Transfer to the University of California (UC)
Transfer to the University of California (UC)
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 30 percent 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 regular session (fall, winter, or spring) at a college or university after high school. A student who meets this definition cannot disregard his or her college record and apply as a freshman. 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.
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. No more than 14 semester (21 quarter) units of the 60 semester (90 quarter) units may be taken pass-no-pass, or credit/no credit basis, unless the student is transferring from a college or university that awards only Pass credit.
NOTE: Students should visit www.assist.org to make sure their courses are approved for UC transfer.
2. Earn at least a 2.4 GPA in UC-transferable courses (2.8 for non-California residents). Some campuses and majors require a higher GPA for admission selection.
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. 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, spring).
4. 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 or better in each course or a Pass (P) grade if pass is equivalent to a C (2.00).
- Two UC transferable college courses (3 semester or 4-5 quarter units each) in English composition.
- One UC transferable college course (3 semester or 4-5 quarter units) in mathematical concepts and quantitative reasoning;
- Four transferable college courses (3 semester or 4-5 quarter units each) chosen from at least two of the following subject areas:
- Arts and Humanities
- Social and Behavioral Sciences
- Physical and Biological Sciences
5. Complete the required/recommended courses need for your intended major with the minimum grades.
Additionally, AP exams with scores of 3, 4, or 5 can be used to meet minimum requirements. Please note: Only one of the two English composition/literature courses required can be met with an exam score.
Temporary Modifications to Transfer Admission Requirements Due to COVID-19
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, UC approved the following temporary modifications to transfer admission requirements. These modifications pertain to students enrolled in a college or university during the specific terms mentioned below, regardless of when those students plan to transfer to UC. Additional information about UC’s COVID-19 response related to undergraduate admission can be found at admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/response-covid-19.html.
- UC temporarily suspended the cap on Pass/No Pass (P/ NP) and Credit/No Credit (CR/NC) units applied toward the minimum 60 semester/90 quarter units required for junior standing. Courses that were taken with P/NP or CR/NC grading in the winter, spring, and summer terms of 2020 will not count toward UC’s limit of 14 semester/21 quarter transferable units, regardless of when the student applies for admission.
- All undergraduate campuses agreed to accept P or CR grades for admission purposes in major preparatory courses completed in spring 2020 for all majors, as long as the P or CR grade is equivalent to a C (2.0) or better.
- Exception: The Psychology and Cognitive Science majors at UC Santa Cruz continued to require letter grades in all major preparatory courses.
- At UC Berkeley, all colleges agreed to accept P or CR grades (equivalent to at least a C [2.0] grade) in general education/breadth and major preparation courses completed in winter/spring 2020 for students applying for fall 2022.
- At UC Davis, all colleges agreed to accept P or CR grades (equivalent to at least a C [2.0] grade) in general education/breadth and major preparation courses completed in winter/spring 2020.
- UC Irvine, UCLA, and UC Riverside agreed to accept P or CR grades (equivalent to at least a C [2.0] grade) for courses completed in winter, spring and summer 2020.
Please refer to each campus’s website for any additional campus-specific modifications taken in response to COVID-19
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.
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 most common lower-division pre-major preparation courses required for the 21 most popular 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.
Notes: As of May 2022, UC will accept IGETC for STEM for the associate degrees for transfer (ADT) in Biology, Chemistry, or Environmental Science. 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.
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.
These Pathways, created by UC faculty and academic leaders, outline a single set of lower-division, pre-major preparation courses that will prepare transfer students for a particular major at any of the university's nine undergraduate campuses, and position a greater number of students to graduate from UC within two years after they transfer.
Below are the available majors for the Transfer Pathways:
- 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
- Sociology
Each pathway outlines the set of courses students should take to be competitive across the UC system. Some campuses and majors listed may want fewer courses for admission, but none will expect 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. You can read more about the UC Transfer Pathways. Students are strongly encouraged to apply to multiple campuses to improve their chances of admission.
Pathways+ combines the most attractive aspects of both TAG and Transfer Pathways: the security of an admissions guarantee to one of six TAG campuses, plus strong major preparation for any campus offering the Pathways major. Pathways+ provides students with a solid foundation for academic success and timely degree completion after transfer. A student who submits a TAG and completes the pathway pre-major courses and general education courses with a satisfactory GPA will be guaranteed admission to the TAG campus and well-prepared for junior-level transfer to other UC campuses in that major and 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 on Pathways+, visit the Pathway+ website.
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), second baccalaureate degrees, or 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 to California community college (CCC) students who meet specific requirements. 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?
Students who have already earned a bachelor's degree, graduate degree, and/or professional degree cannot receive a TAG. Students who have previously enrolled at a UC campus during a regular term (not including summer session) cannot submit a TAG application to return to that same campus. Students concurrently enrolled in high school are not eligible for TAG.
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.
Limitations on Transfer Credit
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.
- 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.
a. 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. See Temporary Modifications to Transfer Admission Requirements due to COVID-19, 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; or College- Level Examination Program (CLEP), or DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSST) exams.
