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