The University of California

The University of California (UC) is one of the finest research universities in the world. It offers more than 900 degree programs and 160 academic disciplines, with more academic departments ranked in the top 10 nationally than any other public or private university. The UC system has 10 campuses; one (UC San Francisco) is a graduate/professional program and nine (UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Los Angeles, UC Merced, UC Riverside, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara, and UC Santa Cruz) offer undergraduate programs.

All nine campuses have uniform minimum entrance requirements and certain other features in common. However, each campus is distinctive and not all majors are offered on all campuses. Students should investigate the various undergraduate colleges, schools, and majors available on each campus to determine which campuses will best satisfy their educational needs. Students are further encouraged to discuss with their counselor or with a UC Admissions representative the particular advantages each campus has to offer. For more information, see universityofcalifornia.edu.

Nearly a third of University of California (UC) undergraduates are transfer students. Students from California community colleges (CCC) can become eligible for admission to the UC by meeting specific requirements. The requirements described below represent the minimum academic standards students must attain to be considered for admission to the University. Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission to the University nor does it guarantee admission to a particular campus or major of the student's choice. Many campuses and majors receive more applications than they have spaces available. To be more competitive, students should work toward meeting the specific major preparation courses and general education requirements for the campuses and majors they're interested in.

I. Admission Requirements as Junior-Level Transfer

The UC gives highest priority to CCC students transferring as juniors. A transfer student, according to the University, is a student who has enrolled in a fall, winter, or spring term at a college or university after high school graduation.  Students who meet this definition cannot disregard their college record and apply as freshmen. A student who attends a college summer program immediately after graduating from high school or who has completed college work while in high school is still considered a freshman applicant.

 California community college (CCC) transfer student is defined as having completed at least 30 semester (45 quarter) UC-transferable units at one or more California community colleges and whose last college attended in a regular session (fall/spring or fall/winter/spring) before enrolling at a UC campus. 

To be considered for admission as a junior-level transfer applicant, a student must fulfill the following criteria:

1. Complete 60 semester (90 quarter) units of UC-transferable college credit with a GPA of at least 2.4 (2.8 for non-California residents). Each course must be worth at least 3 semester (4-5 quarter) units and be UC-transferable. No more than 14 semester (21 quarter) units of the required 60 semester (90 quarter) units may be taken Pass/No Pass, unless the student is transferring from a college or university that awards only pass credit. A Pass (P) is considered to be equivalent to a C (2.00).
NOTE: Students should visit www.assist.org to make sure their courses are approved for UC transfer.

2. Be in good academic standing (2.0 GPA or better) at the last institution of attendance and at any previous UC campus where the student was enrolled in a regular term (e.g., fall, winter, or spring).
Note: A grade of D (including plus/minus) in a transferable course will count toward the number of transferable units completed. However, a grade of C or better is required when completing the seven-course pattern. And, in most cases, grades of D do not satisfy major or general education requirements.

3. Complete either:

a. The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) or 
b. The following seven-course pattern by the end of the spring term prior to fall enrollment at UC and earn a grade of C (2.0) or better in each course or a Pass (P) grade, if Pass is equivalent to a C (2.0).

• Two UC transferable courses (3 semester or 4-5 quarter units in each) in English Composition;
• One UC transferable course (3 semester or 4-5 quarter units in each) in mathematical concepts and quantitative reasoning;
• Four transferable college courses (3 semester or 4-5 quarter units in each) chosen from at least two of the following subject areas: arts and humanities; social and behavioral sciences; and physical and biological sciences.

4. Complete the required/recommended courses needed for your intended major with the minimum grades. Visit ASSIST to see the major preparation coursework expected by each campus or refer to the UC's Transfer Pathways, a single set of courses you can take to prepare for your major on any of the nine (9) undergraduate campuses.

Advanced Placement (AP) exams with scores of 3, 4, or 5 can be used to meet minimum requirements and subject areas. Please note: only one of the two English composition/literature courses required can be satisfied by an AP exam score). 

