CSUN transfer, 59 units, no summer coursework

<p>The whole situation can be summed up with those words above. I thought that I would have 60 units but it turns out that 1 unit is not transferable, so I'm one unit short now. I've already picked a class for summer school which will put me up to 62 transferable units, but the admission information says that no coursework from the summer will be considered.</p>

<p>Transfer</a> Student Admissions Criteria</p>

<p>Anyone have any ideas? I really want to start in the Fall, I can't wait until the Spring, maybe I can make an appeal or a petition to have them consider my summer class.</p>

<p>Any help would really be appreciated, I'm going to talk with my community college counselors again tomorrow.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, the Fall semester for 2013 is no longer accepting student application and the most of the CSU system doesn’t accept Spring transfers either. Some advice so you don’t have to go through what I did for the CSU system. Make sure u have ALL Golden 4 classes completed before you get there. Make sure the CRITICAL THINKING transfers over because that was the critical thing that happened to me, luckily I got it sorted out. Are you OOS? And you absolutely have to have 60 credits</p>

<p>I just checked the CSUN Spring 2014 admission. Right now it says TBD for all Spring 2014 applications, so POSSIBLY there’s a chance you can get in for Spring 2014…</p>

<p>You can take a course by credit by examination for 1 unit it can be the simplest course your college offers that’s CSU transferable like my college offers a student success class that just basically tells you a bunch of good study techniques and transfer things.</p>

<p>Or we have a Job interviews class for one credit lol but the point is that you can do that by a credit by examination get your 1 credit and go!</p>

<p>It’s not too late you could have the department dean approve a late SIR and be admitted.</p>

<p>I have the same problem OP, I ended up being confused on which courses were transferable and ended up being short 8 quarter units. </p>

<p>Matt, what is credit by examination?</p>

<p>It’s where you take a test demonstrating knowledge of a course for full class credit? Haha</p>

<p>So say I was short 8 credits. I could just “take a test demonstrating knowledge” of classes = to 8 credit units and I would be good?</p>

<p>Sometimes they’ll make an exception for summer classes. They did that for me for UCI. I was 1 unit short and I was taking a summer course. I let them know about my situation and I didn’t get rescinded.</p>

<p>CSUs usually won’t make exceptions for Summer courses, only UCs do that.</p>

<p>StudentTransfer: if you have excellent knowledge of (2) 3 unit courses and (1) 2 unit course then yes, and if you don’t pass the credit by examination no marks even go on your transcript. </p>

<p>Here’s from my college: • A student may challenge no more than 12 units(or 4 courses) under the Credit by Examination policy towards an Associate Degree or Certificate of Achievement, except that units awarded for AP, IB and CLEP examinations shall not be subject to such limit.</p>

<p>And it in no way effects your GPA it’s basically just credits of you need them and have knowledge of a class. But you cannot do it in a lower class that you already have credit for a higher class in that subject for example: you’ve already completed Poli-Sci MO3 and want to do Poli-Sci MO1 by Credit by Exam, that won’t work but if you wanted to do Poli-Sci MO5 you could.</p>

<p>Also they make you write a statement saying why you believe you should do that 2-3 sentences. Like you want credit for a cultural anthropology class because you took a couple sociology classes and they are very closely related.</p>

<p>Hope that helps!!!</p>
