Is community college (and then transferring to 4 year) only for general ed. classes?

[ucbalumnus]

CSU campus and community college web sites indicates that all courses do count for subject credit, even if they do not add to transferable credit units because the student already has 70.

@CSU Northridge

Only 70 units from a community college can be applied to the total units toward a CSUN degree. If you take a community college course past the 70-unit limit, the class can meet a course requirement and will become part of your cumulative GPA, but no additional units will be earned toward the minimum number of units required to graduate.
