CSU Transfer Requirements for Fullerton College?

I'm a student at Fullerton College and planning to transfer to CSU. What are the specific transfer requirements I need to meet? Any tips on how to make sure I’m on the right track?

The California State University (CSU) system does have general requirements for transfer, and CSU Fullerton will also have its specific criteria. Below, I’ll provide some of the general and specific requirements.

General CSU transfer requirements:

1. You must have a GPA of at least 2.0; some campuses and majors might require a higher GPA.

2. Complete with grades of C or better in the "Golden Four" courses, which cover Oral Communication, Written Communication, Critical Thinking, and Quantitative Reasoning. Note that some majors may require grades higher than C in these courses.

3. You must have completed or be enrolled in a minimum of 60 CSU-transferable semester units (or 90 quarter units).

For CSU Fullerton, you should check for campus-specific admission requirements and deadlines on their website or by contacting their admissions department directly. As part of your planning and preparation, make sure to fill out a Student Education Plan (SEP) with your academic counselor at Fullerton College - this will help outline the courses you need to take for transfer.

Additionally, you should consider using Assist.org – an online student-transfer information system – that can help you determine if your coursework satisfies the lower-division requirements for your intended major at CSU Fullerton. Also, take advantage of the Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) available for many CSU campuses.

While these are the academic requirements, remember that other factors can also play a role in your acceptance, like your personal statement or extracurricular activities. Always be sure to double-check the most recent requirements with the specific CSU campus you're interested in, as these can sometimes change.
