<p>Can someone please clarify to me the requirements to transfer from a community college to a CSU campus?</p>
<p>From what I understood, you must complete the General Education requirements and have 60 transferable units (including the GE) to be accepted into CSU.</p>
<p>I checked on CSUN's website, the GE requirements are 48. Also on assist.org.</p>
<p>But my community college's "General Education Certified Plan" is totaling 60. Again I thought that GE is 48 and 12 other units could be used for anything towards your major.</p>
<p>I also think I need to find a different counselor..</p>
<p>Of course always double check and verify information, but to be an upper-division transfer student to a CSU, you need 60 transferable units. I believe CSUN requires the upper-division status (which is separate from merely getting the GE done, which takes less units).</p>
<p>CCC counselors are notoriously terrible–I don’t know how it is that they are uniformly so bad at their job. Even if you find one that works hard for you and means the very best for you, they will still lack some basic info. One really needs to be their own fact-checker in the transfer process because I’m convinced the even the “best” CCC counselor simply can not know every detail to every transfer college out there.</p>
<p>60 units which must include GE’s for CSU and pre-reqs for major. You should be able to complete GE’s and pre-reqs for major with less than 60 units, in which you’ll need to take random classes that are transferable in order to reach 60 units.</p>
