Students who are looking to transfer to San Diego State University must follow the San Diego State University tag, which is an agreement that allows students who have followed all of the procedures to be able to transfer. These students have priority transfer, which means they can achieve their academic goals at a faster pace. After students follow the tag, there are four steps to transferring wisely:

#1. Golden Courses

Starting off, each student must do the Golden Courses, which include Oral Communication, Written Communication, Critical Thinking and Mathematics and Quantitative Reasoning. The four courses that are listed above must be passed with a C letter grade or better.

#2. GPA Requirements

Each major that a student is pursuing has a different grade GPA requirement. Students can visit the SDSU admissions website and check for their own major. Students have to have an equivalent or higher GPA than the one listed next to their desired major. The website also shows the type of degree for every individual major a student can receive.

#3. Gen-Ed Requirements

Each student has to complete his or her General Education requirements. For a list of requirements, students can go to the SDSU catalog. Students have to complete the 60 minimum requirements.
 

#4. Homework

Students need to make appointments with their counselors to see if they are in the right track into transferring, and students must research the school to which they’re applying for transfer, SDSU or not. The more information you have, the better.
