Made a mistake on my IGETC

Applying to College
1

I got accepted to UC Merced last month and during the application process they asked me if I have completed the IGETC. I said yes because I thought I did, and they had all my transcripts anyway.

Today, I got a notification from the school asking for a IGETC certificate to verify my completion of IGETC. I just checked the IGETC breadth and it turns out I’m one class short.

I’m not sure what to do and really worried this will have my application rescinded. Should I contact the school and make them aware of my mistake (even though they specifically asked me if I completed IGETC and I said “yes, it’s completed in full”) and just hope for the best… or should I play it off and ignore it and hope they just forget about it? It’s on my task list on my student profile.

I’m really worried this will rescind my admission!

You need to contact the school. There’s not a whole lot that we can do on this site to help you correct the class that you have missed.

The school will work with you to figure something out. There’s nothing here that we can do other than advise you to contact admissions.

Not sure what class you are missing but can you take a late start class this fall semester? Lots of online options so you can branch out a bit. Our local CC has late start classes that start Nov 1st.
