IGETC City College of San Francisco

Courses Approved for Certification of IGETC for

Transfer to California State University and University of California
AUGUST 2010 - JULY 2011 ONLY

Completion of all the requirements in the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (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 without the need, after transfer, to take additional lower-division, general education courses to satisfy
campus general education requirements.

Check with your counselor to determine if you may use IGETC or if you must follow the UC campus specific requirements
for your particular major. There may be some limitations on transferable credit, particularly with UC. Check www.assist.org,
UC Transferable Courses, for more information on credit limitations.

ALL courses must be completed with a grade of “C” or better. While some courses are listed in more than one area, they can
be certified for ONE only, with the exception of Area 6 Language Other Than English.

To use courses taken at other colleges to meet IGETC requirements, check with your counselor. Advanced Placement (AP)
test credit may also be applied to IGETC (see chart on back).
