<p>Does anyone know if Physical Science 1/"General Physical Science" counts for this requirement? </p>
<p>If not, there's no way I can complete it unless someone knows of a community college that has actual physical science classes. </p>
<p>At my school is called physical science 11, sounds like the same class</p>
<p>Every school is different. You need to follow the IGETC guidelines for the school that will certify you. Most schools have the sheet online for you to look at. Go to google and put in your school name and IGETC, and likely the list of acceptable courses will come up.</p>
<p>I finally found that the class is acceptable under the community college that I’m taking it at. However, it isn’t my primary CCC. </p>
<p>My primary CCC doesn’t offer any physical science classes (seriously). Under their IGETC agreement, it doesn’t show the Physical Science 1 class as being acceptable, but do they have to accept the class since it was IGETC certified at the other one? </p>
<p>No they don’t have to. The may, but not guaranteed. You need to speak with someone at your school before you take a pointless class.</p>
<p>Unfortunately. Not looking forward to it.
Thanks for your help. </p>
<p>@Bunessa taking it at another CCC that isn’t your primary shouldn’t be an issue. You might want to check though. Over a year ago Ms Sun was giving us ludicrous info about having to drive an hour away so my daughter could take one required course not articulated at my daughter’s CCC - that was offered MWF in the middle of day, a place with no parking, meaning the whole three days are shot. The UCs said if it wasn’t at my daughter’s CCC she didn’t have to take it until she got to a UC. I called to verify. Ms sun was still adamant about sending my daughter in turmoil to take it. My daughter didn’t take the class and got into all the UCs she applied to. So - yes, you can take a course at another CCC, but check because if it isn’t articulated at your CC, you should be able to take it at UC (although you seem to be saying you’re at this other CCC now). </p>
<p>Ms. Sun has been wrong on a lot of things. Her advice led me to change an entire semester of classes, which it turns out I did not have to do, which caused me a lot of problems. Be careful and always double check anything you read or are advised online. When in doubt, call a school administrator.</p>
<p>@fullload don’t get me started. :(( :(( :(( </p>
<p>It’s all so tricky. When I sent my CCC #1 transcripts to CCC#2, my advisor at #2 said that a Psych class I took at #1 counted as Physical Science according to school #1. School #2 would therefore give me credit for physical science on my IGETC. However when the person who actually certifies IGETC saw that school #2 offers the exact class, but credits it to Social Science, then he said I could only get Soc Science credit for it. I could have fought it, but I already had another physical science, so I didn’t worry about it.</p>
<p>My point is that make sure that you get the IGETC info from the person/ people who actually make those determinations. A counselor/ advisor may not be the best source of info.</p>
<p>Yeah, this forum is infinitely more useful than Ms. Sun from what you guys seem to be saying.</p>
<p>I managed to find something within the district that meets the requirement. Finally. </p>
<p>The counselors at this particular community college are like the mayhem man. “YOU’RE GOOD!” … no, was not good. I prefer to avoid them. </p>
<p>@bunessa Does your school not have astronomy classes? They satisfy the physical sci requirement. </p>
<p>No, it doesn’t. I’m pretty confident this is one of the most sad CCCs. Possibly wins #1. It has no chemistry/astronomy/geology/geography. Could be the reason why 0 people transfer to UCs every year. Also, all 20 of my classes have all taken place in the same 2 rooms in a portable building. 
Some small town joys. </p>
<p>@uclammg whoa off topic complaints aside… I did find a class somewhere else so I’m all set. </p>
<p>@bunessa wow that’s pretty lame. Well I’m glad you found the class. Good luck!</p>
<p>@bunessa which CC is it? Is it that Feather River one? Just out of curiosity, how does UC handle a CC without a lot of class offerings? I just read they have an action plan to try and address discrepancy for the future. Do they give you a pass?</p>
<p>@lindyk8 Yuba College - Clearlake. Super small. </p>
<p>I wish someone knew the answer to that. I read on a lot of boards that the UCs don’t hold it against you and just let you finish them at the UC. I just can’t imagine the admission people looking through your college’s offered classes to see that they’re not available. I guess you could use the additional comments section to make sure they know. </p>
<p>The only school I’m worried about is UCSD. I’ll be missing like 3 classes. Not that it matters since they just admit based on GPA, but I don’t want to be behind. 
Be kind to me UCB/LA. </p>
<p>@bunessa People miss classes a lot. My daughter was missing two in communications for this fall and it was OK. It was never even a worry for her because her CC just didn’t have them, and the UCs honored that agreement. </p>
<p>They do have access to what is available though, as it is all clearly delineated on assist.org. I guess the big question might be, say it was a complex major, like electrical engineering, and you’re missing 7 classes. Well not only will it take you an extra year of tuition, but maybe they might think, well, do we have any knowledge that this person would even be GOOD at engineering. The good news for you is there was that recent task force to bring students in from these under-represented CCs. Another option, UCSD admits as undeclared, so you can forego the declaration of a major for that one. Regarding UCLA and UCB, missing three classes is not all that bad by a long shot, especially if everything else is completed. If you want my opinion, being at an under-represented CC will probably work in your favor next year.</p>
<p>Have you gone on to assist.org to check? I assume you have.</p>
