<p>I was under the impression that IGETC was something other than it is, and checked the box off in my app. I do not have IGETC certification.</p>
<p>What can I do? Is my app screwed now? Can I call them and resolve this even though the submission deadline is past?</p>
<p>Something I do not want is to get accepted on the stipulation that I prove my IGETC certification.</p>
<p>I applied for engineering, and they don't care about IGETC so much, but I don't want this to mess me up.</p>
<p>Will you be igetc certified by july? If not, then call, explain your confusion, and youll be fine.</p>
<p>No, I won’t be certified by July if I continue as planned.</p>
<p>The only class I’m missing is a foreign language. One of my options I suppose is to enroll in a language class this semester, and apply for the IGETC.</p>
<p>There’s a dynamically dated Spanish 1A class that started yesterday. The only issue is that would put me at 22 units for the semester. </p>
<p>I could do it, as I took 18 last semester and got all As, but I wasn’t anticipating on this.</p>
<p>Would the IGETC help me get in? Also, my app has already been sent to individual campuses. Would this cause in issue in just calling and telling them I made a mistake?</p>
<p>You might already know this, but if you took 2 years of language in HS with grades of C or better it counts for IGETC. </p>
<p>As you said, for Engineering IGETC doesn’t matter that much so I doubt it’ll boost your chances significantly. You would have to call/email all the UC campuses so that they can add a note to your application that you didn’t actually finish IGETC. I don’t think it actually affect your admission chances if you call at this point, because they probably haven’t started looking at transfer applications yet.</p>
<p>Just a follow up question: How do you become IGETC certified? Do you just take the classes listed and you become certified? Or do you have to apply for it?</p>
<p>Call all the UCs you applied to. Better safe than sorry.</p>
<p>Mermaker–When I SIR’d Cal they asked me to send in official transcripts and IGETC certification. I went into the admissions and records office and my CC and they gave me a form to fill out and sent it to Berkeley for me. I assume it’s a similar process at all CCs.</p>
<p>Hello everybody, thanks for the replies. I called the UC application center and they told me I could mail a letter to them with my name, application ID, what I need to change, and my signature, and they would make the necessary changes to my application and submit it to all the campuses I applied to.</p>
<p>I’ve decided to go this route, and I sent the letter last night.</p>
<p>mermaker: yes, I think you fill out the application with a counselor for the certification. You can do it before you apply.</p>
<p>thanks guys</p>
<p>I just realized this but I could have also done this with another academic update, which I just did because I have a pending (accepted but still arranging) DOE internship with a research group at UC Berkeley and I wanted them to know that!</p>
