The California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC)
The Cal-GETC General Education Pattern: CCC and CSU students with continuous enrollment prior to Fall 2025 can continue to complete the CSU GE or the IGETC pattern or may elect to complete Cal-GETC but is not required. A new student whose first term of enrollment is Summer 2025 may follow either the 2024-2025 California State University General Education Breadth (CSU GE) requirement or the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC). Fall 2025 and thereafter students who do have continuous enrollment must complete Cal-GETC. Students from UC, in-state-private and/or out of-state-institutions must complete Cal-GETC.
Completion of the CAL-GETC will permit a student to complete their lower division G.E. requirements to either the California State University (CSU) or University of California (UC) system. Courses on this list are approved for the academic year 2026-2025 which begins Fall Semester, 2026. This list is valid through Summer 2027. It should be noted that completion of the CAL-GETC is not a requirement for transfer to CSU or UC, nor is it the only way to fulfill the lower-division general education requirements of the CSU or UC prior to transfer.
All Cal-GETC courses must be completed with a grade of "A," "B," "C," or "Pass." For courses graded as "Pass," students are allowed a limited number of units. It is preferable to avoid taking CAL-GETC Area 1 and Area 2 courses on a Pass/No Pass basis, and Pass grades should certainly not be used for major preparation courses.
