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 University of California system without the need to take additional lower-division general education courses. Transfer students will receive certification for all their general education requirements only after completing all of the subject areas listed below with a “C” grade or better in each course.

PLEASE NOTE: IGETC Certification represents only a portion of the 60 total units that students must complete before transferring. In addition, some University of California schools require that students complete specific course work in a major before transfer, and some majors require a higher grade point average than designated for general admission. Therefore, a student may also reference the California Articulation database at www.assist.org for information on major requirements and course articulation. See a Rio Hondo counselor for further explanation and planning materials.
