Student FAQ
Yes, for students already enrolled at CSUMB. You should visit assist.org for more information and connect with your Academic Advisor to ensure the courses are included in your learning plan. Be aware that lower-division courses from a community college may not satisfy the same requirement as an upper-division course.
A grade of 'NC' or 'No Credit', means that you did not receive credit towards the completion of a course or assessment. Although this is a non-passing grade, it will not be included in the calculation of your Grade Point Average (GPA).
A grade of 'F' or 'WU' also means that you did not receive credit towards the completion of the course or assessment. However, 'F' and 'WU' (withdrawal unauthorized) marks are non-passing grades that are calculated into your GPA. Students who receive financial aid may be placed under financial aid probation or disqualification if a minimum number of required units are not passed during a designated academic term.
Although you cannot transfer in more units, you can still take classes to fulfill lower-division CSUMB requirements, such as language, political science, and ethnic studies. Please meet with your Academic Advisor to determine the best course of action.
If a course is waitlisted (indicated by a yellow triangle), click the "add to waitlist" button when adding the class to your shopping cart. If a course is closed (indicated by a blue square), you can add it to your shopping cart and keep track of its status. Another option is to send an email to the instructor expressing your interest in adding the course if a seat becomes available. If there is sufficient interest, the department may decide to open another section.
Please note that waitlists are always removed shortly before classes start. At that time, it's important to contact the instructor directly to request permission to add the course. If your request is approved, the instructor will provide a permission number or direct you to the appropriate contact for further assistance.
Remember, the add/drop period only occurs during the first two weeks of classes. It's important to finalize your class schedule within this timeframe, as adding a class after the add/drop deadline can be quite challenging.
