Transfer students who may have only partially completed the Code requirement before entering Cal State East Bay should go to either the History Department or the Political Science Department on the Hayward campus to find out what remaining course(s) is(are) required.

Official Code examinations may be substituted for the three components of the requirement: U.S. History, U.S. Constitution, and California state and local government. These tests are given by the Testing Office.

Students may fulfill the U.S. History and U.S. Constitution requirements with a score of 3 or above on the Advanced Placement test in U.S. History or with a score of 3 or above on the Advanced Placement test in American Government and Politics. These students still need to complete the California state and local government requirement with a Second Category course or the appropriate examination.
