IGETC
Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum
The IGETC is a general education pattern that
community college transfer students can use to fulfill lower-division general
education requirements in the CSU or many colleges in the UC system without the
need to take additional lower-division general education courses after transfer.
It is designed for use by California community college students. California
community college transfers who have completed transfer units at a CSU, UC or
independent college should consult with a counselor to determine IF they are
eligible to use IGETC.
IGETC is not advisable for all students
planning to transfer. The IGETC is only one way to fulfill the lower-division
general education requirements of the UC or CSU. It is not recommended for
certain majors and certain colleges, and some colleges do not accept IGETC.
Students pursuing majors that require extensive lower-division major preparation
may not find the IGETC option to be advantageous and may be better served by
taking courses that fulfill the general education requirements of the UC or CSU
college to which they plan to transfer. The IGETC will probably be most useful
for students who want to keep their options open before making a final decision
about transferring to a particular CSU or UC campus or a particular major. To be
certified under IGETC, the entire pattern must be completed prior to transfer. If
a student does not complete all the breadth and general education requirements
of the IGETC with a grade of “C ” or better before transferring, s/he will be
subject to the regulations regarding breadth and general education requirements
of the school or college of the campus to which they have been admitted.
In rare cases such as illness, unavailable or
cancelled courses, military service or unexpected hardships such as family or
employment problems experienced in the final term before transfer, students may
petition for eligibility to complete IGETC after transfer. A maximum of two
courses may be completed after transfer (these courses may not include any
courses in areas 1 or 2).Students must petition to the DVC department chair of
counseling during the final term before transfer and, if approved, must present
proof of approval when requesting partial certification to the Admissions Of fice
at DVC.
The current list of courses approved for
meeting IGETC is available in the Counseling Center. Check with your counselor
for complete information about whether or not you are eligible for IGETC.
Reminders: Students must request that
the IGETC certification be sent to the four-year campus that they will be
attending. Complete the GE/IGETC request form at the Admissions Office.
CSU and UC applicants must also meet admission,
major, prerequisite, and transferable unit requirements.
