Credit for Noncollegiate Instruction
This university grants undergraduate degree credit appropriate to the baccalaureate degree for successful completion of
noncollegiate instruction, either military or civilian, that has been recommended by the Commission on Educational Credit
and Credentials of the American Council on Education. The number of units allowed are those recommended in A Guide to
the Evaluation of Educational Experience in the Armed Services and the National Guide to Educational Credit for Training
Programs.
Credit for Military Service Coursework
A lower-division elective credit is given for recruit training for initial entry into the service providing the student was on active
duty for at least one year and one day. Credit given varies depending on the branch of service and date of entry. An applicant
for credit must submit a copy of Notice of Separation (DD214) to the Evaluations Office.
DANTES (Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Educational Support) maintains the educational records of the servicemen
and women who have completed SSTs (Subject Standardized Tests), CLEP (College Level Examination Program)
examinations and GED tests. DANTES has also maintained USAFI (United States Armed Forces Institute) transcripts since
that organization ceased to exist in 1974.
College credit is awarded for acceptable SST scores as recommended by DANTES. Equivalency for SST credit is determined
by our departments. Other credits recommended by DANTES (CLEP, etc.) must meet university guidelines for the awarding
of credit for those examinations. DANTES/USAFI correspondence credit is combined with other extension or correspondence
coursework to a maximum of 24 semester units.
Additional credit is granted for military courses as recommended in A Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in
the Armed Services. A maximum of 30 units is allowed for military credit.
College Level Examination Program
The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) is designed to be a means through which recognition, academic credit, and
placement may be given for less conventional forms of educational experience. Those who may have reached a college level
of education through home or correspondence study, on-the-job training, television courses, or by other means may take the
CLEP examinations, which are offered by the College Entrance Examination Board. They are now offered only as computer-based
tests and are available through Testing Services on campus.
Within the restrictions of systemwide policy, this university awards up to 6 units of credit for successfully completed CLEP
examinations. Such credit is applied to the total units required for the baccalaureate degree, but it is not applied to the General
Education requirement. Not all CLEP examinations are acceptable under system policy. It is the responsibility of the student
to check with the appropriate department to determine whether it accepts CLEP credit. This should be done prior to taking the
CLEP exam.
Credits earned through CLEP are included among the maximum of 30 units of Credit by Examination that may be credited
toward a bachelor's degree. For additional information, call Testing Services,559.278.2457.
Upper-Division Writing Examination.
The UDWE is administered by the university and may be used to satisfy the upper-division writing skills requirement. One
unit of credit may be granted (ENGL 100W) to registered undergraduate students upon request. This unit may be applied
toward the 40 upper-division unit degree requirement and total units for the baccalaureate degree but cannot be applied toward
the 30 residence unit degree requirement or for postbaccalaureate credit. For details, call Testing Services,559.278.2457.
Intrasystem and Intersystem Enrollment Programs
Students enrolled at any CSU campus will have access to courses at other CSU campuses on a space available basis unless
those campuses/programs are impacted or desired programs/admission categories are closed. This access is offered without
students being required to be admitted formally to the host campus and sometimes without paying additional fees. Although
courses taken on any CSU campus will transfer to the student's home CSU campus as elective credit, students should consult
their home campus academic advisors to determine how such courses may apply to their degree programs before enrolling at
the host campus.
There are two programs for enrollment within the CSU and one for enrollment between CSU and the University of California
or California Community colleges. Additional information about these programs is available from Enrollment Services
559.278.2191.
• CSU Concurrent Enrollment matriculated students in good standing may enroll at both their home CSU campus and a
host CSU campus during the same term. Credit earned at the host campus is reported at the student's request to the home