How to Transfer as a Junior-Level Applicant

To transfer to the University as a CCC junior-level transfer student, a student must take the following steps:

1.  Meet Admission Requirements – a student must complete the statewide eligibility requirements for transferring to the UC, see Admission Requirements as Junior-Level Transfer listed above.
2. Major Preparation Requirements – major preparation requirements specify the courses a student must take during the first two years of college to prepare for advanced study in the selected major. Major preparation is one of the central factors some UCs use to determine admissions to the University. They may be required as part of the major, be prerequisites for other courses that are required as part of the major, or be required to gain admission to the major. Completing these courses before transfer makes a student a more competitive applicant and will help ensure on-time graduation after transfer. Refer to ASSIST for the major preparation requirements for the selected institution.
Performance counts - transfer applicants are evaluated, in part, on the basis of their performance in major preparation coursework. So it's important — very important — that the students investigate the requirements for the intended major as soon as possible. If the major requires mathematics and/or science, it is essential that those prerequisites be completed before transfer. Lack of preparatory coursework may affect admission to the major, particularly if there are many applicants vying for a limited number of spaces.
Start early - Students should begin coursework in the major as soon as one is selected. For fall admission, the campus may require the completion of certain major preparation requirements by the end of the preceding spring term.  All campuses recommend that the student complete mathematics and English as early as possible (some highly recommend or require completion by the end of the fall term, one year prior to enrolling at UC).
Students who have decided on a major but are undecided on the specific UC campus can refer to the UC Transfer Pathways for the list of the most common lower-division pre-major preparation courses required for the majors at the UC. Schedule an appointment with a counselor to discuss and explore the many options of major and career available.

3. Complete an appropriate set of general education course requirements and electives. 
Transfer students have three options for fulfilling General Education (GE) preparation for the UC, depending on the campus and major selected:

a. Intersegmental Transfer General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) is a series of courses that California community college students may complete to satisfy the lower-division breadth/general education requirements at both the UC and the California State University (CSU). The IGETC pattern is helpful for students who know they want to transfer but have not yet decided upon a particular system, institution, or major. Students who intend to transfer into high-unit majors, such as engineering and many of the physical and natural sciences, should concentrate on completing the many prerequisites for the major that the college screens for to determine eligibility for admission. OR

b. IGETC for STEM (science, technology, engineering, or mathematics) - UC will accept IGETC for STEM only if:

• An associate degree for transfer (ADT) at a CCC that offers IGETC for STEM as an option for those degrees AND
• The UC major program or college accepts partial IGETC certification.

Note: As of May 2022, UC will accept IGETC for STEM for the associate degrees for transfer (ADT) in Biology, Chemistry, or Environmental Science. And, although IGETC for STEM is an option, students should prioritize completing major-preparation courses for the specific campuses and programs they are considering.

c. Campus-specific general education requirements of the college or campus they plan to attend, visit assist.org website.

UC Transfer Pathways and Pathways+

In an effort to simplify the transfer process and help students better prepare for admission, the University of California (UC) has developed the UC Transfer Pathways. The intent of the Transfer Pathways is to provide an academic roadmap to the most popular majors for California community college (CCC) students by identifying and unifying major preparation requirements in selected majors for those students who apply to multiple UC campuses or who do not yet know which campus they plan to attend.

Each pathway outlines the set of courses students should take to be competitive for the most sought-after majors at every UC campus. Some campuses may want fewer courses for admission, but none will require more. In addition, campuses may have grade requirements for particular courses, but with this roadmap, students will know which classes to take to prepare for all campuses in a single major. More information on the Transfer Pathways can be obtained on the UC Transfer Pathways website. Students are strongly encouraged to apply to multiple campuses to improve their chances of admission.

Available majors for the Transfer Pathways include: Anthropology, Biochemistry, Biology, Business Administration, Cell Biology, Chemistry, Communication, Computer Science, Economics, Electrical Engineering, English, History, Mathematics, Mechanical Engineering, Molecular Biology, Philosophy, Physics, Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology.

Pathways+ combines the TAG and Transfer Pathways and provides students with a solid foundation for academic success and timely degree completion after transfer. A student who submits a TAG (Transfer Agreement Guarantee) and completes the pathway of pre-major and general education courses with a satisfactory GPA will be guaranteed admission to the TAG campus and be well-prepared for junior-level transfer to other UC campuses in that major and be well-positioned to graduate in a timely fashion. The UC Transfer Pathways Guide provides a listing of community college courses that meet the course expectations for each of the pathways. For more information, visit the Pathway+ website.  

