Intersegmental General Education (IGETC) Certificate of Achievement

A certificate of achievement will be granted to students who complete a minimum of 37 units from areas 1 through 7 of the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) requirements. IGETC requirements are designed to be taken within a major area of concentration and elective courses in preparation for transfer to the University of California (UC) or California State University (CSU) systems.*

To receive this Certificate of Achievement, students should:

  • Review the IGETC pattern sheet in this catalog or available from the Counseling Center.
  • Consult with a counselor to insure students understand and are following all requirements.
  • Receive a grade of C or better is required in ALL coursework used for IGETC certification.
  • Verify through their counselor and www.assist.org that classes taken are approved for IGETC the semester they are taken.
  • Complete at least 3 units in residency at Fullerton College.

Note: Students who receive the IGETC Certificate of Achievement do not need to request separate GE Certification; it will automatically granted and indicated on their transcript if all requirements are met. Note: Completion of the IGETC requirements alone is not enough to make students eligible for admission to a UC or CSU. *Following the IGETC pattern may not always be the best option for students, especially those transferring to highly impacted majors in the UC or CSU system. Please consult with a counselor for details on completing all transfer admission requirements or using course work from other institutions.

PROGRAM CODE: 2C36483

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.

NOTE: Courses appearing in more than one Area may only be counted in one Area with the exception of Area 6

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Students enrolled in high unit majors (i.e., architecture, computer science, engineering, sciences) are frequently recommended not to use IGETC
to meet general education certification but rather to meet transfer admission requirements and complete required lower division major and
support courses. See your counselor to develop an academic educational plan.

It is recommended that all IGETC requirements be completed prior to transfer. If you are unable to complete one or two IGETC courses in the
final term before transfer, you may be eligible to complete IGETC after transfer, providing that those courses are not among those required for
admission. See your counselor for more information.

Certification is not automatic, and must be requested after the completion of the last term prior to transfer. This request should be made in
the Admissions and Records Office.
