SCHEDULE OF CLASSES AND EXPLANATION OF CODE

All class schedule entries are subject to change without prior notice. Any added class offerings will be reflected in the online class schedule. Cancelled classes will be deleted from the online class schedule and any student enrolled in a class which must be cancelled will receive an email notification at their CSUF email address. The faculty member shown in the "faculty" column of this class listing is a tentative assignment, depending on schedule adjustments required by circ*mstances during registration.

CLASS NOTES

Some classes have prerequisites, while others require permission of the department or an instructor as noted under "Class notes".

If you are selecting one of these courses, be sure that you have met the prerequisites or have obtained the required permission. The fact that you may be scheduled for such a class does not imply that permission to enroll has been granted.

TITAN SCHEDULER

Students can now plan their schedule from anywhere with TITAN Scheduler! Students will be able to find the best schedule with streamlined class searches, visual schedule previewing, side by side comparisons and flexibility around planned breaks. Students can bring multiple schedules up side-by-side and compare options. The schedule planner provides a "Breaks" feature to allow students to block off times they are unable to take class, such as for jobs or athletics. Advisors can now focus on which courses students need to take, rather than the individual times in which to take them, alleviating advisors of tedious scheduling for students. There is a video tutorial in Titan Online as well as additional "help" resources available within TITAN Scheduler. Please note that class schedule information will be available in Titan Scheduler when the schedule is formally released to the campus and will not be available prior to that. Students need to simply access the TITAN Scheduler link from their Portal to begin optimizing their schedule today!

GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS

General Education courses are required at CSUF as a necessary and integral part of your University education.
They are the foundation on which each and every major is built, and have been specifically designed to provide exposure to current thinking and scholarship. Students' success in the global socio-economic climate will be determined by the ability to research, analyze, and apply universally accepted principles in areas beyond those learned in their majors. These courses serve as the stepping stones to a lifetime of personal, professional, and academic growth.

MATH GE REQUIREMENTS FOR AY 2023-24

All incoming freshmen are required to take a class that meets the Math GE requirement (B.4) during their first year. Furthermore, incoming freshmen in the following majors must complete the GE B.4 requirement by enrolling in a specific GE math class that is part of their academic major or minor during their first semester:

In order to ensure that students with specific major- related math requirements are able to progress through their degrees in a timely manner, enrollments during New Student Orientation in Math 115 – College Algebra and Math 125 – Precalculus will be restricted to the majors listed in the following table:

Although Kinesiology and Public Health majors are not required to take a Math GE class in their first semester, they will be allowed to register in Math 115 or Math 125 during New Student Orientation. Once New Student Orientation is complete, the restrictions will be lifted and any remaining seats will be open to students from all majors.