The UC Transfer Pathways (UCTP) Associate's Degree in Chemistry or Physics is an extension of Pathways+. These degrees include the major preparation outlined in the UC Transfer Pathways and are available at Moorpark College. In order to secure an admission guarantee in Chemistry or Physics students must:  

• Complete the coursework and requirements outlined in the Transfer Pathway, 
• Meet or exceed the required campus-based TAG GPA (campuses vary in the range of 2.8 - 3.4 GPA minimums), 
• Submit a TAG application by September 30, and 
• Apply for admission by November 30.

Transferring with an Associate Degree for Transfer

For students working toward an Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT), courses should be chosen that align with the requirements of the intended UC campus. Students should refer to the ASSIST website to guide them in selecting the right courses. Although earning an ADT does not guarantee admission to a UC, some campuses consider it in the comprehensive application review process.

II. Other Types of Transfer

Some campuses admit a limited number of transfer students from a four-year (or out-of-state two-year) institution, lower-division transfers (completed less than 60 UC transferable semester units), returning to your previous UC campus, transferring to a different UC campus, second baccalaureate and limited status if the applicant has met the specific requirements. To check for the campus and majors available for the upcoming terms, visit the Check Majors website. 

III. Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG)

Six UC campuses offer guaranteed admission in particular majors to California community college (CCC) students who meet specific requirements, which may include completion of certain major preparatory courses and attaining a minimum GPA for the chosen major. Students must submit the TAG application in September for the following fall term, or May for the following winter/spring term. By participating in a Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) program, students may, at some campuses, receive an early review of their academic records, early admission notification, and specific guidance on major preparation and general education coursework. For more information on TAG, visit a counselor and/or the TAG website

TAG is available for the following UCs: 

• Davis
• Irvine
• Merced
• Riverside
• Santa Barbara, and
• Santa Cruz.

Who Can File a TAG?

Only students transferring directly from a California community college (CCC) are considered for a TAG, including international students (those with a visa). Again, a CCC transfer is one who has completed at least 30 semester (45 quarter) UC-transferable units at one or more CCCs, and the last college the student attended in a regular session (fall/spring or fall/winter/spring) before admission to a UC campus is a CCC. All UC campuses that offer TAG's require students to meet this definition.

Who’s NOT Eligible for a TAG?

The following students are not eligible for TAG: students who have already earned a bachelor's degree, graduate degree, and/or professional degree; students who have previously enrolled at a UC campus during a regular term (not including summer session only) who plan to return to that same campus; and students concurrently enrolled in high school at the time of TAG application submission.

For most up-to-date information on TAG, visit our Career Transfer Center and/or schedule an appointment with a counselor.

IV. Additional Transfer Information

Transfer Selection by Campus

Many colleges, schools, or majors within the UC are highly selective and may have additional program requirements. These could include but are not limited to an audition, submission of a portfolio, supplemental applications, specific prerequisite coursework, test scores, and/or higher GPA than the minimum criteria for admission. Students are advised to make themselves as competitive as possible when applying for admission both in GPA and course preparation. Visit the how applications are reviewed website to obtain information on the factors the UC campus looks for in an applicant.

Limits on Transfer Credits

In order to receive transfer credit, a CCC course must be approved by the UC and be listed on the Transfer Course Agreement (TCA) available in this catalog and on www.assist.org.

Lower-Division Units
All lower-division units, whether from a 2-year and/or 4-year college/university are limited to a maximum of 70 semester (105 quarter) units toward the UC degree. For units beyond the maximum (70 semester or 105 quarter) for which credit is awarded will be granted subject credit and may be used to satisfy subject requirements.

• Units earned through AP, IB, and/or A-Level examinations are not included in the limitation and do not put applicants at risk of being denied admissions.
• Units earned at any UC campus (Extension, summer, cross/ concurrent and regular academic year enrollment) are not included in the limitation but are added to the maximum transfer credit allowed and might put applicants at risk of being denied admission due to excessive units.
  Note: if all courses are completed at one or more 2-year (community) colleges, a student would never be in danger of having too many (excessive) units.

High-Unit Junior or Senior Standing 

Some UC campuses and programs do not offer admission to students who have accumulated a combination of lower-division and upper-division (and/or UC) units beyond 80 semester (120 quarter) units or with junior or senior standing. Junior standing is defined as having 80-89 semester (120-133.5 quarter) UC-transferable units. Senior standing is defined as having 90 semester (135 quarter) or more UC-transferable units. For the list of UCs that admit students with junior or senior standing and for more information about this limitation, refer to the High-Unit Limits and Admission Policy by Campus section of the Quick Reference Guide to UC Admissions.

