I'm working on my CSU application and I've taken some classes at a community college. Does anyone know where exactly I should enter those courses? I want to make sure I'm doing this correctly. Thanks!
You need to include your community college coursework in the "Academic History" section of the CSU application. Here's an outline of the steps:
1. In "Academic History Section," select the "Colleges Attended" subsection.
2. Click the "Add a College" button. Enter the details of the community college you attended.
3. Then, navigate to the 'Transcript Entry' subsection. Click on 'Add a Transcript' and on the following pages, set the 'Academic Status' appropriately.
4. Input each of your community college classes precisely as they appear on your transcript, including the course title, code, units/credits, and the grade you received. If a course is in progress or planned, mark it as such.
It's crucial you enter the information accurately since inconsistent data can delay your application review. Also, keep in mind that you might need to send official transcripts from your community college to your target CSU campus(nes) as part of the verification process. Make sure to check each particular campus's official transcript policies.
