Pass/No Pass for CSU transfer Requirements?

So I applied for transfer to San Francisco State, San Diego State, CSU Long Beach, and Cal Poly. I decided to take the oral communications class as pass/no pass, and I want to find the rules on how many units and which classes I can take pass/no pass? Will taking a Golden Four as pass/no pass affect my chances of transfer admission?

My understanding is that you need to take all Golden Four courses for a letter grade (C- or higher) to be eligible for Transfer.

my understanding is the same - but, call the schools directly to confirm.
