So, I’m trying to transfer to SJSU for Fall of 2016. I actually attended the school my freshman year and had some health issues so I went back home and went to a local school for a year. Anyways, like many freshman I had only taken 12 units per semester, leaving with 24. I wasn’t aware that I needed 60 units to go back until after I left. Of course, the Cal State Public System is not very reliable so I was told by someone in pre-admissions that as a returning student I didn’t need to make the 60 unit quota (now I’ve realized that’s not true) and only took 15 units this semester (fall 2015.) Now, knowing that I do in fact need 60 units, that means I have to TAKE 21 UNITS IN ONE SEMESTER, which sucks ass. But, I took AP European History and passed with a three. When I went to mysjsu account it listed the AP credit in my transfer report under “Test/Exam Credit.” It said it was good for 6 units! That means I’d only have to take 15 in spring 2016 instead of a killer 21. Can anyone confirm this. I’ve seen a lot of post about this in the UC section but not the Cal State System. I’ve called a bunch of different SJSU departments to make sure. But, like I said, sjsu faculty isn’t all that reliable and I’d hate to drop 2 of the 7 classes I’ve already enrolled in, only to find out that I did in fact need them to transfer.
TL;DR: Does AP Test Credit count towards the 60 unit transfer quota for CAL STATE schools, specifically San Jose State University. Does anyone have any experience with this particular situation?
