@Evilcow867 no, the use of imperative implies that you must complete everything, and that makes sense for CoE - and still, I’m sure that there are people who are unable to access those courses, but still get in.
My major, Philosophy, is entirely different. The prereq’s for UCB’s Philos major aren’t offered at any CCC as far as I’m aware, so naturally, no transfers are penalized for not taking the required courses. I’m not sure as to where the line is drawn, but it certainly varies depending on the major. I’ve just heard that, if a course is not offered at your CCC, you will not be punished for that. It may depend on the college/major, but I don’t know honestly.
