What is a Major & Minor

Majors and Minors are focused areas of study that require students to take a specific set of courses that lead to a comprehensive understanding of a particular subject matter.

Completion of a major is a graduation requirement; where as a minor does not require as many units, and is not a graduation requirment (however, at SF State, only the Journalism major requires a minor to earn a bachelor's degree).

At SF State there are over 100 undergraduate majors and minors. Choosing a major involves declaring this choice at the time of admission or consulting with faculty advisors and then submitting a request through your Student center. Choosing a minor is not necessary for admissions, and is optional (paper requests are available for plans that are not online).

Impacted Majors

Impacted majors have more students than can be accommodated declare these areas of study as their majors. Both lower and upper division students requesting a change of major to an impacted program must meet the supplemental requirements required for that major. For more details visit SF State's Bulletin.

Lower-Division Students | Non-Impacted Majors

Department must accept changes of major for continuing lower-division students who have a minimum 2.0 GPA, and a minimum grade of C in specified pre-requisite courses.

Upper-Division Students | Non-Impacted Majors

Department may determine the number of units that must be completed with a minimum grade of C for the upper-division student to declare their major or a department may specify (normally lower division) courses that must be completed with minimum grades of C for the upper-division student to declared. The department may not limit enrollment in such courses to majors only.

Undeclared Majors

Typically, students declare their major during their sophomore year after completing most of their lower-division General Education requirements. Lower-division students who are undecided about their major may identify themselves as undeclared.

Students who are uncertain of their major choice should identify themselves as undeclared. Advising and tools are offered specifically to target undeclared students to help them explore and decide on a major. Students should declare as early as possible to stay on track for graduation. Students who enter as a freshman must declare a major by the time they complete 70 units.

Second Majors

Students can add a second major or minor, but only one request can be reviewed at a time.

Upper-Division General Education - 9 Units Minimum

General Requirements

Students must:

1. Meet all prerequisites before enrollment in upper-division General Education courses. Minimally, all of these courses have a prerequisite of Oral Communication (A1), Written Communication (A2), Critical Thinking (A3), and Mathematics/Quantitative reasoning (B4). Academic departments may choose to include additional prerequisites.

2. Complete the equivalent of at least one 3-unit course in each of the three domains of knowledge: Physical/Life Sciences (UD-B), Arts/Humanities (UD-C), and Social Sciences (UD-D).

3. Complete at least 9 units of upper-division General Education coursework in residence at SF State.

Note: Although it will be possible to take upper-division General Education courses after the completion of A1, A2, A3, B4, and any other departmental prerequisites, in most cases, upper-division General Education courses are still designed and recommended to be taken after completing 60-semester units.

Students studying abroad through the CSU can petition to have appropriate courses taken abroad count for upper-division GE. These students should consult with the Study Abroad Office and with the Undergraduate Advising Center to get assistance in choosing appropriate classes to meet the required domains of knowledge and to complete the petition process upon their return.

AP - IB - CLEP Test Credit
Students Entering SF State Prior to Fall 2014

Continuing students who were enrolled at SF State prior to fall 2014 follow the General Education program that was in effect when they came to SF State, with a few modifications. Please visit the Division of Undergraduate Education and Academic Planning for more information about your General Education requirements and approved courses.

Freshman Students

Students who begin at SF State as first-time college students in fall 2014 or later, must complete General Education as outlined below.

Transfer Students

Transfer students who begin at SF State in fall 2014 or later may complete the 39 units of lower-division General Education (GE) requirements (Area A-E), as well as lower-division requirements in a major, minor, or certificate program at another campus if those units have been approved through an articulation agreement or an approved evaluation process. Regardless of the number of units a student took to fulfill General Education requirements at other schools, to graduate they must complete a total of 39 units of lower-division General Education plus 9 units of upper-division GE coursework. Any lower-division GE coursework not taken in transfer must be taken at SF State from the list of courses below.

Transfer students who have completed Area D but who have not completed the US History and Government requirements must do so at SF State (Refer to US History and Government Requirement).

Transfer students who complete the US History and Government requirements without completing 9 units in Area D must take additional Area D courses to total 9 units.

Transfer students must complete 9 units of lower-division Area C coursework with at least one Area C1 and one Area C2 course.

