Based on Making Up Missing Subjects:
Had a qualifiable eligibility index at the time of high school graduation (combination of
GPA and test scores if needed), has made up any missing college preparatory subject requirements with a grade of C- or better, and has been in continuous attendance in an accredited college since high school graduation
One baccalaureate level course of at least 4 quarter units (3 semester units) is usually considered equivalent to one year of high school study.
(NOTE: Due to enrollment pressures, most CSU campuses do not admit lower- division transfers. Some campuses may require lower-division transfer students to complete specific college coursework, such as the four basic skills courses, as part of their admission criteria.)
Many CSU campuses have impacted majors while several CSU campuses are impacted in all majors. Students interested in an impacted major or campus must apply for admission during the initial application filing period. Applications for admission to impacted majors and campuses are not accepted after the initial filing period. Consideration for admission to any impacted major or campus is contingent on first meeting the regular admission requirements for the CSU. As a result of impaction, completion of the minimum
