<p>I'm a second-quarter student at De Anza College and have a question about IGETC. According to assist.org, the two English courses I'm taking don't fulfill IGETC, but they are UC transferable and, as much as I can tell, fulfill the requirement on the official UC website: "Two transferable college courses (3 semester or 45 quarter units each) in English composition." </p>
<p>Does every course have to be totally assist.org-approved, IGETC-wise? Basically, is this okay as long as the English credits will transfer? I really don't want to go back and retake different English classes.</p>
<p>I am pretty sure that the two transferable college courses in English composition that the uc website refers to are the ones that meet the IGETC requirement.</p>
<p>The english courses have to pertain to composition, so most likely they will be the ones that satisfy the IGETC requirement. A class such as creative writing or journalism is not going to fulfill that.</p>
<p>If you don't complete IGETC, the UC is free to tear apart your schedule and reject other classes that you took at the community college. Do some further investigation into whether those classes count so you don't have to go through that.</p>
<p>To answer your question directly, IGETC is a very strict system. You need to complete everything precisely within the bounds of accepted classes. If you don't choose specifically from the list of acceptable classes for an IGETC area, then you have not completed that area. And if you haven't completed even one IGETC area then you have not completed IGETC and will not receive any sort of partial certification. If you're not IGETC certified then...well..what you have to do will vary by the university/college, but most likely you'll have to take more GE classes.</p>
