College Coursework

Review the instructions below very carefully. Failure to follow instructions will delay your admission decision and can ultimately impact your admission decision.

To complete this section accurately:

• Report all courses on your transcripts. Be sure to include courses from which you withdrew, repeated courses, ungraded labs, test credits, gym courses, orientations, or other non-graded courses.
• Use official copies of your transcripts. List your courses under the correct term, year, and class level. Department prefixes and course numbers must precisely match those on your transcripts.
• Enter courses under the institution where you originally took the course, exactly as they appear on the original school's transcript.
• Enter in-progress and planned coursework.
• It may take several tries to find your course, especially if it shares its name with others. Try typing the course code and scrolling through the course list.

After you enter transcript information for all colleges attended, you can review your calculated GPA on the right side. You can recalculate if you add additional courses after the initial calculation.

First-time Freshman Applicants: report all college coursework (A-G college preparatory and non-college preparatory) while enrolled in high school. Then, you must manually match A-G college courses with the appropriate A-G category in the A-G Matching section.

Lower-division, Upper-division, and Associate Degree for Transfer Applicants: report all courses completed at all colleges attended.

Transfer Applicants: to report courses with two different completion statuses (i.e., In Progress/Planned and Completed) within the same term, select Interim from the Term drop-down. This ensures your completed courses are included in your GPA.

Returning Applicants: if you are returning to the same CSU that you last attended and have not taken any college courses at another institution, select I Am Not Adding Any College Transcripts. If you have taken courses at another institution, enter the coursework for that institution. If you are applying to an additional campus as a new applicant, you must report all courses completed at all colleges attended.

Review the College Coursework section in the Applicant Help Center for more information, including details on Repeated Courses, Academic Renewal, and Advanced Placement (AP), CLEP, and International Baccalaureate (IB) tests that satisfy general education requirements.

If a Community College has given you credit for an AP, CLEP or IB test as a course, do not enter the course here. Enter it in the Standardized Tests section. For more details, review the External Exam Credit information.
