5. Transfer courses and undergraduate CSUN course(s) petitioned to count for Post-Graduate coursework cannot be validated once the course exceeds the 7-year time limit.
6. Units transferred in from a quarter institution will hold a lesser value (i.e. 4 quarter units= 2.67 semester units).
7. If the course(s) petitioned have been taken at an institution where the Degree has been granted, the student must provide a memo from the institution indicating the course(s) was not used for Degree completion.
