Crafton Hills College students can meet competency requirements for F1 and F2 with the same courses that meet requirements specified in AB 1985.

**This is the system-wide minimum, and some campuses may award more than the minimum. Please see CSU campus catalogs for further details. When course equivalents for these AP scores are noted on the transcript and used toward the Associate Degree for Transfer (AA-T or AS-T), the CSU campus shall accept the units awarded toward the lower division minimum and, if applicable, toward the minimum designation for the CSU major or CSUGE-Breadth requirements.  Where there is partial overlap, the amount of examination credit shall be reduced accordingly as determined by the CSU campus at which the student matriculates. Units listed under CSU GE and IGETC are the maximum allowed for certification per test in that area.

CSU and UC transfer credit, including for CSUGE and IGETC, is determined by the CSU and UC systems.
