I recently was admitted to a UC even though I didn’t complete one major pre-req (I couldn’t get into the class and the professor said that I could still transfer). I’ve finished all my GE requirements and the major pre-reqs (except the one that I mentioned). The admission obviously knew I didn’t complete that pre-req but accepted me anyway (what my prof said was true I guess) but I didn’t petition for my igetc certification in spring (I thought when I completed all the requirements, I would automatically be certified–I didn’t know I need to fill a form to petition it…) so I’m not getting the official certification until summer. Do you think this will affect my admission to the university?
P.S. I talked to my transfer counselor and she said I should be fine because they still admitted me knowing that I didn’t complete one major pre-req and I should just talk to UC admission to be sure. I need a reply ASAP so please help! Thanks!
You can’t petition until you get the final grades for all the GE courses. All you do is go to admissions and fill out a form. They send it usually within a couple of weeks. It’s due by July 15.
I got the petition but my counselor said I won’t be getting my AA degree and the IGETC certification until end of summer (which might be later than July 15th which is why I was scared). Thanks for the response!
