HBCU Scholarship 

Your personal insight questions are the essay portion of the UC application, and one of the most important components to your UC application. It allows for you to share information such as your goals, experiences, awards, participation, and any opportunities or obstacles that have affected your academic record.  Our Writing Center, located in the Library, and assists Moorpark College students with feedback and guidance.  You can find information at the Writing Center.

Cal-GETC  (California General Education Transfer Curriculum) This is the new General Education Pattern for students who began attending a California Community College (CCC) Fall 2025 or later, or those who have not maintained catalog rights and are not eligible to use IGETC or CSUGE Breadth.  Students should meet with an academic counselor for additional details.  Cal-GETC will fulfill general education (GE) requirements for the California State University (CSU) or University of California (UC) system and some California private campuses. 

IGETC (Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum) is for students who started at a CCC prior to Fall 2025 and has maintained continuous attendance. This pattern is appropriate for students who intend to transfer to the UC or CSU system. 

CSU GE Breadth is for students who started at a CCC prior to Fall 2025 and is appropriate for students who intend to transfer to a CSU (including Cal Poly’s). 

The Associate Degree for Transfer (AA-T/AS-T) is intended for students who plan to complete a bachelor’s degree in a similar major at a CSU campus. Students completing the AA-T or AS-T are given priority consideration for admission to the CSU system, but not to a particular campus or major. With this degree, students may be given a GPA bump when applying to an impacted campus outside the local area or an impacted major that is deemed similar. Once admitted in a deemed similar degree program, students have the opportunity to complete a bachelor's degree within 60 semester units or 90 quarter units at the university.

In order to earn an AA-T/AS-T degree, students must complete:

1. Completion of 60 semester units that are eligible for transfer to the California State University system.
2. The Cal-GETC pattern (effective fall 2025) or Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) or the California State University General Education - Breadth Requirements - if eligible through catalog rights with continuous college attendance maintained.
3. A minimum of 18 semester units in a major or area of emphasis, as determined by the community college district.
4. A minimum grade point average (GPA) of 2.0.
5. A grade of “C” or better in all courses required for the major or area of emphasis.

Students who have completed an AA-T/AS-T will have a strong academic foundation in the field and will be prepared for upper division baccalaureate study at the university. The coursework will satisfy most of the lower-division requirements at many institutions within the California State University system. Students transferring to a UC, private, or out-of-state university should meet with an academic counselor when planning to complete the degree since transfer requirements may be slightly different than those required for the AA-T/AS-T degree.

To review the AA-T or AS-T options that are deemed similar at the CSU, please review the following website: CSU Associate Degree for Transfer Major & Campus Search.

Students enrolling in a California community college this fall could be eligible for a dual admission program to the California State University.

• Take English and math assessments (for priority registration).
• Watch the Online New Student Orientation (for priority registration).
• If you have not already sent your official outside transcripts, AP, and/or IB scores to our Admissions and Records Office, please bring these documents with you to your appointment.
• Make a list of potential transfer universities and major programs.  It is helpful to have 2-3 in mind.

Each year representatives from four-year colleges and universities from all over the United States visit our campus to recruit MC students. During these visits, university reps are available to meet with you and give you information about their programs, specifics on their admissions process, GPA and course requirements, and tips on what their university is looking for in applicants. You can also ask about housing, parking, food, clubs, class size, etc. Meetings with University Reps are available by appointment only. See our list to discover who is coming and when!

Prior to transferring to your university/college, you may need to submit a Cal-GETC, CSU GE Breadth, or IGETC certification. You will first need to schedule an academic counseling appointment for your petition.  This can be done by calling the Academic Counseling Office at 805-378-1428 or by scheduling an appointment in Starfish.  

Once our Admissions and Records Office has verified your courses and conferred your certification, they will place the certification on your official VCCCD transcript.  You will then order your official VCCCD transcript to be sent to your transfer university/college.  You can find directions at: https://www.moorparkcollege.edu/departments/student-services/admissions-records/official-transcripts.  If you need assistance with your transcript, please contact our Admissions and Records Office at: MCAdmissions@vcccd.edu or Phone 805-378-1429.

Please be aware that if you had sent your official VCCCD transcript to your transfer university/college and the Cal-GETC, CSU GE Breadth, or IGETC certification had not yet been conferred and placed on your official VCCCD transcript, you may need to order another official VCCCD transcript, after it has been completed.

Requesting Your Official Transcript

Courses from all three colleges in our district (Moorpark, Oxnard, and Ventura) are on one District transcript. To request a transcript you must login to the MyVCCCD portal. If you are an alumni and don't have access to MyVCCCD, you can still request a transcript by clicking on the "I do not have access to MyVCCCD" link.  All requests must be submitted by the student to comply with federal privacy law.

If you need assistance with ordering your official transcript, please contact our Admissions and Records Office at: MCAdmissions@vcccd.edu or Phone 805-378-1429.

College GPA Calculations

How do I calculate my College GPA?

To calculate your GPA, follow these steps:

• For each course, assign point values to your grades:
  • A = 4.0
  • B = 3.0
  • C = 2.0
  • D = 1.0
  • F = 0.0
• Sum up all the points you received for each course.
• Divide the total points by the number of courses to get your GPA. 

How do I calculate my semester or cumulative GPA?

For both semester GPA and cumulative GPA, follow the same calculation method:

1. List all courses and their grades.
2. Convert each grade to the corresponding points (A=4.0, B=3.0, etc.).
3. Sum all the points.
4. Divide by the total number of courses. The difference between semester GPA and cumulative GPA is that cumulative GPA includes all courses taken throughout your academic career, while semester GPA is for a specific term.