University of California Courses

• Courses from enrollment at another UC main campus (not UC Extension) during a regular academic (fall, winter, spring) or summer term are all transferable.
• Courses from enrollment at any UC Extension are transferable if the course is numbered X1-X199; course numbers 1-99 which include a campus designation (e.g. XB, XLA) are equivalent to the same course offered to undergraduates on that campus.

Duplicative Credit
UC will not grant credit for college courses if the content duplicates material of previous completed courses or examinations for which credit has already been granted; with the exception of the repeat of deficient (C-/D/F) course grades

Grades of D
A grade of D (including plus/minus) in a transferable course will count toward the number of transferable units completed. However, the student must earn a grade of C or better when completing the seven-course pattern, and, in most cases, grades of D do not satisfy major or general education requirements.

Pass grades: Pass (P) or Credit (CR) grades are acceptable in transferable courses as long as they are equivalent to a grade of C or better (not C-); however, students are strongly advised that they must take courses required for their major for a letter grade.

UC does not grant credit for:

• Work or volunteer experience, vocational or technical training, and personal enrichment courses;
• Remedial academic or pre-baccalaureate courses, especially in English and mathematics; 
• College-Level Examination Program (CLEP), or DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSST) exams.
• Variable Topic Courses in Journalism, Photography, Health, Business Administration, Architecture, Administration of Justice (Criminology), or Library Departments.
• Coursework from junior/community college programs that are technical or vocational, or that do not lead to further academic study at a University in the international country.

• Elementary/Intermediate (lower-division) language course - if the instruction was in that language during secondary school.

• Courses completed at unaccredited/non-regionally accredited institutions may be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Contact the individual UC campus for more information. 

Credit with Limitations

• Independent Study - courses are reviewed after transfer by the enrolling institution and credit is given only after a review of the scope and content of the course and may require recommendations by faculty. Students must submit the course syllabus and petition for credit. Faculty recommendations from the sending CCC campus may be required. This applies to courses in Independent Study, Experiential Learning, Field Studies, Individual Projects, Internships, Special Studies, Special Topics, and Tutorials.
• One course for the following areas: Health, First Aid, Business Law, College Success, and Library Studies
• Duplication of regular and honors courses - credit will be granted for the first course completed with a grade of C or better. 
• Physical Education Courses - A maximum of 4 semester (6 quarter) units of PE Activity; a maximum of 8 semester (12 quarter) units of physical education theory.
• English as a Second Language Courses (ESL/ELD) - a maximum of 8 semester (12 quarter) units will earn transfer credit.
• Physics - students may take one series in Physics.

Repeated Courses

A student is allowed to repeat each course in which a “C-“, “ D+”, "D”, "D-", “F” or “NP” grade was originally earned, as many times as necessary, until the first time he or she earns a letter grade of “C” or better. The following rules apply:

• The replacement (repeat) course must be similar to the original course (the same content but not necessarily the same title) and must be offered at the same level as the original course.
• The new grade earned will replace the deficient grade in the GPA calculation. UC does not average the grades. A No Credit (NC), Not Pass )NP) or Academic Renewal (AR) grade in a repeated course will not replace a deficient grade.
• All coursework (original and repeats) must be reported on the admission application.
• A non-honors course can be used as a repeat of an honors-level course.
• An honors-level course may be used as a repeat of a non-honors course.
• Repeat of “C” (2.0) grades is not allowed, regardless of the repeat policy at the sending institution.
• Repeat of courses out of sequence is not allowed.
  • Sequential subjects for UC are chemistry, English as a second language, languages other than English and mathematics. These are also the subjects for which UC allows validation.
  • Students may not repeat a lower-level course if a grade of D- or higher has already been earned in a higher-level course. UC will not award credit or grade points for such courses.
• UC courses must be repeated at UC, but not necessarily at the original campus.
• Non-UC courses may be repeated at any U.S. regionally accredited college (or international university by the Ministry of Education).
• UC will not grant credit for college courses in which the content duplicates material of a previously completed course or examination for which credit has already been granted, with the exception of the repeat of deficient (C-/D/F) course grades.

Course Sequences

When requirements are stated as a full-year sequence, students are encouraged to complete the entire course series before transferring to avoid duplicating coursework. Also, the topics covered in a particular semester or quarter of the sequence at a community college may not be the same as at a UC campus and could result in missing or duplicative work.

