How many IGETC units can be taken P/NP?

How many IGETC units can be taken P/NP? Does it vary by UC? Or is it a uniform rule across the board?

IGETC | UC Admissions says that “Your courses will count towards IGETC if you get grades of a C or better. A grade of Credit or Pass will also count if the community college’s policy states it is equivalent to a grade of C or better.”

However, if your community college allows C- to be a pass grade, you may want to check if taking a course for IGETC as pass/no-pass is allowed.

Does that mean there is no unit maximum?

You probably want to ask the following directly to be sure.

  1. Your community college (since your community college does the IGETC certification).
  2. UC admissions.
  3. CSU admissions.

Of course, any courses that you may need for your intended major are likely to be required to be taken for a letter grade. Also, check if any specific courses (e.g. English courses) are required to be taken for a letter grade.
