Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC)

The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) was a series of courses that prospective California community college (CCC) transfer students could complete to satisfy the lower-division general education requirements at UC Santa Cruz, excluding the upper-division Disciplinary Communication (DC) requirement. As of Fall 2025, IGETC has been replaced with the California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC). UC Santa Cruz still accepts full or partial IGETC certifications from the last CCC a student attended.

For more information about IGETC, visit the UC Admissions IGETC webpage and the IGETC section of the 2025-26 UC Santa Cruz General Catalog.

For more information about Cal-GETC, see the Cal-GETC page for the UCSC General Catalog and the Cal-GETC page for University of California Admissions.
