What do I do if I believe transferable credit is missing from my record?

Make sure to speak with your Student Success Coach about this. Our goal is to assist you in finding the most efficient path to degree completion.

How do I know what to enroll in?

Start by going to Step 1: Register yourself in first-semester courses. You can identify appropriate courses to register for in Section A.

When registering in classes, what does "R" stand for?

R stands for Thursday.

When registering in classes, what does "TR" stand for?

TR stands for Tuesday and Thursday, "T" being Tuesday and "R" being Thursday.

I see several sections of a course I am about to add (A, B, C, etc). What is the difference between these sections?

Other than time, day, location and possibly professor, there’s really no difference. Choose any section that fits your schedule best.

How many units do I need in my first semester?

Be sure to register in at least twelve (12) units, as this is minimum for full-time status. While twelve (12) units is minimum for full-time status, we strongly recommend students enroll in an average of 15-16 units per semester. You will be asked to acknowledge this when initially registering in classes. Be sure to click the "Complete the Registration Agreement form" (gold button) on the Add/Drop Classes screen.

What do I do if I believe transfer credit will come in after my Class Registration period?

Avoid registering in any class you believe will be satisfied with transfer credit, and speak with your Student Success Coach about this. You will want to review your degree guide (or CBU unofficial transcript) throughout your time at CBU, and make adjustments as needed when transfer course work has been evaluated and appears on your record.

What do I do if I think my math or English placement should have been higher?

Challenging Your English or Math Placements

If you believe you should be in a higher level math or English course, you can take a placement exam using the information provided here. The last day to challenge your English placement is Friday, Sept. 6th by 4:00pm.

English Placement

Students must register into the class they were placed to complete their initial enrollment.

Placed into ENG113E?

If your placement is the 4-unit ENG113E and you are currently enrolled in or have completed what you believe to be a college-level composition course, or if you have taken the AP Language and Composition exam, speak with your advisor. Transfer courses and exam scores may affect placement.

If your placement is the 4-unit ENG113E and you submitted your SAT, ACT or CLT exam scores to CBU, then this is your placement. You can challenge this placement by taking the English Placement Challenge exam offered by Modern Languages and Literature. Contact Professor Jennifer Tronti at jtronti@calbaptist.edu.

If your placement is the 4-unit ENG113E and you did not submit SAT, ACT or CLT exam scores, this is your placement. You are free to challenge this placement by taking the Accuplacer exam offered through the Office of Student Success at (951) 343-4349, and tutoring@calbaptist.edu. The Accuplacer exam is offered on all Wednesdays at 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. throughout the summer.

Placed into ENG113?

If your placement is ENG113 but you feel you should have been placed into ENG123, you can take a challenge exam prepared by the CBU Department of Modern Languages & Literature. Those interested in taking taking this exam, contact Professor Jennifer Tronti at jtronti@calbaptist.edu.

Placed into ENG123?

If your placement is ENG123, this is the class in which you will need to register. One cannot challenge out of ENG123. Students who pass the challenge exam noted above will be permitted to register into ENG123.

Additionally, any test scores, transfer work, or AP English Language and Composition scores submitted after initial registration may result in a change to your composition placement. Notify your Student Success Coach if you are submitting additional transcripts or test scores.
