This worksheet is intended for supplemental use only. The University will use your Academic Requirements Report (ARR) to track your
graduation requirements, including those for your major. Please continue to check your Student Center and ARR for accuracy.
If your ARR requires a correction, please submit an ARR Correction Form at www.csusm.edu/academicadvising.
All courses used for the major and preparation for the major must be completed with a grade of C (2.0) or higher.
All non-articulated courses MUST be reviewed and approved by a faculty advisor.
