California State University General Education Certificate of Achievement
A certificate of achievement will be granted to students who complete a minimum of 39 units from areas A through E of the CSU general education requirements. CSU GE requirements are designed to be taken within a major area of concentration and elective courses in preparation for transfer to the California State University.*
To receive this Certificate of Achievement, students should:
- Review the CSU GE Breadth pattern sheet in this catalog or available from the Counseling Center,
- Consult with a counselor to ensure students understand and are following all requirements.
- Receive a grade of C- or better in classes taken in Areas A1, A2, A3 and B4.
- Verify through their counselor and www.assist.org that classes taken are approved for CSU GE the semester they are taken.
- Complete at least 3 units in residency at Fullerton College.
Note: Students who receive the CSU GE Certificate of Achievement do not need to request separate GE Certification; it will automatically granted and indicated on their transcript if all requirements are met. Note: Completion of the CSU GE Breadth requirements alone is not enough to make students eligible for admission to a CSU. *Following the CSU GE pattern may not always be the best option for students, especially those transferring to highly impacted majors in the CSU system. Please consult with a counselor for details on completing all transfer admission requirements or using course work from other institutions.
PROGRAM CODE: 2C36510
The California State University General Education (CSU GE Breadth) Certificate of Achievement allows the student to complete Certification of General Education Requirements for the California State University (CSU) system. To meet general education requirements and obtain certification, students must complete the pattern of courses in the categories listed. Certification is not automatic. Students must apply for GE certification through the Admissions and Records Office by the published deadline during the semester in which requirements will be completed or thereafter. The course must be on the current CSU GE-Breadth list when it is taken in order to be used to meet a requirement. Students should refer to the Fullerton College CSU GE-Breadth Certification List on www.assist.org to verify that a course was valid during the semester when it was taken. A course or sequence of courses used to satisfy a requirement in one area may not be used to satisfy a requirement in another area. Some universities will not allow students to count courses in their major field as part of general education. Students should check with a counselor and review the university catalog for further clarification. This certificate requires 40-55 units in courses from the areas listed below.
For CSU GE Certification: AREA A1, A2, A3 and B4 must have grades of C or better.