Transfer students must complete SF State Studies requirements. Most, if not all, of these requirements will be completed while satisfying the Upper-Division GE requirements. Students transferring with a verified ADT (AA-T or AS-T degree) who are pursuing a "similar" major do not have to complete the SF State Studies requirements. Visit our Transfer Students page for more information about procedures and guidelines regarding the Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT).

Guide: How to Change Grading Options (CR/NC)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
You can choose whether to take a class on a letter-graded, CR/NC, or other grading basis.

These instructions walk you through how to tell what grading options are available for each class, and how to make a grading option changes in your Student Center. To audit a class (taking a class on a non-credit basis), submit the Waiver of College Regulations form.
NOT ALL CLASSES HAVE MULTIPLE GRADING OPTIONS. Always confirm that any class taken CR/NC or for a CR grade will still meet your degree requirements and needed prerequisites. Take advantage of resources to help you decide what Grading Option best meets your needs.

It's important to be sure that any class taken CR/NC will still meet your degree requirements and needed prerequisites. Some programs will only accept letter graded coursework to meet certain degree requirements. For undergraduate students, a maximum of 24 CR grade units earned at SFSU can count toward your degree. Furthermore, some programs require minimum letter grades earned to meet prerequisites that will allow you to enroll in subsequent coursework.

Advisors can help make sure your grading option meets your educational needs and goals. Undergraduate students can access advising resources through the Advising Hub. Graduate students can access advising resources with Graduate Studies (gradadv@sfsu.edu).

If you are a student in one of the groups below, please consult with these offices to be sure you understand the impacts of your choices:

If you decide to do so, the following information might be helpful

How can I see what grading option is currently selected for my classes? You can view the grading option you are currently enrolled in for each of your courses in the Class Schedule section of your Student Center. If you do not want to change the current grading option selected for any of your classes, you do not need to take any action.

During the first three weeks of instruction, withdrawing from courses is permitted without restriction or academic penalty - commonly referred to as " dropping a class." Dropped courses do not appear on your academic transcript, do not count toward your attempted units for a given term, and do not count toward the Undergraduate Withdrawal Limit. Please refer to the Dates & Deadlines page on the Registrar's website for specific drop deadlines.

At SF State, dropping a course is the student's responsibility. However, faculty are authorized to instructor-drop students who do not attend the first class meeting, who do not meet the course criteria, or who do not participate in the course as required during the drop period.
To drop a class:

1. Use self-service registration in your Student Center before the end of the third week of instruction.

2. Dropped courses will no longer appear on your transcript.

During the fourth through twelfth week of instruction, students may request to withdraw from courses for serious and compelling reasons, as specified by the student. Such withdrawals require approval from the instructor and the chairperson of the department offering the class. If your request is approved, you will receive a W on your transcript for the class, indicating that you attempted the class but withdrew before completing it for a letter grade. W grades are not included in your GPA.

Undergraduates may withdraw from a maximum of 18 units throughout their entire SF State undergraduate career (see Grading Policy). Be aware that withdrawing from one or more classes may negatively affect your financial aid (your Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) and your financial aid eligibility).
To request to withdraw, you will need to:

1. Complete the online request to withdraw in your Student Center to withdraw from one or more classes. (See "Request to Withdraw.") Undergraduates who have reached the maximum unit limit to withdraw will not be able to submit a request.

2. Provide a serious and compelling reason in the online request form.

3. Your request will be routed to the appropriate approvers. You can check the status by returning to your request in the Student Center. You will also receive an email notification with the final decision.

4. Continue participating in the class until your request is approved.

5. If your request is approved, you will receive a W on your transcript.

6. If your request to withdraw is not approved, you must initiate the Incomplete process, if applicable, or complete the class(es). If you cease attending class, you may be assigned a WU or F (a WU is treated as an F for GPA calculation).

From the thirteenth week through the last week of instruction, students may only request to withdraw in cases, such as accident or serious illness, where the cause of withdrawal is due to circumstances clearly beyond the student's control and the assignment of an Incomplete is not practicable. Such requests require documentation, as well as approval from the instructor, the chairperson of the department offering the class, and the Dean of Undergraduate Education and Academic Planning.

Requests to withdraw approved under this criterion during the final 3 weeks of the term will not count against the undergraduate withdrawal limit of 18 semester-units.

