IGETC Recommended?

I TAG’d UCI for Software Engineering and have enough room in my schedule to complete the IGETC during the Summer quarter.

I am seeing conflicting comments of people recommending that I finish the IGETC and others saying that I shouldn’t finish the IGETC.

Does anyone know what I should do?

For many students, major preparation takes priority over IGETC, since “catching up” major preparation courses after transfer is more likely to delay graduation than needing to complete additional general education courses after transfer.

However, if you can complete IGETC without crowding out major preparation courses, then it is best to complete it.

UCI acceptance of IGETC is described at http://catalogue.uci.edu/informationforadmittedstudents/informationfortransferstudentsfulfillingrequirementsforabachelorsdegree/ .

Ahh I see. Thank you.
