 Using Upper-Division Credits to meet Lower-Division Requirements Some CSU campuses have honored CCC certifications that use upper-division coursework (though not in policy) Using upper-division GE courses to satisfy lower-division requirements may cause student to have to take additional course to satisfy upper- division requirement after transfer EO 595: Lower-division coursework is to be used to meet Lower-division GE requirements (EO 595, Section VIII, C1)

 Using Upper-Division Credits to meet Lower-Division Requirements CSU recommends consulting with CSU receiving campus to discuss how upper-division course will count Ultimately, the CSU campus may change the certification, applying coursework to a different area

 Course Content - no remedial courses - expand skills and knowledge beyond entry expectations - critical thinking, application of concepts - more rigorous pace & content than high school courses - develops college-level communication skills - more theory and concepts than technical skills and professional prep  Institutional Issues - campus ensures that all requirements for appropriate study are met  Pedagogy - student-faculty interaction supports learning outcomes - evaluation of student performance: entry vs. exit Baccalaureate-Level Courses
