LEGEND/FAQ for Degree Progress Report

1. Beware of co-listed courses (the same course offered by multiple departments under different ID’s). Both will be listed in the list of courses that may be used to fulfill the requirement, but it will only count once toward meeting the requirement. (Examples: POLS405 is the same as HCSV435. POLS321 is the same as LAST321)

2. Courses are NOT removed from the Selections list even after completion.

3. “Upper Division” at Chico: Pre-Fall 2005: 100-299; Fall 2005 and after: 300-599.

4. “Senior Level” at Chico: Pre-Fall 2005: 200-299; Fall 2005 and after: 400-599.

5. “Graduate Level” at Chico: Pre-Fall 2005: 300-399; Fall 2005 and after: 500-699.

6. Letter grades are required for major/option/pattern, minor, or GE courses if offered that way.

7. Numeric grades from 000 to 400 represent a grade average. They are used when two or more transfer courses are equated to one or more Chico courses and the grades on the transfer courses are different. (Example: Math 4, 3 units, A + Math 5, 3 units, B might be equated to MATH 7A/120, 6 units, 350. 350 equals 3.50 grade point average.)

8. Codes to the right of course/units/grade indicates where/how the course was completed:
          a. EN Enrolled at Chico
          b. TR Transfer Credit
          c. TE Test Credit

9. “Fake” courses are placeholders and do not appear in the Chico Catalog. Many external courses are not directly equivalent to specific Chico courses, yet they can fulfill a particular area of GE, Cultural Diversity or even subject matter in a major or minor. The “equivalencies” are made by associating the external course to a fake Chico course. Examples:
          a. GNED B1 (meets GE B1: Physical Universe; does not have a lab)
          b. GNED B2L (meets GE B2: Life Science AND has a lab)
          c. UGED USHS (meets the US History graduation requirement)
          d. UGED NW (meets the cultural diversity non-western studies requirement)
          e. BIOL LDTR (is lower division and biology subject matter)
          f. UGED UDTR (is upper division, subject matter not specified.

10. Zero Units on some fake courses: If an external course was equated to multiple Chico courses, the “real” Chico course gets all the units and the “fake” Chico course often gets zero units. Example: ZOOL 1 (Zoology from Shasta) is equated to Chico’s BIOL 10/210. Chico’s course is not approved for GE while Shasta’s is. So we equate ZOOL 1 to BIOL 210 AND GNEDB2L so it can be used for both in GE as well as wherever our zoology class would be used. We give all the units to Chico’s BIOL210 and none to GNEDB2L (otherwise credit would be granted twice).

11. Term to the left side of a course references the term taken (in the case of Chico course) or the term the course work was posted to the Chico record (in the case of transfer courses or test credit).

a. Because transfer work taken over many terms can be posted to a single Chico term, it may appear that the same “fake” course is being used to fulfill multiple requirements. A student may have taken 3 different courses that meet our GNED C1 area, all during different terms. In this report, they would all appear with the same term and GNED C1 course ID. The units and/or grade earned may or may not be different.

12. “Unit” implies semester unit value

13. A course may count only once within the major/option/pattern, GE, or minor.

14. NOTE: Excess of 70 community college units will not be removed until after the 6th week of the term.