U.S. Military Service Courses

UC may award lower division (freshman/sophomore level) units for military courses completed if the courses are consistent with University policy on granting transfer credit when there is an equivalent course taught at a UC campus. UC will consult the American Council on Education (ACE) recommendations for information regarding course content and as a guide to awarding of credit. Credit for military courses is determined after matriculation at UC.

Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) 2024–2025

The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) is a comprehensive pattern of courses that prospective transfer students from California community colleges can complete to satisfy most freshman/sophomore-level general education before transferring to UC.

Rules for IGETC

• A minimum grade of "C" is required in each college course. A "C" is defined as a minimum 2.0-grade point on a 4.0 scale. 
• Each course must be at least 3 semester/4–5 quarter units (except Laboratory Science courses in Area 5C).
• To fulfill an IGETC area, a course must be approved in that area during the semester the course is taken. Always check the IGETC list on assist.org before registering for a course.
• Courses listed in more than one area shall not be certified in more than one area, except combined lecture/lab science courses or courses used to meet Area 6 (LOTE).
• Duplicate credit will not be awarded for both the honors and regular versions of a course. Credit will be awarded only for the first course completed with a grade of "C" or better.
• Students completing IGETC Certification may also apply for a Certificate of Achievement (COA), see a college counselor.

The IGETC requires completion of a minimum of 37 semester or 49 quarter units of courses in the following areas.

Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum

What is the IGETC?

The IGETC (Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum) is a series of courses that  California community college (CCC) transfer students may complete to meet lower-division general education requirements in either the University of California (UC) or the California State University (CSU) system without the need, after transfer, to take additional lower-division general education courses. The IGETC pattern is most helpful for students who want to keep their options open before making a final decision about transferring to a particular UC or CSU campus. Completion of IGETC does NOT guarantee admission, nor is it required for admission. Many independent, private and out-of-state colleges and universities will also accept the IGETC as meeting full or partial general education requirements.

If you have completed substantial coursework from institutions outside the United States, consult a counselor to determine whether you should complete IGETC or the lower-division breadth/general education requirements at the campus you plan to attend. In addition, some transfer students in some colleges or majors must follow a more prescribed lower-division curriculum than IGETC allows. 

Students Eligible to Use the IGETC

The IGETC was developed by the Academic Senates of the CCC, UC, and CSU for use by California community college (CCC) transfer students. A student may be IGETC certified if they have completed coursework at any CCC without regard to current enrollment status or the number of units accrued at a CCC. Students who initially enroll at a UC or CSU campus, then leave and attend a community college, and subsequently return to a different UC or CSU campus may use the IGETC.

Students NOT Eligible to Use the IGETC

Students who initially enroll at a UC campus, then leave and attend a community college, and subsequently return to the same campus are considered "readmits" by the UC. Such students cannot use the IGETC. CSU does not have a system-wide policy that addresses these students and situations. Questions regarding the appropriate use of IGETC for a student who was initially enrolled at a CSU should be directed to the specific campus to which the student wishes to transfer.

Students Who Should Follow IGETC

IGETC is most helpful to students who want to keep their options open - specifically, those who know they want to transfer but haven't yet decided upon a particular institution, campus or major.

Students Who Should NOT Follow IGETC

Students pursuing majors that require extensive lower-division major preparation may not find the IGETC option to be advantageous. Engineering, Architecture, and Liberal Studies are examples of those majors. Those students are advised to focus on completing their lower-division major preparation requirements while meeting minimum admission requirements (e.g., seven-course pattern) and are recommended to see a counselor for assistance in course selection.

IGETC for STEM

The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum for Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (IGETC for STEM) is a separate IGETC track and is only available to students earning an Associate in Science Degree for Transfer (AS-T) in Biology, Chemistry, or Environmental Science at a CCC that offers IGETC for STEM as an option AND only if the UC major or program allows partial IGETC certification. 

Students who intend to transfer into majors that require extensive lower-division preparation, such as the physical and natural sciences, technology, engineering, or mathematics should concentrate on completing the prerequisites for the major required by the individual UC campus.

Is IGETC or IGETC for STEM an Admission Requirement?

IGETC is not an admission requirement. Completing it does not guarantee admission to the campus or program of choice. However, completing GE requirements, whether through IGETC or the campus-specific requirements, may be considered by the campus in selecting among qualified candidates. In fact, some campuses and programs may accept only students who complete IGETC. Students should check campus admission websites for information about the selection.  

