The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) Certificate of Achievement allows students to complete Certification of General Education Requirements for the University of California (UC) system. To meet general education requirements and obtain certification, students must complete the pattern of courses in the categories listed. Certification is not automatic. Students must apply for GE certification through the Admissions and Records Office by the published deadline during the semester in which requirements will be completed or thereafter. The course must be on the IGETC GE list when it is taken in order to be certified. Students should refer to the Fullerton College IGETC (Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum) GE-Breadth Certification List on www.assist.org to verify that a course was valid when it was taken. A course or sequence of courses used to satisfy a requirement in one area may not be used to satisfy a requirement in another area. Some universities will not allow students to count courses in their major field as part of general education. Students should check with a counselor and review the university catalog for further clarification. There are two options within this certificate, a student may choose a course from Area 1C (to prepare for CSU transfer) or satisfy the UC Foreign Language Requirement (to prepare for UC transfer). This certificate requires a total of 38-51 semester units in courses from the areas listed below.
