Additional Information

To be eligible to transfer to a CSU campus, students must complete at least 90 units of CSU transferable courses with a GPA of 2.0 or better. Completion of the California State University General Education/Breadth curriculum (CSU GE) requirements as outlined satisfies the requirements of the Certificate of Achievement in Transfer Studies: CSU GE. Completion of the CSU General Education/Breadth pattern is also required for students pursuing an Associate Degree for Transfer (A.A.-T and/or A.S.-T). In addition to completing the courses for the Certificate of Achievement, the student is responsible for completing major preparation and/or elective credits to complete the 90 quarter units required for admission for all CSU campuses. Students can use assist.org to review major preparation courses and are strongly advised to see a counselor for educational planning in order to achieve successful admission to the university of their choice.

Note: Some universities also require students to submit a formal CSU GE certification form which is available through the Foothill College Evaluations Office prior to transfer. University deadlines are generally immediately following spring quarter; therefore, students should request the certification the week prior to finals during their last term at Foothill College.
