# Indicates that transfer credit may be limited by either UC or CSU or both. Please see www.assist.org and consult with a
counselor for additional information.
Completion of all the requirements in the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) with grades
of "C" or better will permit a student to transfer from a California community college to a campus in either the California
State University (CSU) or the University of California (UC) system without the need after transfer to take additional
lower-division general education courses. (Note exception: Students transferring to UC San Diego's Eleanor
Roosevelt and Revelle Colleges may complete IGETC, but they must also meet specific general education
requirements of those colleges.) It should be noted that completion of the IGETC is not a requirement for admission to
the CSU or UC system. However to meet minimum transfer admission eligibility students may need to complete all of
Area 1 and Area 2; check with a counselor regarding the difference between minimum admission eligibility
requirements and general education.
Associate Degrees for Transfer (ADs-T) to CSU: It is possible to fulfill the requirements for an AD-T by completing
the IGETC pattern for UC transfer. However, students completing an AD-T and transferring to a CSU requires full
completion of Areas 1 through 5 including Group 1C: Oral Communication course. See a counselor for more transfer
and AD-T information.
The IGETC is not advisable for all transfer students. The IGETC is most advantageous for transfers who have not yet
decided on a major or campus. Once a student has identified a major, it is important to give priority toward fulfilling all
required major preparation courses, particularly in professional or "high unit" majors that select applicants on the basis
of satisfaction of lower division major requirements. If a student is pursuing a major that requires extensive lower-
division preparation, they may be better served by taking courses which fulfill the CSU General Education/Breadth
requirements or the general education of the specific UC campus or college to which they plan to transfer, examples of
such majors include, but are NOT LIMITED to: Engineering, Business Administration, Computer Science, Pre-
professional schools and Sciences.
Restrictions: A student who is initially enrolled at a UC and is returning to the same UC campus (after attending a
community college) is considered a "readmit" and cannot use IGETC. However, students who initially enroll at a UC,
attend a community college and return to a different UC campus, may be able to use IGETC, but should check with a
Laney counselor or the campus they wish to attend. This restriction does not apply to students who have taken UC
summer session or Extension classes only. Students initially enrolled at a CSU and then return to the same CSU
campus (after attending a community college) should be directed to that campus for questions regarding the use of
IGETC. (There is no CSU system-wide policy on this issue.)
IGETC Certification: Laney College, Peralta Community College District, can certify either full certification (completion
of all requirements in each subject-area) or partial certification: a maximum of two courses may be deferred and
completed after transfer; Areas 1 and 2 must be completed prior to transfer. Note: UC Berkeley’s College of Letters &
Science requires full IGETC certification for all majors.
Official transcripts of any coursework completed outside Peralta District must be on file prior or accompany the
certification request. Courses taken at other California Community Colleges will be placed in the IGETC area identified
by the offering college the term the course was taken. Courses taken at other colleges/universities may be used if the
course content meets the IGETC area standards.
Students should request certification when a final transcript is requested to be sent to their choice of UC or CSU
(campus where admission has been accepted), the term prior to transfer. The "Request for GE Certification" form is
available from a counselor or the Admissions & Records Office and can be filed in the Admissions and Records Office.
Once certification is completed student records (transcript) will reflect the full or partial certification of IGETC
Completion. Students are encouraged to see a counselor by appointment to discuss transfer and the IGETC option as
part of an education plan. Counselors are available by appointment through the Counseling Office located on the 3
rd
Floor, Laney Tower or call (510) 464-3152 or 464-3153. 5/2019
