2024-2025 Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum Requirements
Completion of the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) requirements permits students to transfer from a California Community College to a California State University (CSU) or University of California (UC) campus without the need to take additional lower-division courses to satisfy campus general education requirements after they transfer. All courses must be completed with a grade of "C" or better.
Courses that are listed in more than one area may only be used to satisfy the requirements in a single area, except in Area 5.
IGETC is not appropriate for certain majors and/or campuses. Consult a counselor before choosing IGETC to fulfill general education/breadth requirements to make sure that it is an appropriate choice. Make an appointment with a counselor before transferring to have your IGETC certified.
Visit assist.org for major preparation coursework required. Courses with the same designator and the same number at other Los Rios Colleges may not have the same IGETC approval – consult a counselor.

Minimum Requirements to Transfer to UC With Junior Standing
- Complete 60 semester (90 quarter) units of UC-transferable coursework with a grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.4 (2.8 if you are a nonresident). No more than 14 semester (21 quarter) units may be taken Pass/No Pass.
- Complete the following course pattern requirements with a grade of "C" or better in each course:
- Two UC-transferable college courses (3 semester or 4 to 5 quarter units) in English composition. Courses from IGETC areas 1A and 1B fulfill this requirement.
- One UC-transferable college course (3 semester or 4 to 5 quarter units) in mathematical concepts and quantitative reasoning. Courses from IGETC area 2A fulfill this requirement.
- Four UC-transferable college courses (3 semester or 4 to 5 quarter units each) chosen from at least two of the following subject areas. Courses from IGETC areas 3, 4, and 5 and other UC-transferable courses fulfill this requirement.
- Arts and Humanities
- Social and Behavioral Sciences
- Physical and Biological Sciences
- Each course must be worth at least 3 semester or 4 to 5 quarter units.
- Meeting these requirements does not guarantee admission to the campus or major of your choice. Many campuses and majors receive more applications than they have spaces available. To be competitive, you should work toward meeting the specific requirements for the campuses and majors you are interested in.
- Visit assist.org to make sure that every course you take is UC-transferable and helps you make progress toward your transfer goals.
Minimum Requirements to Transfer to CSU With Junior Standing
- Complete 60 semester (90 quarter) CSU-transferable units. It helps to complete lower-division major requirements. These requirements can be found at assist.org.
- Be in good standing at the last college or university you attended.
- Complete at least 30 units of CSU General Education requirements (CSU GE Breadth or IGETC) with a grade of "C" or better. These must include one of the following:
- CSU GE Breadth areas A1, A2, A3, and B4
- IGETC areas 1A, 1B, 1C, and 2A
It is important to choose a major early and to take lower-division major courses to transfer to either a CSU or UC campus. You can find the appropriate courses to take for your major at assist.org.
Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate
Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) examinations can be used to meet certain IGETC requirements. Learn more:
IGETC for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)
The IGETC for STEM pattern is designed for students pursuing an associate degree for transfer (ADT degree) that specifies this specific GE pattern. UC campuses will accept IGETC for STEM only if the student is earning an ADT degree and the UC campus and major accepts partial IGETC certification. IGETC for STEM is the same as the IGETC pattern listed in this document with the following differences.
Complete the following courses before transfer:
- All courses in Areas 1 (except 1C for UC-bound students), Area 2, Area 5, and Area 7
- One course in Area 3A (Arts); one course in Area 3B (Humanities)
- One course in Area 4 (Social and Behavioral Sciences)
