Where can I find help with Titan Degree Audit or transfer courses/units not appearing on my TDA?
The Office of Records and Registration generates the TDA and can answer these questions. If the issue is with a History course, you should first see a history advisor.

They are located in Langsdorf Hall (LH) 114 and they can be reached at (657) 278-7601. More information can also be found on the Records and Registration website.
If my TDA states that 110A and/or 110B have been waived for general education, do I still have to take them as a history major?
All History majors are required to take 110A and 110B either at CSUF or at a community college prior to transferring to CSUF, even if they have been waived for general education.
My TDA says I'm CSU general education certified, but my audit states that I still have general education courses to fulfill? Why?
All CSUF students must complete not only their lower division general education, which can be done at a community college, but also 9 units of upper division general education, which cannot be completed at a community college.
Can all courses from a junior college or community college be transferred toward ?
The History Department accepts 12 lower division units, 6 units of 110A and 110B, and 6 units of lower division US History. Community colleges only offer lower-division courses, whereas all the rest of the CSUF history units (besides the 12 units mentioned above) must be upper-division units/classes. Upper-division courses from four-year institutions can be transferred and count toward the upper-division requirements of our major.
What courses should I take for a career in teaching?
Please contact the Center for Careers in Teaching at (657) 278-7130, or visit their office (Humanities Building 113).

How do I know which courses meet the requirements of the major?

Paper copies of this information are also available outside of the History Department office (Humanities Building 815F).
Can a History Advisor or the Department Chair help me get into a course that is full?
Course permits cannot be issued for courses at maximum enrollment. If the course has seats available, it is up to the instructor's discretion if a permit can be issued. Please see the history department's website on permits for more information.
At my community college, if I stopped attending a course, I was automatically dropped with no penalty. Is that the case at CSUF?
No, if you do not attend a course without formally dropping it at CSUF you will receive a WU for the course. You will need to drop the course or formally withdraw from the course yourself.
