Students transferring to CSU have the option of completing the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) or the California State University General Education (CSUGE) Certification Pattern.

Students transferring with certification of general education requirements are assured that they have met up to 39 of the 48-unit minimum requirements for the bachelor's degree. Students transferring without certification of general education must complete the pattern of courses required of at the CSU campus. 

NOTE: It is highly recommended that you meet the above deadlines; however, campuses may vary with these deadlines so please see your counselor!

Courses taken at the community college may be used to satisfy general education requirements for graduation from CSU schools. However, such courses must be specifically identified and verified by the community college before they will be recognized by the CSU campus. This process is called certification. Students who complete all of the requirements in Areas A through E of the CSU General Education Certification Pattern are considered to be fully certified by the community college. It should be pointed out that in addition to the community college coursework at least three more general education courses must be completed in the junior/senior years at the CSU campus.

CSU certification must be requested by students when the request for sending their final transcript to the CSU campus is made.
