Generally the undergraduate student TDA consists of the following sections (click on a link below to jump to that section in this guide):

• Report Heading
• Graphs and pie chart
• Overview and General Education Requirements
• General Education Summary
• Major Requirements and Major GPA
• Upper Division Writing Requirement
• Courses Not Specifically Applied to Above Requirements (if applicable)
• Summary of Units

The Report Heading shows important information such as major, degree catalog year, and anticipated graduation date.

These charts and graphs are a visual representation of a student's progress towards degree requirements.

The list of major requirements varies per program. Most include the following course types:

• Core
• Required Concentration Courses
• Concentration Electives

The Upper Division Writing Requirement is specific to each major.

If the student has completed courses that are not specifically applied to GE or major requirements, they will be listed in this section as either counting towards the degree or no degree credit.

The Summary of Units section provides overall information on unit and GPA requirements.

1. Unit Requirements indicates units earned at CSUF, CSUF GPA, upper division units earned, residence upper division units earned, and major residence upper division units earned.
2. Transfer Institution Totals indicates units earned and GPA from all of your transfer institutions (if applicable).

Generally the graduate student TDA consists of the following sections (click on a link below to jump to that section in this guide):

• Report Heading
• Graphs and pie chart
• Overview and Student Standing/Degree Checkout
• Study Plan Courses
• Study Plan GPA Requirement and Graduate GPA Requirement
• Resident Units Requirement, Minimum Graded Unit Requirement, and Time Limit for Completion
• Coursework

The Report Heading shows important information such as major, degree catalog year, and anticipated graduation date.

The “TDA  Total Units Earned” pie chart and the “GPA” bar graph (figures on the left) indicate the units and GPA of the grad student’s Study Plan courses. The “Summary of Units” bar (figure on the right) indicates the number of graded units that a student earned while enrolled in the current program. Consequently, the “TDA- Total Unites Earned” pie chart and the “Summary of Units” bar graph may indicate different numbers.

1. If there are unfulfilled requirements, you will see a notation at the top of the body of the TDA.
2. Contact your graduate advisor if you have any questions about the TDA or find any errors.
3. The Legend shows the symbols that are used throughout the TDA.
4. Student Standing/Grad Checkout Status will show if a graduate student has been classified and their graduate degree checkout status once applicable.

This section consists of the degree requirements, starting with the Required Courses. Study Plans will vary by degree, but generally they are 30 units total. In the above example, 27 units are listed as Required Courses and 3 units are listed as Culminating Experience.

There are symbols next to each requirement indicating whether the requirement is complete, planned, in progress, or unfulfilled (the Legend is at the bottom of the TDA). When a requirement has been met, the course that met the requirement is listed along with the grade received. Where the requirement has not been met, a list of eligible courses appears.

A grade-point average (grade points divided by units attempted) of at least 3.0 is required for graduation with a graduate degree. This grade-point average applies to 1) all 400-, 500- and 600-level units attempted subsequent to admission to a degree program; and 2) all units required on the graduate Study Plan including transfer courses.

1. Resident Units Requirement will list the courses/units that the student has completed (or is in progress) towards this requirement.
2. Minimum Graded Unit Requirement will list the courses/units that the student has completed (or is in progress) towards this requirement.
3. Time Limit for Completion is a reminder that all requirements should be completed within five years starting from the semester of the earliest course on the student's Study Plan.

Coursework provides a historical listing of all courses enrolled in and/or completed at CSUF by semester along with the grade, units earned, and GPA.