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.
6. Independent Study and Variable topics 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 Tutorial.
7. UC does not grant credit for variable topics courses in Journalism, Photography, Health, Business Administration, Architecture, Administration of Justice (Criminology) or Library Departments because of credit restrictions in these areas:
- One course is allowed for credit in the areas of Health, First Aid, Business Law, College Success and Library Studies
8. International Academic Records
UC does not grant credit for 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.
9. Elementary/Intermediate (lower-division) language course
No credit is granted to students who were instructed in that language during secondary school.
9. Honors Courses
Duplicate credit will not be awarded for both the honors and regular versions of a course. Credit will only be awarded to the first course completed with a grade of C or better.
10. 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.
11. English as a Second Language Courses (ESL/ELD)
A maximum of 8 semester (12 quarter) units will earn transfer credit
12. 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 have curriculum 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.
- 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.
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 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.
University of California Transfer Course Agreement (UC TCA) 2022–2023
This agreement lists courses transferable for unit credit at all UC campuses. Although all courses that appear on this chart have been approved as transferable to the UC system, how they are applied may vary from campus to campus. Students should go to assist.org and research their intended major. New courses added to the TCA or removed after this catalog was published can also be found on assist.org. A list of courses that fulfill General Education requirements at all UC campuses can be found on the IGETC Certificate of Achievement Requirements page. All students planning to apply to the UC should also consult a college counselor in the Counseling Office or the University Transfer Center.
Honors Course Credit Information: Duplicate credit will not be awarded for both the honors and the regular versions of a course. Credit will be awarded only to the first course completed with a grade of "C" or better. Last update June 2022.

Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) 2022–2023
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.

What is IGETC?
The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) is a series of courses that prospective transfer students attending California community colleges (CCC) may complete to satisfy the lower-division breadth/general education requirements at both the University of California (UC) and the California State University (CSU). Many independent, private and out-of-state colleges and universities will also accept the IGETC.
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 CCC transfer students. A student may be IGETC certified if they have completed coursework at a CCC(s) without regard to current enrollment status or the number of units accrued at a CCC.
Students who 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 this issue. Questions regarding the use of IGETC for a student who has recently been enrolled at a CSU should be directed to the specific campus the student wishes to attend.
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 who intend to transfer into majors that require extensive lower-division preparation, such as engineering or the biological, physical and natural sciences should first concentrate on completing the many prerequisites for the major while meeting minimum admission requirements.
What is IGETC for STEM?
The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) for Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM) is comprised of courses taught at California Community Colleges (CCC) that satisfy specific areas of general education. This option will apply only for majors in which the Transfer Model Curriculum (TMC) explicitly indicates the availability of the option.
Students Eligible to use the IGETC for STEM
- Students preparing for a major in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) are eligible. IGETC for STEM allows students to concentrate on the lower division math and science courses required for a STEM major; and
- If it is impossible for students to complete major preparation coursework and IGETC or CSU GE Breadth without going over 60 units prior to transfer.
IGETC for STEM is applicable only to majors in which the TMC explicitly indicates the availability of the option. As of May 2020, only Chemistry, Biology, and Environmental Science allow for IGETC for STEM. A current list of associate degrees for transfer (ADTs) that allow for use of IGETC for STEM can be found at www.c-id.net.
Alternatively, STEM students may complete the traditional IGETC. However, IGETC and IGETC for STEM Majors may not be appropriate for those colleges or majors which prefer that transfer students follow a more prescribed lower-division curriculum.
Is IGETC or IGETC for STEM an Admission Requirement?
Completion of the IGETC or IGETC for STEM is not an admission requirement or admission guarantee for transfer to CSU or UC, nor is it the only way to fulfill the lower-division, general education requirements for CSU or UC prior to transfer. However, it may be a requirement for some programs. Students may also choose to complete coursework to meet the campus general education requirements of the university to which they plan to transfer. Depending on a student's major, the student may find it advantageous to take courses fulfilling CSU's general education requirements or those of the UC campus or college to which the student plans to transfer.
Courses Appropriate for IGETC
All 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. It is not acceptable to take three 1 unit courses to fulfill a 3 unit requirement because of the lack of depth or rigor.
Exception: 3-quarter unit Math and English courses that satisfy IGETC Area/s 1A or 2 may be applied if they are a part of a sequence, and at least two of the 3-quarter unit sequence courses have each been completed with “C” grade (2.0 on a 4.0 scale) or higher. The course sequence must meet the rigor of IGETC standards.
