Departmental Overview

The Central Evaluation Unit (CEU) resides in the Office of the Registrar and is responsible for processing transfer credit (exams and courses), facilitating and maintaining articulation agreements with the California Community Colleges, and developing and maintaining the degree audit requirement templates for all undergraduate colleges, majors and minors.

One of the central objectives of the unit is to serve undergraduate students and advising units in leveraging the Student Information System's enterprise application (currently PeopleSoft Campus Solutions) and associated applications in the end-to-end process for evaluation, tracking, and reporting of course work and exams toward degree completion and graduation verification.
