SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES

1. A single course, even though listed in more than one place, can only be used to satisfy one subject area of the IGETC.

2. IGETC is not advisable for high-unit majors, e.g. sciences, engineering.

3. Eleanor Roosevelt and Revelle Colleges at UC San Diego do not accept the IGETC.

4. IGETC may not be appropriate for students who have completed courses at a CSU or UC campus.

5. "Double counting" of courses toward the major is not limited by the IGETC, but is limited by other directives. The UC will also allow IGETC courses to count toward major requirements. CSU campus limitations on double-counting of general education courses toward major preparation are not changed by the IGETC.

6. If you are transferring to a UC campus, the UC Transfer Course Agreement lists unit limitations that might apply to the courses you have selected.

7. Courses used to meet IGETC requirements may not also be used to satisfy the "American History and Institutions Requirement" at CSU. See Transfer Center handout for clarification.

8. Completion of Area 1C (CSU) and/or Area 6A (UC) must be completed for certification.
