SDSU on college applications

Many students ask what they should put on their college applications for the SDSU courses. Treat the classes as if they were actually taken at SDSU. (You really are taking the class there, we just are offering the section here. Technically, the course is offered through the College of Extended Studies at San Diego State University, so use that option if it's available.) List the classes as college courses you have taken, are currently taking, or are planning to take, as appropriate.

Calculus C = SDSU Math 151 Calculus II (4 semester units)
Calculus D = SDSU Math 252 Calculus III (4 semester units)
Linear Alg. = SDSU Math 254 Introduction to Linear Algebra (3 semester units)

Advanced Topics in Math II:
     Fall: SDSU Math 241 Mathematics Software Workshop (1 semester unit)
     Spring: SDSU Math 118 Topics in Mathematics (3 semester units)

Note: None of these classes are UC a-g. They are college courses instead.

Level = College-Level (if asked, 151 & 118 are 100-level and 252, 254, & 241 are 200-level)
Department = Math
Type of Units = Semester (not quarter)
