Credit Information

Discipline — The heading under which classes are listed, i.e., Anthropology, Art, etc., indicates the academic department that has approved the courses and the discipline in which credit is granted. In some instances, courses are cross-referenced to other disciplines but credit is allowed only in the department carrying the detailed listing.

Credit Value — The value is in quarter units. Where the designation CEU is included, see here for explanation. Where no figure is given, the course is noncredit.

Semester-Unit/Quarter-Unit Conversion — University Extension uses the following table:

5 quarter units=3 1/3 semester units
4 quarter units=2 2/3 semester units
3 quarter units= 2 semester units
2 quarter units=1 1/3 semester units
1 quarter unit=2/3 semester unit

Transferring Credit — While requirements vary from program to program, generally, some coursework taken at other accredited institutions may be transferred into certificate or sequenced course programs, if it is equivalent in content and value. All transfer requests must be in writing and must include official transcripts. All coursework and units accepted for transfer are subject to the approval of the academic director of the department offering the program.
