<p>I just had a thought.</p>
<p>I took 2 yrs of spanish in high school, and I never wrote that on my UC application.</p>
<p>Were we supposed to write it somewhere or mention it?</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter on the application. The proof is in the IGETC certification, which requires proof of completion of that foreign language. You submit that after you get accepted along with your transcripts.</p>
<p>@sega18 is right, if you wrote you’d be IGETC certified it’s the same thing as saying you have fulfilled that requirement.</p>
<p>Though I’m pretty sure it’s a graduation requirement and not an admissions requirement</p>
<p>Um, I believe if you did not submit high school transcripts you needed to do two years of language at CC. it’s all automated over at the UCs. They aren’t going to hold your hand while you go find the transcripts that should have been sent with application. Now, maybe they will give you a conditional, but you also put yourself in jeopardy for a disqualification out the gate. It’s now going to be arbitrary on their end. I hope it works out.</p>
<p>I disagree with comments that you only need to prove it all after acceptance. Yes, they will want verification of what was submitted. The key phrase is “verification of what was submitted”.
My daughter’s unofficial transcript sent with her application had second English class inadvertently omitted. She got a notice that she had five days to send proof or she would be disqualified. It was a CC error, instantly corrected. But she would have been disqualified.</p>
<p>Our UC paid advisor said have everything in order when you submit. They want to see IGETC and depending on major or school, can disqualify you without it. So if you do not have language as part of the required IGETC (it is required), when they look at unofficial transcript, I would guess top UCs may happily use that as a way to thin the herd. Maybe others will give you a break, or if your major is pretty open they might let it slide. The takeaway is to get all IGETC done at time of application to be safe. That is what the UC page says. Again, it may work out. But it was an error. </p>
<p>As stated above, it will be on your IGETC. Your IGETC will not be certified if it does not have the foreign language. Since you receive your IGETC certification from your current CC adviser, they should have your highschool transcript and you let them know that you completed the foreign language in highschool.
All the UC’s do is look at the completion of IGETC and are likely to not look into your highschool transcript to see why you didn’t complete IGETC.</p>
<p>I got this information straight from my counselor. </p>
<p>@mental2</p>
<p>So why are all these other people telling me I’m supposed to have sent my high school transcript in??</p>
<p>If I remember correctly, I got an email after submitting my UC application that we were not supposed to mail in any transcripts or anything.</p>
<p>If you go to the uc site that talks about IGETC and language, it first states that IGETC is not required for admission - BUT not having it completed at application time can jeopardize the top tier UCs. I read it one minute ago. It says that. There are also impacted majors that note IGETC as a requirement. So, if you have high school equivalency, hopefully there is something on your CC transcript noting that the requirement is fulfilled. If it is not on the CC transcript, the top tier will use their discretion regarding the matter. Someone can tell you, “who cares, you can deal with it later”, but probably if I were UCLA and it wasn’t on there and it was between you and 10 other comparables, I would use it to eliminate you. Why wouldn’t I? There are thousands of applicants. You should check and see if it is noted on your transcript that was sent. I’m just saying it is a possibility. The good news is if you get rejected from a top tier, find out why. If they say there was evidence you did not complete IGETC, appeal with the info. The only time they accept appeals is usually if there is some new academic information. I’m not trying to be a creep, but it’s really been drummed into to us for months to have the IGETC done no matter what the rules might state. </p>
<p>And just to add one other part to this, the person above keeps stating, oh they will look at it when you send final transcript and IGETC certification. That part only happens if you’ve been accepted. Right now, all they have to make a decision is what is in front of them. Check with your counselor. It may be noted and then no worries.</p>
<p>@TonyStak93 Correct. You do not send any transcript in until AFTER they accept you and request. It does not matter if you didn’t mentioned that you took 2 years of foreign language in high school; the most important part is if you mentioned that you will complete IGETC before transfer.</p>
<p>Foreign Language is an IGETC requirement.</p>
<p>All the information in the application is self-reported, which means that the UCs do not verify this info (like your grades, IGETC cert, etc) until after they admit you (or if you get audited).</p>
<p>Foreign language is an IGETC requirement, and it is also a graduation requirement at most UCs. IGETC certification implies completion of the graduation requirement (at least at UCLA). If your major requires more foreign language than the requirements for IGETC or graduation, then that’s a different matter.</p>
<p>The point is that you don’t usually send UC any transcripts or certification until after they admit you. Here’s a copy/paste:</p>
<p>“You will be asked to submit official transcripts from all schools and colleges you have attended, including high school, regardless of your length of attendance or whether you believe the credit is transferable. Some campuses may request transcripts prior to admission.” </p>
<p>My daughter talked to someone at SBCC and they told her to make sure to send a certified copy of her HS transcript with the foreign launage classes on it to the CC so she can IGETC certified…so I assume that if you have a completed IGETC the lanuage requirement is satisfied for UC purposes. Not 100% sure but that is what they were telling her…</p>
<p>lindyk8,
No one has sent transcripts (except a small percentage that were asked to for various reasons). The UCs do not care how you complete IGETC. They only care that you do. If you claim that you will complete it, they offer you acceptance based on that claim. If it turns out that you are unable to, your acceptance is rescinded (in most cases). They don’t want to see high school transcripts or anything like that, or any transcripts for that matter, until you have been accepted. No need to scare anyone, unless you have some new knowledge that nobody has, including UC representatives. Show me a UC document that says high school records should have been sent by now. </p>
