Degree requirements in each major are listed under the appropriate department. For general information see Degrees and Credentials. Students will be assisted in planning their programs by academic advisers, but the primary responsibility for meeting requirements is the student's. Academic advisers will be assigned to each student before the orientation period. The current Schedule of Courses must be followed when planning a particular semester's program. RECOMMENDED PREPARATION Fre1hman Student1 Overall excellence of perfor:mance in high school subjects and evidence of academic potential provide the basis for admission at CSUF. While no high school course pattern is required, the applicant is strongly encouraged to include the following subjects as minimal. College preparatory English. Foreign language. College preparatory mathematics. College preparatory laboratory science. College preparatory history and/or social science. Study in speech, music, art, and other subjects contributing to general academic background. Since certain academic majors require high school preparation in definite subjects, the student should consult the requirements indicated in the field of his choice. In university majors such as engineering, natural science, mathematics, social science, and humanities a maximum number of high school credits should be obtained in appropriate subjects in English, mathematics, science, and foreign languages. Tranlfer Studenfl Students intending to transfer to CSUF should plan their programs while attending other colleges to meet CSUF curriculum requirements. The general education and major requirements should be studied to determine the appropriate sequences of courses necessary for the degree. Students transferring from a California community college should complete the general education requirements of that college for state university and college transfers and request that their general education program be certified to CSUF. After admission to CSUF, the students will receive a copy of their advanced standing evaluation indicating how previous college credits have been applied toward requirements at CSUF. Each student should maintain a personal folder in which he keeps his or her own copies of transcripts, grade reports, advanced standing evaluation, departmental check sheets, and other information pertaining to his progress toward meeting various requirements for a degree or credential. Faculty advisers are available for assistance; it is the responsibility of the student, however, to be sure that all requirements have been met. REGISTRATION Registration is open to new and returning students who have been formally admitted and to continuing students in good standing. Former CSUF students returning after an absence of one semester or more must apply for readmission, subject to university enrollment limitations and filing deadlines.