To request to withdraw during the final 3 weeks, you will need to:

1. Complete the online request to withdraw. (See "Request to Withdrawal.")

2. Provide a serious and compelling reason in the online request form and upload thorough and credible documentation supporting circumstances clearly beyond your control such as accident or serious illness preventing completion of the course or the assignment of an Incomplete.

3. Your request will be routed to the appropriate approvers. You can check the status by returning to your request in the Student Center. You will also receive an email notification with the final decision.

4. Continue participating in class until your request is approved.

5. If approved, a symbol of WM will be assigned. WM grades are not included in your GPA and will not count toward the undergraduate repeat limit. Your transcript will reflect a W as the WM is for internal purposes only.

6. If your request to withdraw is not approved, you must work with your instructor to see if an Incomplete is appropriate or complete the class(es). If you cease attending class, you may be assigned a WU or F (a WU is treated as an F for GPA calculation).

What happens if I submit my request to withdraw during weeks 4 through 12, but it doesn't get reviewed until after the thirteenth week of class? Will I need to submit a new request form for a withdrawal due to circumstances clearly beyond my control?
No. Your request is approved or denied based on the date you submitted the request, not on the date it is reviewed.

D o I need to submit documentation during weeks 4 through 12?

Submitting documentation this period is optional. If you feel it will assist your instructor and department chair in their review, you may do so. A short description in the text box is normally enough during this period.
Why do I need to submit documentation during the final three weeks?
When you submit a request to withdraw during the final three weeks of instruction (or during the corresponding withdrawal periods for winter and summer terms), you will be required to upload documentation which clearly demonstrates serious and extenuating circumstances beyond your control, such as illness or accident, that prevent you from continuing in your classes. Documentation must be thorough and credible. Poor academic performance, lack of attendance, and desire to avoid a low grade are not considered compelling reasons for withdrawal.
How long will it take for my request to be approved or denied?
Requests will be reviewed as soon as possible. You can check the status of your request in the online system. Be aware that it can take 5 to 7 business days especially during the final three weeks of the semester due to the criteria and process.
Who reviews my request to withdraw?
Your request must be approved by your course instructor and the department chair for the course. If you submit your request during the final three weeks of class, it will additionally need to be approved by the Dean of Undergraduate Education and Academic Planning.
Why was my request to withdraw denied?
The reason for the denial will be available online by returning to your request in the Student Center in Campus Solutions (CS).
Why isn't there a checkbox next to the class I want to withdraw from?
A checkbox will not appear next to a class if you have already submitted a withdrawal request for that class or you have already reached the undergraduate maximum units to withdraw.
How do W grades impact my financial aid eligibility?
Grades of W count toward your attempted credits calculation for determining Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) but do not count as credited earned so lower your PACE calculation and use credits towards Maximum Time Frame Calculations. Please consult with the Office of Student Financial Aid for more information.
What is the difference between a W and a WM grade?
A W grade (Withdrawal) is granted for approved withdrawals and does not affect your GPA. You may withdraw from a maximum of 18 units during your SFSU undergraduate career.

A WM (Withdrawal for Extenuating Circumstances) grade is granted for approved withdrawal under serious and extenuating circumstances and does not affect your GPA. If a withdrawal during the last three weeks of a semester is approved, it will generally result in WM grades. Official transcripts will still display a W. The WM is only for internal purposes. WM grades do not count towards the maximum of 18 units of withdrawals permitted.
How can I see how many courses and units are counting towards my withdraw and repeat unit limits as an undergraduate student?
This information is visible in your Student Center. Please see the Withdrawal & Repeat Limit guide on cms.sfsu.edu for detailed instructions.

Appeal of the Denial of a Request to Withdraw
If your request to withdraw from a course or courses was denied, you may appeal this decision by the last day of finals of that term. Submit a brief statement including the following to the Registrar's Office by the last day of finals:

Student's first and last name

Student's SF State ID number

Current email and phone number

Department(s) and course number(s) for each course which was denied that you are appealing.

A clear statement of the rationale for your appeal. You may include documentation which you feel supports your request.

