<p>Today I went to my records office at my community college to get my IGETC certification, and they informed me I have completed 6 AA or AS degrees. I knew I had the AS degree in Math, but i have 5 others. Is there a way to list these 5 others on the UC app update? I know it probably wont matter, but I figured it couldn't hurt. Thanks for any and all input!</p>
<p>I don’t believe there is a specific area were you can mention this but if you really want to make note of this you can utilize the additional comments section and mention it there.</p>
<p>How’s it possible to have 5 degrees you don’t know about?</p>
<p>Or did you mean you met the requirements and qualified to receive the degrees, that sounds more believable?</p>
<p>very simple @matt4200. I took GE requirements to complete IGETC, plus did all my major prep courses, and those courses fulfilled 6 different AA and AS requirements. I signed the paperwork today, and will receive them in the mail. </p>
<p>@BlaiseAM do you have to apply for graduation to get the AA/AS degrees? Or is there a form we can fill out</p>
<p>@mik194, all i did was call the graduation office, they gave papers for me to sign to the admissions office where i signed them, and thats it. </p>
<p>@BlaiseAM - So you don’t have them yet you just we’re told you were eligible to apply for X amount of degrees today and signed papers to do so right?</p>
<p>@matt4200, i think i have 4 of the 6. I have to complete linear algebra for my AS in math, and something else for a AA in psych </p>
<p>I have heard of community colleges just automatically issuing an associates degree after the student completes the last course needed – even if the student was not planning on getting an associates degree or actively trying to fulfill the requirements of an associates degree.</p>
<p>@ucbalumnus - Really? That sounds crazy, because what if the student was planning on taking one more course in a different subject and getting a completely different degree, I don’t think they could legally do that without consent </p>
<p>@matt4200, then they would receive both, why would there be any legal issues with this?</p>
<p>Okay let’s say a student has their 60 units and they meet the degree requirements for degree A, but they want to take a summer course and end up with degree X, if the college automatically issued degree A they could not, after the summer course issue Degree B because I believe by law you need 15 additional units per degree so that person wanting Degree X would be screwed, and the school could be sued for this. Maybe this happened years ago, but in 2014 they can’t authorize a degree without an individual’s consent and a counsel it’s signature, at least not in CA.</p>
<p>“by law you need 15 additional units per degree” @matt4200, this part is incorrect</p>
<p>Words before that, “I believe”</p>
<p>It’s my belief, some colleges vary, mine is 15, but the minimum required in the state of CA between degrees is 12 I just checked the CA education code and asked a counselor today.</p>
<p>You can apply to as many degrees as you want if you qualify. A school will never issue an AS/AA if you don’t fill the paperwork and sign…so don’t lie! There are not limitations in the degrees you can get, it means you are smart and will be better off in the future than those people who transfered and don’t have any degree ;). I am getting an A.S in Business, A.S in Acounting, AS-T in Business transfer, and four certificates of achievement. I’m planning to study Econ once I transfer, so guest who is more likely to get hired? The one who only have one degree or the one that have several degrees in different fields? Answer youself ;)</p>
<p>Nobody cares about how many AA/AS you have once you get your bachelors. </p>
<p>@CSB111</p>
<p>Those AA/AS degrees will matter if your bachelor’s is in a different field. For example, an AA in math or science can be pretty helpful if you have a degree in the humanities or in business.</p>
<p>If we apply for graduation, do we have to walk at commencement? or is that an option? Don’t really feel like it when I just did for high school 2 years ago :p</p>

No one cares about 2 yr degrees besides the most bottom-end jobs. </p>
