2015-2016 IGETC Notes
•
The IGETC is a general education program
that California Community College students
can use to fulfill lower division general education
requirements for any CSU or UC campus and
many California private colleges/universities.
•
The IGETC provides an alternative to the
General Education-Breadth requirements for
CSU, UC, and many California private
colleges/universities.
•
The IGETC is NOT an admission requirement
for the CSU or UC nor does completion of
the IGETC guarantee admission to the campus
or program of choice.
•
All areas of the IGETC must be completed
to be fully certified by the community college
and must be completed prior to transfer to a CSU
or UC. In some circumstances, a student may
make up two missing IGETC course
requirements after transferring to a university.
See a counselor for information regarding
partial certification.
•
All courses must be completed with a grade of
“C” or better to be certified.
•
A grade of “CR” (credit) or “P” (pass) may be
used if the grading policy of the community
college states that “CR” or “P” is equivalent to
a grade of “C” or better. The UC will allow no
more than 14 semester units taken CR/P toward
UC eligibility or IGETC. The CSU campuses
vary on the number of units they allow. Check
each college’s catalog or see a counselor for
more information.
•
Courses may be used only once to satisfy one
subject area even if they are listed in more than
one subject area.
•
Advanced Placement (AP) tests completed with
a score of 3, 4, or 5 may be applied to the IGETC
as long as the community college recognizes the
AP exam to be equivalent to its IGETC approved
courses. One AP exam may be applied to only
one course requirement. (Example: AP English
Comp and Literature may be used to satisfy
ENGL 1A or 1B NOT both.)
•
All IGETC coursework does not have to
be completed at the same college. Courses taken
at more than one California Community
College may be used to fulfill the IGETC.
Note, however, that courses applicable to
IGETC may vary from college to college.
•
Additional information regarding the
acceptance of IGETC at specific colleges
in each UC is available in the “UC Answers
for Transfers” booklet in the Transfer Center or
online at
http://www.universityofcalifornia.eduadmissions.
•
The IGETC is not a good option for
students intending to transfer into high-unit
majors, such as engineering or the sciences,
which require extensive lower
division preparation.
•
See a counselor to make sure that the IGETC
is appropriate for your use or if you have any
other questions regarding the IGETC.
•
Additional courses may be added to the
Clovis Community College IGETC. An
updated IGETC sheet may be obtained from
the Counseling Office, Transfer Center,
Clovis Community College web site, or
www.assist.org.Transfer to Private/Independent
and Out-of-State Colleges and
Universities
Transfer requirements of the private/independent and out-
of-state colleges and universities differ from one institution
to another. Students should acquaint themselves with the
current catalog of the college to which they plan to transfer
for admission, general education, and major preparation
information. It is up to the receiving institution to determine
application of credit. The Clovis Community College
Transfer Center has a library of catalogs for student use as
well as computers with internet access for college websites
and catalogs online. See a counselor for assistance.