Courses Appropriate for IGETC

Courses used towards satisfaction of the IGETC must be at the baccalaureate level and meet the specifications stated in the IGETC Standards, Policies & Procedures for the specified GE area. 

Minimum Unit Value

A course must have a minimum unit value of 3 semester or 4 quarter units to meet the requirements for IGETC. Laboratory courses intended to accompany lecture courses are an exception to this guideline. It is not acceptable to take three 1 semester unit courses to fulfill a 3 unit requirement as the content of a 1 unit course will not provide the depth, scope and rigor of a single 3 unit course.

Exception: 3-quarter unit or 2 semester unit Math and English courses that satisfy IGETC Areas 1A or 2 may be applied if 1) they are a part of a sequence, 2) at least two of the 3-quarter or 2 semester unit courses as part of the same sequence have each been completed with “C” grade (2.0 on a 4.0 scale) or higher, and 3) the course sequence must meet the rigor and breadth of IGETC Standards. 

When combining quarter and semester unit values within an IGETC area, units shall be converted to either all quarter units or all semester units to benefit the student

Minimum Grade Requirements

A minimum “C” grade is required in each college course for IGETC. A “C” is defined as a minimum of 2.0 grade points on a 4.0 scale. A “C−”  cannot be used for IGETC certification, except for the UC Language Other Than English (LOTE) requirement. 

Pass/Credit Grades

Courses in which a student receives a “Credit/Pass” grade may be certified for IGETC if the college’s policy states that a “Credit or Pass” designation is equivalent to a grade of C or higher (2.0 grade points on a 4.0 scale). However, students are strongly advised that they must take courses required for the major for a letter grade. In addition, it is important to keep in mind that some CSU and UC campuses may have limitations on the number of Credit/Pass courses and units accepted towards transfer, graduation, and major requirements. The UC system allows a maximum of 14 semester (21 quarter) units of courses graded "Pass/No Pass (Credit/No Credit) toward the 60 transferable semester units required for transfer admission.

California Community College Coursework

Coursework completed at another California Community College (CCC) should be applied to the subject area in which it is listed by the institution where the work was completed. In addition, the course must have been IGETC approved in the area it was taken at the time it was taken. Approval dates can be verified by consulting the website assist.org.

Coursework from all other United States regionally accredited institutions should be evaluated and deemed by the CCC faculty in the discipline or their designee to be comparable to coursework on that community college’s approved IGETC course list before it is allowed to fulfill IGETC requirements. The course should then be used in the same subject areas as those for the community college completing the certification. Upper-division work may also be used in limited circumstances. See the latest version of the IGETC Standards for criteria.

There is no limitation on the number of courses completed at other United States regionally accredited institutions that can be included in the IGETC certification.

International Coursework

International coursework may be applied to IGETC if the international institution has United States regional accreditation. All other international coursework cannot be applied to IGETC, with the exception of Area 6, Language Other Than English (LOTE). These can be from non-United States institutions.

Students with a substantial amount of international coursework at a non-United States regionally accredited institution should be encouraged to follow the CSU or UC campus-specific general education pattern.

Distance Education Courses

California Community College may use distance education for IGETC provided that the courses have been approved by the CSU and UC during the IGETC review process. Delivery modality does not determine CSU and UC approval

Non-CCC institutions distance education courses may be used towards IGETC.However, the courses must meet the same criteria and guidelines as other non-CCC courses as stated in the latest IGETC Standards.

CSU U.S. History, Constitution, and American Ideals Requirements

The CSU U.S. History, Constitution, and American Ideals graduation requirement is not part of IGETC. Courses used to satisfy this requirement may also be listed in IGETC Subject Areas 3B and/or 4. CSU campuses have the discretion whether to allow courses used to satisfy the CSU U.S. History, Constitution, and American Ideals graduation requirement to also count in Areas 3B and 4.

Using AP and IB exams for IGETC

IGETC course credit may be earned with an acceptable score on Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) exams as specified in the latest version of the IGETC Standards Policies and Procedures Manual.

Students who have earned credit from an AP or IB exam should not take a comparable college course because transfer credit will not be granted for both.

