Note: Effective beginning Fall 2005, junior and senior transfers may be admitted to CSU campuses with a grade point average of 2.0 in 60 transferable semester units, completion of a minimum of 30 semester units from CSU-GE Breadth (see preceding page), or completion of all IGETC requirements with grades of “C”, “Pass” (“P”), or “Credit” (“Cr”) or better. Transfer students are highly encouraged to see a counselor every semester in preparation for transfer.
“IGETC is most helpful to students who want to keep their options open – those who know they want to transfer but have not yet decided upon a particular institution, campus or major. Certain students, however, will not be well served by following IGETC. Students who intend to transfer into majors that require extensive lower-division preparation, such as engineering or the physical and natural sciences, should concentrate on completing the many prerequisites for the major that the college screens for to determine eligibility for admission.”

*Courses designated with an asterisk have limited transfer credit. Courses listed in more than one GE area can only be used to fulfill a single area. If you are planning to take any of these courses, you should meet with a Counselor to discuss the limitations on transfer credit.
Make sure you meet with a Counselor to identify how to best meet your General Education transfer requirements.
