The most accurate and official curriculum information can be found in the catalog. Make sure you are searching for the catalog year for your curriculum. This is normally the year when you joined CSULA.

To check the official agreements between CSULA and other institutions, visit www.assist.org. If you think a course should give you credit at CSULA but you are not receiving that credit or it isn't listed in assist.org, contact an advisor. If your transfer credit for a pre-requisite course has not been processed correctly and that is preventing you from registering for a class, use this form or contact an advisor.
