What to look for in your CAAR and How to Request Changes
1. Are courses meeting the area you intended?
If a course you took is sitting a different area than you intended in your CAAR, you can request that the course be moved to a different location by sending an email to records.registration@csuci.edu with your request.
An example: You took ANTH 102 at CI, which can meet GE Area C3B or GE Area D. The CAAR gave you credit for GE Area C3B, but you would prefer GE Area D credit.
2. Is your major reflected correctly?
Submit a Change of Major Request (PDF, 226KB) to the Enrollment Center in order to change your major, claim a major or minor, or to claim an emphasis, option or concentration.
You can view the major we have on file for you in the top left corner of your CAAR.
3. Did you submit a Substitution Request that is not reflected?
Send an email to records.registration@csuci.edu and ask for your approved Substitution Request to be processed in your CAAR.
You can determine if your approved substitution request was processed by reviewing your CAAR.
4. California Community College Transfer students: If you were CSU G.E. Certified at your community college, is that G.E. pattern reflected in your report?
Send an email to records.registration@csuci.edu requesting a review your transfer credit for CSU GE Certification.
You can determine if your CSU G.E. Certification or IGETC were processed by reviewing the General Education title in your CAAR. If you are certified, the title of your G.E. area will state either "CSU GE Certification pattern" or "IGETC Certification pattern".
