Academic Policies & Student Conduct

Applying Credit to a CSUN Degree

The Open University program is designed to allow nonmatriculated students (those who are not formally admitted into a degree program at CSUN) to enroll in academic-credit courses in the Fall and Spring semesters, and apply those credits to a CSUN Degree, without formal application and admission to the university.

Nonmatriculated students wishing to apply academic credits towards a bachelor’s degree, master’s degree, credential, or graduate certificate program are, however, limited to the number of academic credit units they can transfer.

Applying Credit to a Bachelor’s Degree:

Nonmatriculated students are eligible to apply up to 24 units of academic credit towards a bachelor’s degree at CSUN.

Applying Credit to a Master’s Degree, Credential, Or Graduate Credit Certificate Program:

Nonmatriculated students are eligible to apply up to 9 units of academic credit towards a master’s degree, credential, or graduate credit certificate program.

Please Note: In all cases, the department chair responsible for the program in question will determine which, if any, courses taken by a non-matriculated student can and should apply to a particular degree/credential/certificate program.
