semester units is required for transfer. You will need to complete additional coursework in your major and maybe some
elective courses. Please see a counselor to develop an Educational Plan so you can reach your goals.
A minimum “C” grade is required in each college course for IGETC. A “C” is defined as a minimum 2.0 grade
points on a 4.0 scale.

AREA 7 – CSU GRADUATION REQUIREMENT IN U.S. HISTORY, CONSTITUTION & AMERICAN IDEALS –
(CSU Requirement only)
Not part of IGETC, but may be completed prior to transfer. For IGETC certification purposes, courses used to satisfy this
CSU graduation requirement may also be used to satisfy IGETC Subject Areas 3 and/or 4. However, if a course(s) is used to
satisfy both an IGETC subject-area requirement and the CSU United States History, Constitution and American Ideals
graduation requirement, some CSU campuses may require students to take an additional course(s) after transfer. CSUN will
NOT require an additional course(s). Other CSU campuses should be consulted directly regarding their policy.
*This requirement may be met before or after transfer to the CSU.
* If a course is approved for more than one US Area, a student may use the course to satisfy all areas listed.

IGETC Policy and Information
(See the Transfer Center website for the full Pierce College IGETC policy)
•
To be certified all courses must be completed with a grade of “C” or better. A grade of “CR” (credit) or “P” (pass) may
be used if the grading policy of the community college states that “CR” or “P” is equivalent to a grade of “C” or better.
The UC will allow no more than 14 semester units taken CR/P toward UC eligibility or IGETC.
• Courses may be used only once to satisfy one IGETC subject area, even if they are listed in the course agreement
under more than one subject area. Courses may be used to satisfy both IGETC and major requirements.
• Warning: Many students attend multiple California Community College campuses. If that’s you, be sure to follow
the IGETC at each college of attendance. IGETC policy states that IGETC coursework completed in a specific
subject area will be used in the area designated by the California Community College at which the course was
completed. This is also the policy if you complete courses at more than one of the LACCD campuses. You must
follow the IGETC of each campus you attend.
• UC LOTE Area 6: IGETC Standards 10.6.1: Additional mechanisms to demonstrate competency: (1) Satisfactory
completion, with “C” grades or better, of two years of formal schooling at the sixth grade level or higher in an
institution where the language of instruction is not English; (2) AP, IB as indicated below; (3) SAT language scores
(see counselor); (4) achievement test approved by community college, or faculty verification of competency (see
counselor). Verification as indicated in Reference: IGETC V 1.2.
• When combining quarter and semester unit values within an IGETC area, units shall be converted to either all quarter
units or all semester units to best serve the student.
ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP)
The following Advanced Placement examinations may be incorporated into certification of completion of IGETC
requirements by any participating institution.
•
•
A score of 3, 4, or 5 is required to grant credit for IGETC certification. An acceptable AP score for IGETC equates to 3 semester
units for certification purposes. Each AP exam may be applied to one IGETC area as satisfying one course requirement, with the
exception of Language other Than English (LOTE). Students who have earned credit from an AP exam should not take a
comparable college course because transfer credit will not be granted for both
Students earning scores of 3, 4, or 5 in the physical and biological science AP examinations earn credit toward IGETC Area 5 and
meet the IGETC laboratory activity requirement. AP exams in Biology, Chemistry, or Physics B allow CCC campuses to apply 4
semester units to IGETC certification. For Environmental Science, Physics C: Mechanics and Physics C: Electricity/Magnetism, 3
semester units are applied for IGETC certification. Therefore, students who complete these exams will be required to complete at
least 4 semester units to satisfy the minimum required units for Area 5.

Most CSU campuses do not clear this requirement with the AP Exam (PS 1 or equivalent must be completed).
INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE (IB) *IB exam may be used in either area regardless of where the certifying CCC’s discipline is located.
A score of 5, 6 or 7 on Higher Level exams is required to grant credit for IGETC certification. An acceptable IB score for IGETC equates
to 3 semester units for certification purposes. Students who have earned credit from an IB exam should not take a comparable college
course because transfer credit will not be granted for both.
