9. GE Certification  Community college certification does not guarantee that all CSU campus admission requirements have been met.  Our campus will not take courses that are not approved to meet a certain area. For Example:  ECON 209 is not an approved course to satisfy area B4 according to the CSULA School Catalog.  It is our campus responsibility to verify certain courses in fact can be used for certain areas especially the Golden Four.  EO 1065 states that a participating institution may certify completion of courses or examinations taken at other eligible institutions, provided that all such courses and examinations would be identified for certification purposes by the institution offering them.
