If completing requirements in Fall semester . . . . . . . . . apply by October 1st Attendance at a Quarter Unit School Courses completed at a college or university on a quarter system must be a minimum of 4 quarter units. Quar- ter units do not convert straight across into semester units. They are equivalent to two-thirds of semester units. Due to the varying policies in the acceptance of foreign transcripts, military schooling, and CLEP scores, the determination regarding their use is left to the transfer institution. Full vs. Partial Certification Receiving a full certification means that every area has been fulfilled by meeting the minimum unit and course requirements.
Partial certification is granted for any area that has been met with minimum units and courses.
Certification will print at the top of your transcript, indicating each area as met or deficient, the total number of units certified, and the date.
