Description:

See Cal-GETC worksheet for additional information

The California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC) Certificate of Achievement is designed for students planning to transfer to either the California State University (CSU) or University of California (UC) system. It offers students a program of study which meets Cal-GETC general education transfer requirements. Although the certificate recognizes the completion of Cal-GETC general education requirements, it does not guarantee admission to a specific campus within the CSU or UC system nor does it guarantee admission to a specific major. Some majors and colleges may require a different lower division preparation and/or a higher GPA than is necessary for this certificate. Students are strongly advised to meet with a counselor to discuss transfer requirements and lower division major preparation that is needed for their intended transfer school.
