institutions with an official evaluation
of how this coursework applies to:
- Associate degrees and certificates at Cuyamaca College.
- CSU GE Certification for students transferring to a California State University campus

transcript evaluation request.

only
be used to satisfy major requirements with the approval of the department on a
