Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC), Certificate of Achievement
Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC), Certificate of Achievement
The Certificate of Achievement in Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) recognizes the completion of the IGETC pattern of lower-division general education courses. IGETC is a series of courses that California community college students can complete to satisfy most freshman/sophomore level general education requirements in preparation for transfer. Separate from IGETC certification, the Certificate of Achievement is a state-approved award that is given by the college, documented on a student’s transcript, and qualifies a student to participate in the annual graduation ceremony.
Completion and certification of IGETC will permit a student to transfer from a California Community College to a California State University (CSU) or University of California (UC) campus generally without the need, after transfer, to take additional lower-division general education courses to satisfy campus general education requirements. Students wishing to use a course to meet an IGETC requirement must be sure that the course is on the IGETC list during the academic year when it is taken. When substituting a course from another California Community College, check assist.org to verify the course was approved to meet IGETC in that area at the college where the course was taken, in the year it was taken.
To earn the Certificate of Achievement in IGETC, students must:
- Complete a minimum of 37 semester units in IGETC Areas 1-5 and 7 as specified. Each course must be a minimum of 3 semester units.
- Complete IGETC Area 6A Language Other than English if transferring to a UC.
- Complete all courses with a grade of “C” or better or “P.” A “C” grade is defined as a minimum of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale. A “C-“ grade valued at less than 2.0 grade points on a 4.0 scale cannot be used for IGETC certification or the COA. The UC allows a maximum of 14 units to be graded “P” towards the 60 units required for transfer admission.
- Achieve a cumulative grade point average of no less than 2.0 in all college coursework applicable to the Certificate of Achievement.
IGETC 2024-2025
A minimum of a "C" grade is required in each college course for IGETC. A "C" is defined as a minimum 2.0 grade points on a 4.0 scale. Each course must be at least 3 semester/4 quarter units (except Science Lab courses in Area 5C)
