If no GE checklist is online, make an appointment for an unofficial GE checklist at the Student Advising Center or wait for the Evaluation Department to send you an official one. 4. Do I have to take the Writing Skills Test? Yes, only in rare cases has the WST been waived. 5. What happen to me if I don’t pass the WST? You will not be able to take Advanced GE courses. If you fail the WST twice, you must take LLD 98 or 99. 6. What are Advanced GE courses? Advanced GE courses are additional GE classes you have to take after you pass the Writing Skills Test (WST). Students must have sixty units in order to take Advanced GE courses. Please note that Area Z is for major courses and you should check with your major department. 7. How do I know if my classes are transferable from a community college? Consult the articulation website or speak with a General Education and/or Major advisor. 8.

I took History 15AB and it counted for the GE categories D2, D3, and F123 that satisfies graduation requirements. My English 1B class at a community college counted in the Critical Thinking area. Can I use it for A3 and C3? Units can only be counted 1 time. 10. I have a lot of trouble in Math and English. Should I take these classes at the community college over the summer? See Susan McClory , the Math Coordinator at mcclory@math.sjsu.edu for information regarding Math classes over summer. 11. Is a C- considered passing? Yes, however, if the course is a prerequisite or a major course you need to consult a major advisor for approval. Also, General Education courses in area A1, A2, A3 and B4 must be completed with a C grade or higher. 12. Can I take courses from my major and apply them to GE categories even though the courses are not on the GE list? No, you can only take GE courses listed in current Schedule of Classes |
