California State University
Policy Statement
92-10
October 21, 1992
GRADUATE TRANSFER UNITS BY EXTENSION At the option of
the college/school or department offering an advanced degree requiring
a total of 30 units, up to six units of approved extension/continuing
education or transfer credit may be used on a graduate student's
programs. At the option of the college/school or department offering
a graduate degree requiring a total of 30 units, this limit may
be raised to 9 units of extension/continuing education credit if
taken at CSULB. These limits may be increased further for graduate
degrees requiring more than 30 units, provided that (1) no graduate
degree may be awarded by CSULB unless at least 24 units are taken
in residence, and (2) no graduate student program may use either
extension/continuing education or transfer credit to satisfy the
requirement that at least 60 percent of the total units be taken
at the 500 and 600 levels. Extension courses completed at campuses
including California State University, Long Beach shall be acceptable
within the six-unit transfer limit, provided the work can be properly
evaluated and the course is acceptable as graduate work for an equivalent
graduate degree on the campus where taught. Extension/continuing
education and transfer course material shall be evaluated and approved
by CSULB faculty teaching in the topic area in conjunction with
the department graduate advisor and college/school dean or director
of graduate studies. Final approval/disapproval shall be the responsibility
of the Dean of Graduate Studies.
Effective: Spring 1993
