IGETC - Certificate of Achievement, Level 3

The Certificate of Achievement in Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) is a program that provides students with the option of fulfilling all lower division general education requirements for transferring to the California State University (CSU) and University of California (UC) systems.  

Students must meet all IGETC lower division general education transfer requirements to achieve the Certificate of Achievement. Students may also request certification of the general education upon completion of this Certificate of Achievement.  The Certificate of Achievement will appear on student’s transcripts; however, the certification is a separate request by the student and the student's responsibility to submit to their transfer institution. Students are strongly advised to meet with a counselor to discuss transfer requirements and lower division major preparation that is needed for their intended transfer university.

Although the certificate recognizes the completion of IGETC lower division general education requirements, it does not guarantee admission to a specific campus within the CSU or UC system nor does it guarantee admission to a specific major.  Some majors and colleges may require a different lower division preparation and/or a higher GPA than is necessary for this certificate.  A grade of “C” or better is required in all courses. A “P” (Pass) grade is an acceptable grade for courses in the major or area of emphasis if the course is taken on a “pass/no pass” basis.
