Possible UC Berkeley Admission Rescind (IGETC Certification Problem)

<p>@zalrons they wouldn’t know. As long as the BYU transcript says it was completed in Spring there would be no way to differentiate when you took the course or how long you took it for. My community college semester has been over for a week. </p>

<p>@JewBacca, I’m confused. How would the OP satisfy IGETC? They’d take the lab and lecture through BYU and get certified at a JC they never attended? Do you think BYU would allow OP to enter the classes this late considering it ends in 2 weeks? </p>

<p>IGETC is an agreement created by the CA legislature in collaboration with UC and CSU, and IGETC policies apply to the whole UC system. I don’t believe any one campus can make up their own rules. </p>

<p>Here’s what it says on the UC main website about partial IGETC: </p>

<p>" California community colleges may grant partial certification of IGETC to students who are missing no more than two requirements"
<a href=“University of California Counselors”>University of California Counselors;

<p>I would question why Berkeley seems to be imposing their own rules which are at odds with what the legislature intended and what UCOP appears to support with regards to partial certification. </p>

<p>@Zalrons , BYU doesn’t care, they want the money. I am pretty sure you don’t have to attend a JC to get igetc certified there, but I may be wrong. Even if you couldn’t do that, I am sure their school would give credit for the course since it is an accredited institution. :)>- </p>

<p>@Zalrons The OP could also sign up for the summer session at JewBacca’s CC, and ask them to certify the OP </p>

<p>Interesting. Well good luck OP! You absolutely need to take this class! </p>

<p>OP is over it lmao…</p>

<p>Y’all overwhelmed him/her! LOL! This was their 1st post, and you guys probably scared them off :-)</p>

<p>@JewBacca I’m sort of going to hijack this thread for a second, and ask: do you know of any CC or institution that allows me to take Ancient Philosophy online? I really want to get it out of the way as a prereq before I start at Cal, but its hard finding a place that articulates to Cal. Would BYU be an option? How would I know if their course would articulate?</p>

<p>@freetofly112 do you need it done this spring or just in general? I will look it up for you with my legendary research skills hahaha</p>

<p>@JewBacca Hahah awesome! Just in general</p>

<p>@freetofly112 sorry that class is too random. I found a bunch of institutions offering philosophy, but only the generalized basic courses, like intro/logic. </p>

<p>@JewBacca‌ </p>

<p>I really don’t understand why the OP didn’t take your advice. If I was him/her I would be so thankful that you went out of your way and found a solution. I guess he/she doesn’t want to go to Cal that bad…</p>

<p>PS It looks like someone stole your user name, because I noticed there is a JewBacca05 when I tagged you.</p>

<p>In case the OP is still reading this, I’m pretty sure you can satisfy any particular IGETC requirement at any CCC, and the college at which you get certified will honor that. For example if you wish to get certified at college A, you could satisfy an IGETC requirement at college B, and it doesn’t matter whether that class also satisfies that requirement at college A, they will still accept it. My counselor told me this. Perhaps someone else can confirm or deny. Anyways, best of luck. I would listen to JewBacca.</p>

<p>@music1990 someone stole my username haha!?!? Yeah, maybe they are busy today or something, but if it was me I would do everything possible to keep from getting rescinded. Cal is the cream of the crop and some of the brightest minds in the nation are enrolled here; the type of people that think outside the box and “get it done” without excuses- they actually care about their education. I hope OP is one of those leaders, I don’t want slackers at my school anyway haha. OP don’t be afraid to post back here, we are here to help 8-> </p>

<p>@JewBacca‌ </p>

<p>Yeppp I guess you got sniped for your user name.</p>

<p>And how could you possibly think about anything else and be “busy” though when you’re about to get rescinded… I would be unable to do anything. I would be unable to function. (Edit: By “you” I mean the OP, if that wasn’t obvious).</p>

<p>I like how you go from bashing lazy people to being all welcoming and telling the OP not to be afraid to come back lol. That’s what cc is all about. Positive reinforcement and encouragement, mixed with just a tiny bit of elitism. At any rate, I hope the OP comes back and listens to reason.</p>

<p>@Jewbacca Ah, thanks for looking anyways. Just curious, what institutions had Logic? I also happen to need that one if it articulates to Cal.</p>

<p>In @kleesta’s defense, I can see where there could be a slip up. At least at the CCC here in San Mateo the lab connection part is set up confusingly. It’s one class, but then you separately choose a lab. He may have put the correct class in his planned list for spring, which included the lab, and then three months later when registration came he either just messed up and picked another, or maybe the planned choice was full and he forgot about the lab and chose another science class thinking it was fine. There are so many variables, I could see someone forgetting. I actually believe him when he says it was human error.</p>

<p>I was curious about BYU and I went and checked it out. It is a great option! Thanks for alerting me. However, it could not possibly work in this situation because of the following FAQs they have listed on the site: (1) When you submit a homework assignment it can take up to two weeks to get it graded. (2) you need to request an exam, which is not necessarily responded to immediately, and (3) all tests must be proctored by a certified BYU proctor at a testing center. These all take time, especially with summer upon us. Plus, it would cost close to $600 with an additional $250 in course material. As far as I can tell, it is guaranteed to be impossible to complete in two weeks, so that money is just lost. </p>

<p>I suggest he just try and plead his way out of it. I kind of feel bad you guys accused him of lying, truth be told… :(</p>

<p>@lindyk8 yeah, some of the classes are graded by hand, but most are computer graded for the homework. After taking one of their humanities courses I really believe you could get it done within two weeks; although you would have to study 24/7 those two weeks. If they at least attempted to give it their all Cal might look favorably upon that, it shows character. You could be right though, it might be wasted effort. </p>

<p>@freetofly112 I found an the course you need at ASU online. It goes from Late August to early October, so it is a super short course. Obviously you need to check with Berkeley to make sure it articulates if you are interested though. </p>

<p>Also, Coastline Community College in California has a logic course this summer that is still OPEN and fully online. Go to coastline.edu and search their summer catalog for Philc115 … They don’t have an articulation agreement for that course on assist but I am sure the Berkeley philosophy department would approve it if the course descriptions are the same. </p>
