This certificate is designed for students planning to transfer to a California State University (CSU) or University of California (UC) campus. It ensures that the student has met the lower division Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum requirements for all CSU and UC campuses.

Earning this Certificate of Achievement will not replace the IGETC Certification document. The “Certification of IGETC” is a separate process. Students must request IGETC Certification at the time they request a final WCC transcript to be sent to the UC or CSU school they plan on attending. File this request with the Office of Admissions and Records.
