Does anyone know if the CSD course is an approved A-G course for the California State Universities and the University of California’s? Maybe we can make it so? ---

CSD isn’t an A-G approved course, but we are pursing it next year. We’ve yet to decide which type of credit we’re applying for, as they’ve recently opened up the Science requirement to potentially include CS classes. ---

Is there a way to make CSD an A-G course even though [code.org](http://code.org) hasn’t applied for the credit? Are there any schools that have? Thanks for the help. ---

@eduran Hi! Yes, schools/districts can apply for course a-g status individually. If your school would like to apply for a-g status, please let us know and we can do what we can to help you with getting the required information together. Right now, I don’t think that there are any schools that teach CSD as an a-g approved high school course. Elizabeth ---

We are not a unified district and I would like to include CSD as an A-G course. Can you email me with more info. Thanks. [eduran@euhsd.org](mailto:eduran@euhsd.org) ---

Hi, My school would like to teach the [Code.org](http://Code.org) CSD and CSP courses as A-G courses. Would love any support or additional info you can provide on the process. Thanks [mason.brown@eastbayia.org](mailto:mason.brown@eastbayia.org) ---

@mjdeister CSD is pre-approved for a-g credit. When your course list manager is adding in the new courses, have them choose that they are using a known course from a course provider, then choose “[Code.org](http://Code.org)” as the provider. They’ll have access to CSP and CSD for approval. You can click the link below to get information about the course. CSD is approved for “g-elective-math-computer science” and “CTE-Software and Systems Development / Information and Communication Technologies” credit. They’ll need to wait for the system to open up again in February, then they can get things approved for the 19-20 school year. After that, they can potentially petition for retroactive approval for 18-19. [Code.org reference list](https://hs-articulation.ucop.edu/agcourselist/institution/5179) Elizabeth
