Upper Division Graduation Requirements
Upper Division General
Education (GE) Requirement
All students, transfer or native, must complete 9 units of upper
division GE from the approved list of GE courses. Classes offered
by the department of the student's major may not be used to satisfy
this requirement. For example, an Afro-Ethnic Studies major may
not use AFRO311 to satisfy GE requirements but the Human Services
major may use it, even though the class may apply to the major for
both students.

Junior Level Examination
in Writing Proficiency (EWP)
Students take the EWP after completing 60 units toward the baccalaureate
degree. If a student fails the EWP, the student may retake the
exam until a passing score is achieved. A limited number of students
who fail the EWP two or more times may enroll in ENGL 199, Intensive
Writing Review. Credit in ENGL 199 will be equivalent to passing
the examination. This course does not earn units toward tje degree,
nor will it satisfy the upper division writing course requirement
described above. Information about EWP test dates and registration
may be found in the class schedule or by visiting the Testing
Center website (www.fullerton.edu/testing).
Grad Check
Once the student reaches senior status (90 units), the student is
eligible to submit a grad check. Ideally, the grad check should
be submitted approximately one year in advance of graduation. This
is the final review of the student's records to officially confirm
what the student must do to fulfill remaining requirements for the
bachelor's degree. The grad check is first completed by Admissions
& Records where general education requirements are reviewed.
Next an advisor in the student's major reviews the grad check for
remaining requirements for the major.
The Grad Check request form may be obtained in the Academic Advisement
Center (UH 123) or in Admissions & Records, LH 114.
