Will my courses transfer?
Generally speaking, baccalaureate-level courses from accredited institutions do transfer. Check out the ASSIST Web site to see what your California community college coursework transfers to at CSUSB. Another way to determine whether a course is transferable is where the course falls into the numbering system for transfer courses at your community college.
If you are transferring from another accredited university, we will use all of the units that would count toward a bachelor’s degree. Your transferable units will be determined and placed by the Office of Records, Registration & Evaluations after you have been admitted to Cal State San Bernardino.
When should I transfer?
If you are already attending a community college or another university, please note Cal State San Bernardino will only accept upper division transfer students. This means you must be fully eligible as an upper division transfer student by the first day of the term you are applying for at Cal State San Bernardino. Lower division transfer students, or those with fewer than 60 transferable semester units, will not be admitted to Cal State San Bernardino.
What will my transfer status be?
The number of transferable units you have earned from an accredited community college or university prior to the quarter that you are applying for determines your transfer status. Priority filing for fall begins in October of the preceding year. You may apply as an upper division transfer student as early as October of 2009 for fall 2010 as long as you complete 60 transferable units by September 2010.
Applicants who have earned fewer than 60 transferable semester or 90 quarter units are considered lower division transfer students and will not be admitted to Cal State San Bernardino beginning fall 2010.
Upper division transfer students
You are eligible for admission as an upper division transfer applicant when you:
- have earned at least 60 transferable semester or 90 transferable quarter units. California residents must have a transferable grade-point average of 2.0 (“C”) or better. (If you are not a California resident, your transferable grade-point average must be 2.4 or better.)
- have completed the four basic skills with a grade of “C” or better including: English composition, oral communication, critical thinking and college math equivalents.
- have completed or will complete at least 30 semester units or 45 quarter units of courses in the general education requirements with a grade of “C” or better.
- are eligible to enroll at the last institution you attended.