Advanced Placement (AP) 

The UC grants unit credit for College Board Advanced Placement (AP) examinations on which a student scores 3, 4 or 5. Elective units awarded may be applied to UC graduation requirements for specific subjects and/or for general education/breadth requirements, as determined by each UC campus. To see how AP credits are used for IGETC certification, refer to the Credit for Prior Learning, Advanced Placement Credit (AP for IGETC) Section of the Catalog.

International Baccalaureate (IB) 

The UC awards unit credit for International Baccalaureate (IB) examinations. A score of 5, 6 or 7 on Higher Level Exam is required to grant credit for IGETC certification. An acceptable IB score for IGETC equates to either 3 semester or 4 quarter units for certification purposes. To see how IB credits are used for IGETC certification, refer to the Credit for Prior Learning, International Baccalaureate Credit (IB for IGETC) Section of the Catalog.

Credit by Exam

Credit by exam is acceptable provided that the transcript specifies the course title, unit value, grade, and is posted to a specific term. A “Credit/Pass” designation is acceptable provided that the institution’s policy states that a “Credit/Pass” designation is equivalent to a “C” grade or higher (2.0 grade points on a 4.0 scale). The course must be deemed comparable by the CCC faculty in the discipline or its designee (e.g., Articulation Officer).

Exams Not Applicable for IGETC

The UC does not award unit credit for the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), College Board, and ACT exams and therefore these cannot be used for IGETC certification. 

The CSU has a system-wide policy for CLEP and other examinations awarding transfer credit for admission based on these exams. The CSU policy for CLEP can be found at calstate.edu  website

​Certification of IGETC

All three VCCCD colleges offer Full and Partial Certification of the IGETC. Students who have completed coursework at more than one California community college (CCC) should have their coursework certified by the last CCC they attended for a regular term (fall or spring for semester schools; fall, winter, or spring for quarter schools) prior to transfer. If a student requests certification from a CCC that is not the last school of attendance, it is at the discretion of that community college to certify. IGETC certification will be processed without regard to current enrollment status or the number of units accrued at a particular CCC.

NOTE: Students transferring to a CSU with a completed IGETC will still need to complete nine-semester units of upper-division general education and may be held to other campus-specific graduation requirements outside of general education and major coursework.

Full Certification 

It is strongly recommended that students complete the IGETC prior to transfer. Advantages of completing the IGETC may include more flexibility in class selection at the university and timely progress to degree completion. All UC and CSU campuses will accept the full and completed IGETC to satisfy all lower-division general education requirements.

There is no limit on the number of courses completed at other United States regionally accredited institutions that can be included in the IGETC certification. However, individual colleges or majors within a CSU or UC campus may not accept IGETC for meeting general education. A list of those UC colleges and majors can be found on the University of California website.  It is the student’s responsibility to request IGETC Certification in the Counseling Office.

Before petitioning for IGETC certification, students are strongly urged to consult with their counselor and verify that they have fulfilled their IGETC requirements.

Note, UC Berkeley and UC Merced only accept full IGETC certification.

First-time freshmen with IGETC Certification

Although the IGETC is intended to facilitate transfer from the California community colleges and improve time to degree for transfer students. With the rise of dual enrolment programs, all campuses except San Diego will honor full IGETC certification from a first-time freshman if the requirements were completed prior to entering UC and if the college/school and major would usually accept IGETC from a transfer student. Partial IGETC, however, will not be accepted from entering freshmen at any campuses. 

Partial Certification 

California community colleges (CCC) transfer students may request and be granted partial certification of the IGETC if they are missing no more than two courses. However, students should verify that the transfer school, college, and/or major will accept partial certification. Students submitting partial IGETC certification should work with the transfer institution to determine how the missing courses can be completed. Students who have been granted partial IGETC certification should not return to the community college for full certification. 

UC Davis, Irvine, San Diego, Santa Barbara, and Santa Cruz accept partial IGETC certification. 

UCLA and UC Riverside accept partial IGETC certification, except for the following majors and programs.

• Los Angeles – School of Engineering and Applied Science, School of Nursing, and School of Theater, Film and Television.
• Riverside – College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences

UC Berkeley and UC Merced do not accept partial certification for any of their programs and majors.

NOTE: Partial IGETC certification that acknowledges a deficiency in IGETC Areas 1 and/or 2 may indicate a student does not meet minimum transfer admission requirements.

Certification of IGETC for STEM 

A transfer student intending to obtain an Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) in Biology, Chemistry, or Environmental Science may complete and be certified for IGETC for STEM.  The UC will accept IGETC for STEM if the UC school/college/major program to which the student transfers accepts partial IGETC certification. 