Grade Requirement for IGETC
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−” grade valued at less than 2.0 grade points on a 4.0 scale cannot be used for IGETC certification. Exception: For the UC Language Other Than English (LOTE) requirement, Area 6A, the University of California does not count “minus” or “plus” grades for high school coursework, only the whole grade is used. In other words, a “C−” grade is counted as a “C”
Credit/No Credit-Pass/No Pass
Courses in which a student receives a “Credit/Pass” grade may be certified for IGETC if the community college’s policy states that a “Credit/Pass” designation is equivalent to a “C” grade (2.0 grade points on a 4.0 scale) or better. It is important to keep in mind that some CSU and UC campuses may have limitations on the number of “Credit/No Credit” (“Pass/No Pass”) courses that may be used to meet degree requirements. The UC system allows a maximum of 14 semester (21 quarter) units graded “Pass/No Pass” (Credit/ No Credit) basis of the 60 UC transferable semester units required for admission.
There is no system-wide policy for CSU campuses. Therefore, each campus has established its own policy on limitations of courses transferred with grades of “Credit/Pass”. The information is updated annually and is available on Community College Guidance - Incoming Transfer website.
California Community College Courses
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.
All United States Regionally Accredited Institutions
Coursework from all other United States regionally accredited institutions should be 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
Distance education is defined in the California Community College (CCC) Code of Regulations Title 5, Chapter 6, Subchapter 3, Section 55200. Distance education means instruction in which the instructor and student are separated by time and/or distance and interact through the assistance of technology (including correspondence 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. The same scrutiny should be applied when reviewing these courses as when reviewing other non-CCC courses (see Section 5.2 for guidelines).
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/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) Higher Level exams as specified in the latest version of the IGETC Standards Policies and Procedures Manual.
NOTES:
- An acceptable score on an AP English exam may be used to meet the English composition requirement, but not the critical thinking/ English composition requirement.
- There is no limit on the number of AP/IB exams that can be applied to the IGETC and may be used regardless of when the exam was taken. However, students who have earned credit from AP and/or IB 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.
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.
College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
The UC does not award unit credit for College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and therefore cannot be used for IGETC certification. However, the CSU has a system-wide policy for CLEP exams and awarding transfer credit for admission based on these exams. The CSU policy for CLEP can be found at https://calstate.policystat.com/policy/10711339/latest/.
Certification of IGETC
Moorpark College offers Full and Partial Certification of the IGETC. Students who have completed coursework at more than one 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
Completion of the IGETC will permit a student to transfer from a California Community College to a California State University (CSU) or a 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. It is strongly recommended that students complete IGETC prior to transfer.
Advantages of completing IGETC include more flexibility in class selection at the university and timely progress to degree completion. All UC and CSU campuses will accept the completed IGETC to satisfy all lower-division general education requirements. 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 is found on the following website:https://admission.universityofcalifornia. edu/admission-requirements/transfer-requirements/general-educationigetc/igetc/campus-guidance.html. It is the student’s responsibility to request IGETC Certification in the Counseling Office.
Partial Certification
Students who do not complete IGETC before transferring will be required to satisfy the specific lower-division general education/ breadth requirements of the UC school they plan to attend. However, California community colleges (CCC) may grant partial certification of IGETC to students who are missing no more than two courses. Students should verify that their UC school/college/major program will accept partial certification. Students submitting partial IGETC certification should work with the transfer institution to determine how the missing courses/ can be completed requirements. Students who have been granted partial IGETC certification should not return to the community college for full certification.
Consult with a counselor and/or the school website to see if a specific UC accepts partial certification for the intended major.
The following UC have indicated their acceptance and/or conditions of partial certification:
- Berkeley – does not accept partial IGETC certification.
- Davis – all colleges accept partial IGETC certification
- Irvine - all schools accept partial IGETC certification
- Los Angeles – all schools, except School of Engineering and Applied Science, School of Nursing, and School of Theater, Film and Television.

- Riverside – all colleges, except the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences, accept partial IGETC certification
- San Diego – all colleges accept partial IGETC certification
- Santa Barbara - all colleges accept partial IGETC certification
- Santa Cruz - all schools accept partial IGETC certification
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 major in science, engineering or mathematics (STEM) may complete up to three courses after transfer. UC will accept IGETC for STEM if the UC school, college or major program to which the student transfers accepts partial IGETC certification.
Courses Must be Completed Before Transfer
For IGETC for STEM certification, the following IGETC Courses and Areas should be completed before transfer:
- All courses in Areas 1 (except 1C for UC-bound students), Area 2, and Area 5 of the traditional IGETC; and
- One course in Area 3A; one course in Area 3B; and two courses in Area 4 from two different disciplines.
Courses Must be Completed After Transfer
For IGETC for STEM certification, the following courses 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;* and
- One course in Area 6 for UC-bound students who have not satisfied it through proficiency.*
*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 at 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 for STEM for UC
UC will accept IGETC for STEM if the UC school/college/major program to which the student transfers accepts partial IGETC certification. For information on the IGETC acceptance practices for each UC school/college/major program, please go to https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/admission-requirements/transferrequirements/ glossary.html.
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.
UC will accept IGETC for STEM if the UC school/college/major program to which the student transfers accepts partial IGETC certification. For information on the IGETC acceptance practices for each UC school/college/major program check with a counselor, the college website, the assist.org website and/or Glossary | UC Admissions (universityofcalifornia.edu).
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
