Prior to fall 2000, community college students may be admitted to the CSU on the basis of completion of the high school 15-unit college preparatory pattern. Beginning fall 2000, however, students attending a community college must establish eligibility based upon community college work and can no longer use high school preparation to establish eligibility. Students with fewer than 56 transferable units from the community college are considered lower division transfer students. You may transfer if you met the mathematics requirement in high school. If not, you must complete the requirement at the community college before transferring.
Students can attend the university and the community college simultaneously.
Transfer students who don't complete their GE coursework and certification at the community college prior to transferring run the risk of additional university GE unit requirements.