Depending on the basis and timing of your appeal, it may be reviewed by the Department Chair, the Registrar, the Dean of Undergraduate Education and Academic Planning or the Board of Appeals and Review committee for a final determination. Please submit any forms or documentation to the Registrar's Office by email, records@sfsu.edu, or fax, 415.338.0588. You will be notified via email as to the outcome of your appeal.
Appeal to exclude a withdrawal from all courses during weeks 4 through 12 of instruction counting toward the withdraw limit (Undergraduates only).
Undergraduate students who are withdrawing from all their classes due to a serious illness or accident during weeks 4 through 12 may appeal to have these withdrawals excluded from the withdraw limit. For your appeal to be considered, you must:

1. Submit requests to withdraw from each course using the online procedure described above in Request to Withdraw (weeks 4 Through 12 of Instruction).

2. Submit a brief statement to the Registrar's Office including the following:

Student's first and last name

Student's SF State ID number

Current email and phone number

A statement as to the serious illness or accident which prevents you from completing any of your courses for this term.

Provide thorough and credible documentation supporting the serious illness or accident.

Your appeal will only be considered by the Registrar if all individual course withdrawals for the semester have been approved. Please submit requests and documentation to the Registrar's Office by email, records@sfsu.edu, or fax, 415.338.0588. You will be notified via email as to the outcome of your appeal.
Appeal of the Deadline to Submit a Request for Withdrawal
Academic Policy requires that all requests to withdraw from a course must be submitted no later than the last day of instruction of the term in which the course is taken. If circumstances clearly beyond your control prevented you from meeting the deadline, you may appeal for consideration. Appeals of this nature are rare and most typically involve accident or serious illness. Documentation is required for consideration. These requests are usually to be withdrawn from all courses in a given semester, and in very rare circumstances the appeal of the deadline for withdrawal may be requested for an individual course or courses. Please follow the Appeals Checklist below to ensure you submit all necessary items. Your appeal should be submitted to the Registrar's Office.
Appeals Checklist

Required: A brief statement (1-2 pages) outlining the nature of your request, including an explanation of the circumstances that prevented you from meeting the deadline and from completing your coursework.

The statement must include:

Student's first and last name

Student's SF State ID number

Current email and phone number

Semester and year (e.g. spring 2020) for which you are requesting the withdrawal(s)

Department(s) and course number(s) for each course for which you are requesting withdrawal

Required: Documentation of the accident or serious illness that clearly matches the time period for which you are requesting the withdrawal. This documentation should support why you were unable to withdraw on time as well why you could not complete your coursework for the semester under consideration.

Required - Only for Individual Course Appeals: For the rare case where you are asking for an individual course appeal after the deadline and NOT for a whole semester appeal, you will also need to secure approval to withdraw from the instructor and department chair for the course(s). Please note, if an instructor is no longer available, you can secure the department chair's approval. Approval can be secured via SF State email and those emails must be included as part of your documentation.

Appeals which are incomplete or which are based on circumstances within your control will be denied. Appeals for a full semester will be reviewed by the Board of Appeals and Review committee as appropriate. They will make a recommendation to the academic administrator appointed by the president for a final determination for withdraw proposals after the 13th week of the semester. Please submit all required items outlined in the Appeals Checklist to the Registrar's Office by email, records@sfsu.edu, or fax, 415.338.0588. You will be notified via email as to the outcome of your appeal.

East Oakland DREAMers is committed to supporting the migrant community in the bay area by bridging together community resources, information, and funds.

If you are worried about the financial stability of your household, we have a checklist of suggested next steps.

1. Contact your landlord to ask about temporarily reducing or deferring your rent. Currently, landlords are not allowed to evict people for rent non-payment that is related to COVID-19 or the shelter-in-place order (through May 31). There may be more protections put in place soon.

2. Contact PG&E and ask for a payment plan if you cannot pay your utilities. Service disconnections are currently halted.

3. Contact your internet/phone providers to ask for a payment plan or deferral. Most internet/phone providers are not disconnecting lines and providing unlimited data for the next 60 days.

4. Access food pantries and school district food pick ups.

5. If you have DACA, TPS, asylum/refugee, or visa status, consider applying for unemployment. We have conflicting information about how this might impact a future change of status through public charge, so double check with your lawyer or clinic if you are concerned!

6. Go through our 1 pager (geared toward migrant folks) for updates on other funding opportunities (and for more info on the steps above).

7. Questions or worries? Reach out to eodreamers@gmail.com or kateri.simpson@gmail.com.
