I have provided 14 SDSU Supplemental Application workshops since January 3rd, so I have a good idea regarding the mistakes students are most likely to make. Here is a list of the errors of omission:


Not double checking the CSU GE Breadth ("green sheet") to make sure every section in every GE area is checked off with a course title


Most likely sections missed are Laboratory and Lifelong Learning and Self Development


Not including courses you need and are enrolled in this spring semester


Other common errors include the following:
Clicking on more than one title for a single course (it's okay if the title is not exactly the same as the title of the course you completed)


Including courses that transfer but are not on the CSU GE Breadth ("green sheet"); English 110 (College Composition) is CSU transferable, but it does not meet the Written Communication requirement.


Indicating you fulfilled a Humanities requirement with a U.S. History course taken at GCCCD; U.S. History is used to fulfill the Social Sciences area only.


Not using the "Specify Course" option if you cannot find a title that is similar to a course you completed; Humanities 110, 12o and Religious Studies 140 are used as Arts courses at Grossmont College--you must specify how the course is used and provide the title , course number and when you completed the course.


If you have any questions about your CSU transferable GPA or the accuracy of your supplemental application , sign up for a workshop or come into the Transfer Center during our SDSU Supplemental Application review times.
