Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum Counseling Form

Name:(please print) / SSN:

Read first: Important information regarding the appropriate use of the IGETC Counseling Form.

  1. Completion of all of the requirements in the IGETC will permit a student to transfer from a community college to a campus in either the California State University or the University of California system and to some Independent Colleges and Universities without the need, after transfer, to take additional lower-division general education courses.
  2. The IGETC is not advisable for all transfer students (See bottom reverse side for list).
  3. Transfer students pursuing a major that requires extensive lower-division preparation may be better served by taking courses which fulfill the CSU General Education-Breadth Requirements or those of the UC Campus or college to which they plan to transfer.
  4. All requirements must be completed before IGETC can be certified. If you are approaching readiness for transfer and, for good cause,are unable to complete one or two IGETC courses (in Areas 3, 4,or 5) you may be eligibleto complete IGETC after transferring (See a counselor for details).
  5. All courses must be completed with minimum grades of “CR” or “C” or better.
  6. Transcripts to verify courses completed at other college must be submitted prior to certification and can only be certified in the IGETC category determined by the original college (See #8 regarding high school transcripts).
  7. Courses taken at foreign institutions will not be permitted for IGETC certification except in the Area Language Other Than English.
  8. If the Foreign Language Requirement was satisfied in high school, the student’s official high school transcript must be submitted prior to certification.
  9. Coursework completed for the IGETC will be honored for certification provided that the courses were on the college’s approved IGETC list at the time the course was completed (See a counselor for further information).
  10. Students who initially enroll at a UC campus, leave and attend a community college, then plan to return to the SAME UC campus can not use IGETC (Consult a counselor for detailed information).
  11. Be sure to request IGETC certification when you request final transcripts to be sent to your choice of university or college.
