To be awarded an Associate Degree for UC Transfer, a student must:
- Achieve a grade of “C” or better in the major requirements.
- Complete the 16-20 units of required IGETC General Education courses listed in the catalog for this program. The remaining IGETC General Education courses can be completed at the transfer University of California campus.
Have a minimum grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0 in all UC-transferable work. Students are required to complete the degree with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.5 in UC transferable coursework to obtain a guarantee of admission to the University of California system.
