Moreno Valley College

Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) 2023-2024

For Transfer to CSU and UC
Completion of the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) will permit a student to transfer from a community college to a campus in either
the California State University (CSU) or University of California (UC) system without the need to take additional lower-division general education courses. For
certain majors at some of the UC campuses it may be more advantageous to complete a campus-specific general education pattern. IGETC certification is valid for
community college transfer students only. Those who have already transferred to the CSU/UC systems may under some circumstances return to Moreno Valley
College to complete IGETC requirements. A course can only be certified if it was approved for IGETC when it was taken.
Note: Riverside City College and Norco College are separate colleges and the courses that are approved for IGETC may vary. Students who wish to take
courses at another institution and apply them towards IGETC should always first consult with a counselor to make sure the course will fulfill the intended
requirement.
It is the students responsibility to request IGETC certification when requesting official transcripts. All subject area courses below must be completed
with a grade of "C" or higher (A grade of "C-" is not acceptable).

HIS-14 African American History I (Same as HIS-14) government. Students who have completed ETS/POL-23, or who have

HIS-31 Introduction to Chicano/a Studies (Same as ETS-2) or who have taken a U.S. government class at an out-of-state institution may
HIS-34 History of Women in America have fulfilled the U.S. government requirement but will still need to fulfill the
California state and local government in order to graduate from the CSU.

New CSU GE Ethnic Studies requirement - Beginning in Fall 2021 the CSU has implemented an Ethnic Studies requirement, which is now CSU GE area F.
Currently at Moreno Valley College ETS/HIS 14, ETS/HIS 15, ETS/POL-21 and 23 are approved to satisfy this requirement. See the 21-22 CSU GE pattern and
consult with a counselor for complete details.
IGETC Advisement: Former UC, CSU and students with coursework from other four-year institutions, including outside the U.S., should consult with a
counselor to determine whether they should complete IGETC or the lower-division general education requirements at the campus they plan to attend.
For the UC: Students who initially enroll at a UC campus, then leave and attend a California Community College, and subsequently return to the same UC campus, are
considered “re-admits” by the UC. Such students cannot use IGETC. However, students who enroll at a UC campus, then leave and attend a California Community
College, and subsequently return to a different UC campus may use the IGETC pattern. It is recommended that students meet with a counselor to discuss possible
further IGETC limitations.

Notes:
1. * Courses cannot be double-counted to satisfy more than one area, even if a course is listed in more than one area. The only exceptions to this are
several courses in Area 6A – Language Other Than English, which can also be counted towards area 3B.
2. ** UC limits transfer credit for some courses. Students may review the UC Transfer Course Agreement (TCA) with a counselor for information
on course limitations.
3. A grade of “P” in approved coursework taken as Pass/No Pass through RCCD is acceptable for IGETC certification. It is important to keep in
mind that some CSU and UC campuses may have limitations on the number of “Credit/No Credit” (“Pass/No Pass”) courses that may be used to
meet degree requirements. The UC system allows a maximum of 14 semester units graded “Pass/No Pass” (Credit/No Credit) basis
of the 60 transferable semester units required for admission. There is no system-wide policy for CSU campuses. Therefore, each campus has
established its own policy on limitations of courses transferred with grades of “Credit/Pass”.
4. Some of the UC campuses do not accept or recommend IGETC for certain majors, (i.e. Engineering, Sciences). Students should consult with a
counselor to determine the most appropriate general education pattern for their major and intended transfer institution. For updated
information about IGETC limitations visit:
https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/admission-requirements/transfer-requirements/general-education-igetc/igetc/campus-guidance.html
5. It is highly recommended to make an appointment with a counselor to complete a student educational plan (SEP).
6. IGETC area 7 is effective for students beginning in Fall 2023 or later. Students in prior enrollment may choose pre Fall 2023 IGETC without
area 7.

IGETC for STEM - Students pursuing certain Associate Degrees for Transfer may be eligible to complete IGETC
for STEM, deferring two to three lower-division GE courses until after transfer. IGETC for STEM is applicable only to
majors in which the Transfer Model Curriculum explicitly indicates the availability of the option. At Moreno Valley
College, currently only the ADT in Biology is eligible for IGETC for STEM.

"IGETC for STEM" certification as part of an Associate Degree for Transfer in Biology would require:

Complete the following courses before transfer:

• All courses in Areas 1, 2, 5, and 7 of the traditional IGETC; and

• One course in Area 3A; one course in Area 3B; and one course in Area 4 (the second area 4 course will
eventually need to be from a different discipline).
Complete the following courses after transfer:
• One remaining lower-division general education course in Area 3;*
• One remaining lower-division general education course in Area 4 (in a different discipline from the first
area 4 course);* and

• One course in Area 6 for UC-bound students who have not satisfied it through proficiency.*

*These deferred lower division courses must be replaced with calculus and/or science courses required by the major
before transfer.