Courses Needed for IGETC for STEM Certification

IGETC for STEM certification requires the student to complete the following before transfer:

• All courses in Area 1 (except 1C for UC-bound students), Area 2, Area 5, and Area 7;
• One course in Area 3A; one course in Area 3B; and one course in Area 4 (the second Area 4 course will need to be from a different academic discipline). And,

The following should be completed after transfer:

• One remaining lower-division general education course in Area 3;
• One remaining lower-division general education course in Area 4 (in a different academic discipline from the first Area 4 course); and
• One course in Area 6 for UC-bound students who have not satisfied it through proficiency.

Note: These deferred lower-division courses must be replaced with calculus and/or science courses required by the major before transfer. More information can be found on the IGETC for STEM website.

IGETC for STEM for CSU

If any specific Associate in Science for Transfer (AS-T) degree allows IGETC for STEM majors as its general education pattern, the specific courses that should replace the deferred lower-division general education courses may be indicated on the Transfer Model Curriculum (TMC) for that discipline.

IGETC Rules by Campus

Each UC campus, program, and major has different rules and requirements for governing IGETC. Check with a counselor, the college website, the assist.org website and/or Campus guidance | UC Admissions (universityofcalifornia.edu) to obtain the most up-to-date information. 

If you have completed substantial coursework from institutions outside the United States, consult a counselor to determine whether you should complete IGETC or the lower-division breadth/general education requirements at the campus you plan to attend. In addition, some transfer students in some colleges or majors must follow a more prescribed lower-division curriculum than IGETC allows. 

UC Berkeley

• College of Chemistry: Completion of IGETC is not required. However, when completed by the end of the spring term before transferring to UC Berkeley, IGETC is accepted in satisfaction of the English Reading and Composition Requirement and the Foreign Language Requirement. IGETC does not necessarily satisfy the entire breadth requirement.
• College of Engineering: IGETC offered at California community colleges is not accepted as completion of breadth.
• College of Environmental Design (CED) and the College of Letters and Science: Completion of the IGETC will satisfy the college’s breadth requirements.
• Rausser College of Natural Resources: IGETC does not fully satisfy lower-division requirements for this major. For some majors, IGETC does satisfy certain breadth requirements. The focus should be on fulfilling specific major's lower-division requirements.
• Haas School of Business: IGETC is not accepted.

UC Davis

• All undergraduate colleges accept IGETC. However, Bachelor of Science degrees and selective majors, IGETC is not recommended; students should focus instead on completing major preparation and taking UC Davis general education pattern courses as time permits.

UC Irvine

• All schools accept IGETC.

UC Los Angeles

• All Schools accept IGETC. However, completion of IGETC is NOT required/encouraged for students applying to the School of Engineering; instead they should focus on lower-division major preparation prior to transfer.
• School of Nursing and the School of Theater, Film and Television: IGETC is required.

UC Merced

• School of Engineering: IGETC is strongly discouraged but accepted; students are encouraged to focus on lower-division major preparation prior to transfer.
• School of Natural Sciences: IGET is not recommended but is accepted; students are encouraged to focus on lower-division major preparation prior to transfer.
• School of Social Sciences, Humanities, and Arts: IGETC is recommended and students are encouraged to complete as much lower-division major preparation as possible prior to transfer.

UC Riverside

• College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, the School of Business Administration, the School of Education, and the School of Public Policy: IGETC is recommended.
• College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences: IGETC is not accepted.

• Revelle College: IGETC does not clear all lower-division GE requirements; students with IGETC are required to complete 3 courses in mathematics and 5 courses in natural science before transfer or while enrolled at UCSD.

UC Santa Barbara

• College of Creative Studies and College of Letters and Science: IGETC is acceptable.
• College of Engineering: Students are encouraged to focus on major preparation rather than general education, but may use IGETC to substitute for general education requirements. 

Please note: Students planning to transfer to UCSB into a major in biological or physical sciences, economics, engineering, computer science, mathematics, statistics, or psychology must be careful to complete lower-division major preparation courses to ensure competitiveness and make normal, timely progress through the major.

UC Santa Cruz

For majors in engineering and physical and biological sciences – IGETC is not recommended. Students should ensure completion of lower-division courses for their intended major, as indicated in the UCSC Catalog and on assist.org.
