<p>i was wondering if i needed to notify my counselor if i follow the igetc plan or can i just take the classes listed on igetc and just get it certified when i am done without notifying my school's office or counselor to begin following the plan.</p>
<p>you can do your own thing, but I would suggest to go in and talk to a counselor. I did it and I saw that it helped in many ways.</p>
<p>-I made a 2 year plan and didn’t have to worry about scheduling (it took 30 min)
-I got to find a good counselor that I liked and was helpful.
-The counselor told me about options I didn’t know existed
-the 2-year plan is basically what you enter on your application, so that was all planned out already
-You can find out about any transfer programs by talking to the counselor
-It’s better to get an outside opinion from someone who is impartial than just your own opinion on your academic planning</p>
<p>I transferred into Cal and my counselor was probably the most helpful person I had during the application process.</p>
<p>hey this may not be related to your question, but do you HAVE to complete the IGETC before transferring? I am transferring to UCSD or UCD and will have 60 units by the end of spring 2010 ( applying for fall 2010). I will be completed with the English-math-etc. requirements along with the assist.org requirements for both schools.</p>
<p>depends on your major but overall yes, read the igetc form that your CC hands out and go to the school’s websites that you’re interested in (under transfer admissions)</p>
