<p>Does this apply to TRANSFERS who completed their IGETC/GE?? </p>
<p>THANK YOU</p>
<p>Yes, this applies to TRANSFERS who have completed their IGETC/GE. I actually spoke to a Political Science adviser the other day so that I could figure out what classes I need to take and she specifically stated that I needed to take an AC course as part of the graduation requirement.</p>
<p>aw… damn. thank you!</p>
<p>btw you already met the requirement if you graduated HS in CA and took history.</p>
<p>^ So a passing grade in History will exempt me from the AC requirement? What about a passing grade in the AP US history test?</p>
<p>oh thank you iZychr! I read your statement and researched further and found out I already took pre-approved courses at my CC! Done :)</p>
<p>Foothilltransfer (Foothill, represent!!), check assist.org. I just checked and if you took either Music 8, Photo 8, or Hist 10, you’re good.</p>
<p>I spoke to a counselor yesterday about the American Cultures requirement.</p>
<p>Everyone needs to take it and it is easy to fulfill.
I would need 9 upper division courses in Anthropology (my major) to graduate, I would also need 6 courses of upper division in something other than my major.</p>
<p>I would need one AC course (American Culture) course and I wuld be able to take it within Anthropology with courses listed as"AC"
for example :
[Course</a> Descriptions - Anthropology Department, UC Berkeley](<a href=“http://anthropology.berkeley.edu/programs/courses/course_details.php?id=477]Course”>http://anthropology.berkeley.edu/programs/courses/course_details.php?id=477)
would fulfill my upper division anthro course and the AC requirement…
or I could take one AC course from another dept to fulfill my 6 upper div requirement and the AC requirement.</p>
<p>its not bad nor is it extra work. </p>
<p>If you are in EOP in Berkeley PM me and I will recommend the best counselor on the UC Berkeley campus.</p>
<p>“The AC requirement can be fulfilled “off-campus” through transfer units from a Community College or other institution. (Pre-approved AC courses for Community Colleges can be found on <a href=“http://www.assist.org.)”>www.assist.org.)</a>”</p>

<p>taken care of, for me.</p>
<p>@ iZychr</p>
<p>Can you give me a link to somewhere that says this? If it is true that I can satisfy American Cultures with HS history, I would kiss you :D</p>
<p>absurdmike-from what the counselor told me they want your High School transcripts b/c they fulfill the government and history requirement they want.</p>
<p>AC is totally different!!!</p>

<p>@other foothill person - Yay! I took Photo 8H :)!</p>
<p>^ How was Photo 8H?</p>
<p>I was looking at taking this summer to fulfill the requirement.</p>
<p>Janethedoe- I was invited to EOP as well. Could you recommed a counselor to me? BTW, what kind of opportunities do they provide you? I know they offer tons of resources but do you get anything special for establishing yourself as an EOP student? i.e. backpacks, notebooks etc. The reason I ask is that my last school did provide these things for students.</p>
<p>Are you guys just looking in the Berkeley course catalog to see what courses you want to take for fall semester? I already know what courses I want to take I just wanted to make sure there is a teacher teaching it that semester. BTW Janethedoe…are you planning on doublemajoring?</p>
<p>they don’t provide services like that for their students at Berkeley. EOP in CCC is completely different. The counselor told me they do offer special services but mainly they offer counseling for your courses and stuff. EOP students at Berkeley do not get priority registration…but they do get emergency grants…if you qualify.
and they offer %50 off GRE prep courses offered by Princeton Review and Kaplan.
idk about double majoring…lol</p>
<p>@Johnny - Very easy and informative. I highly recommend everyone who is going to CAL to take it online this summer.</p>

<p>^ Yeah I’m going to try too, but I just registered at foothill so I’m sure the class will fill up before my reg date.</p>
<p>As you can tell, I’m from Foothill. And I’m here to give you the inside scoop! </p>
<p>At Foothill, if a class is filled, the person first on the waitlist does NOT get automatically bumped into the class. So if you really want to be in the class, just watch the class availability and add the class in the case someone drops. Also, it is smart to contact the teacher beforehand to show you care! :)</p>
<p>Ugh, ■■■. Do I really need to take a class about photography of African Americans during the summer? </p>
<p>How much effort would one need to put in this class to get an “A.” I am thinking of taking multivariable/accounting classes over the summer as well.</p>
