Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

The California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal‐GETC) is the singular general education pathway for California Community College (CCC) students to fulfill lower‐division general education requirements necessary for transfer and admission to both the California State University (CSU) and the University of California (UC). Completion of the Cal‐GETC is not an admission requirement or admission guarantee for transfer to the CSU or UC, nor is it the only way to fulfill the lower‐division general education requirements for students at the CSU or UC. However, Cal‐GETC may be a requirement for some programs (e.g., if an ADT is required). Students may choose to complete coursework to meet the CSU or UC campus specific breadth requirements of the university program to which they plan to transfer. All courses taken to meet Cal‐GETC requirements must be completed with a grade of “C” or better. A grade of Credit or Pass may be used if the college’s policy states it is equivalent to a grade of C or better. No more than 14 semester units (21 quarter units) of Pass/No Pass (Credit/No Credit), excluding credit by examination, may be used toward Cal‐GETC certification Although courses may be listed in multiple general education areas (1‐6), a course can be given credit in only one GE subject area. Courses from foreign institutions cannot be used for Cal‐GETC certification, however, international courses can be evaluated at the receiving CSU or UC and applied to their campus‐specific breadth requirements. This advisement sheet can be modified or updated from time to time. All CSU/UC transferable courses can be verified atwww.assist.org Consult with a counselor regarding which catalog year may be most beneficial and appropriate (i.e., if you are eligible to use previous CSU GE Breadth or IGETC patterns). Cal‐GETC policies are governed by the CSU, UC and ICAS. The Articulation Officer has final review and determination of all courses and catalog rights applied toward Cal‐GETC full vertification.

A minimum “C” grade is required in each college course for Cal‐GETC. A “C” is defined as a minimum 2.0 grade points on a 4.0 scale.

Courses with superscripts indicate the year effective (articulated). Courses with superscripts in parentheses indicate the year ineffective (archived). For all effective and ineffective dates of ECC and other California Community College (CCC) courses articulated visit assist.org.
