Transfer Courses
All courses numbered 100 or higher are transferable to the California State
Universities (CSU). Courses that are transferable to the University of
California are designated 'UC.' Some of these courses have limits on the amount
of credit that is granted. See the UC Transferable Course List available in the
Counseling Center or Transfer Center for these limitations. Courses that are
non-credit or not AA degree applicable are designated with the letter 'N'
preceding the course number. Identification of courses that have been accepted
into the California Articulation Number (CAN) system appears after the course
title.

| MATHEMATICS |
Competence in arithmetic is expected for students enrolling in all mathematics courses. The passing of a placement test is required in most mathematics courses. A grade of ‘C’ or better is required in prerequisite courses.
Courses marked with an * are offered in both conventional and self-paced sections. In self-paced sections, students may start anytime and complete at their own rate.
In all mathematics courses except Mathematics 021 and Business 125, students other than majors in mathematics, engineering and physical sciences will have the option of credit-no credit or grade. Credit in mathematics courses means ‘C’ performance or better.
Students who have had a lapse in the mathematics sequence of two years or more are strongly advised to retake the previous mathematics course (excluding plane geometry) before continuing in the mathematics sequence.
