I. OVERLAP BETWEEN GENERAL EDUCATION (GE) AND MAJOR/MINOR CLASSES
A.	A maximum of six units of lower division courses from your major department may also be applied to the General Education requirements. No upper division coursework from your major department may be applied to the nine unit upper division requirement in General Education (even if the courses are not credited toward major requirements.)* At CSUS, lower division courses are numbered 1-99; upper division courses are numbered 100-199. For Business Administration majors, substitute “School of Business” for “major department.” For Social Science majors, substitute “History” for “major department.”
B.	There is no restriction to the number of courses (either upper or lower division) that may overlap between minor requirements and General Education. * Note: The overlap policy is slightly different for students whose catalog rights begin prior to Fall 1992. For more information, contact the Academic Advising Center (LSN-1012, 278-6351) or visit our website at http://www.csus.edu/acad/faq/ovrlp.htm

	Courses listed in General Education are subject to change, as new courses are approved and others are deleted. Only courses appearing in the “GE Pattern List” are approved for General Education credit.
III. CREDIT/NO CREDIT GRADING (CR/NC)
	Courses taken at CSUS on the CR/NC grading option may not be used to satisfy General Education requirements.
