<p>I'm finishing up my final course planning for next year prior to transfer to UCLA Economics/Mathematics major (or another UC if I am denied - hopefully not though).</p>
<p>I can't seem to get a clear answer from online resources on what the implications are for partial IGETC certification. I will be short two courses from Area 3 (humanities/arts) because I will be taking some other classes related to my major (though not necessarily prescribed pre-requisites; I am just very interested in the subjects and want to take advantage of them while they are free at community college).</p>
<p>My school will offer "partial IGETC certification" if I am at maximum, short two courses from anything but Area 1 or 2. This is no problem - but what does this mean, as opposed to full certification?</p>
<p>It's my hope, but I am probably wrong, that it serves as a waiver of sorts - to where I won't have to take the two missing classes at UC, and can begin my upper division classes for my major immediately. If not though, can someone here please explain?</p>
<p>Thanks -</p>
<p>usually you get partially igetc certified if the school you’re transferring to lets you finish up courses in the summer so that you can get fully certified in the summer. Sometimes they may accept just the partial igetc and let you finish up your GE’s after transferring. However, UCLA doesn’t allow either of those situations. Partial igetc just means you didn’t finish all the requirements for igetc but you got some of them done.</p>
<p>i am one science lab short for IGETC but my major is linguistic, will that effect my admission ? Because when I called my counselor, she said it will be okay.</p>
<p>@eager - Your counselor where? The UC, or your CCC?</p>
<p>@eager - that is my exact situation. I’m a philosophy major, all pre-reqs done, all IGETC except one science lab. You’ll be fine, it won’t affect your admission anywhere except Berkeley who may grant you conditional acceptance. That’s based on a lot of talking to a lot of counselors.</p>
<p>my CC counselor. i hope so… cuz it would be devastated to find out you get accepted and then they drop your acceptance… thanks guys :)</p>
<p>@TheLongShot what is your stat? i’ve seen you posting here and there :)</p>
<p>I’m also one science lab away from being igetc certifed… does anyone know when we need this done by?</p>
<p>@Organic - we just need to do it after we transfer to the schools that accept us</p>
<p>@eager - my stats are a few places but short summary:</p>
<p>GPA - 4.0
School - Pierce College
Units - 67 (after spring)
Major - Philosophy
IGETC - finished except one science lab
Pre-reqs - all done
Schools applied to - UCLA, UCB, UCSD (accepted), UCSB (accepted), Stanford, UCI (accepted), NYU (accepted)
Essays - good I hope lol
ECs - founded nonprofit organizations in senior year of high school. For more on this I can go find them in some other threads and paste them here.</p>
<p>for berkeley/LA igetc must be finished by spring. you can’t finish the igetc in the summer.</p>
<p>From what I read If you haven’t finished IGETC you have to send the UC your high school transcript. I didn’t finish IGETC, and I was still accepted into several UCs</p>
<p>for mid tier UCs (Davis, SB, I) can you complete IGETC during the summer? Because I didn’t check for IGETC on my update, but my counselor said I can complete it over the summer and even showed me the website (for counselors though)…but I just wanna double check though. I may call UC Davis admissions or email them to let them know.</p>
I am one class short for igetc completion, and I will have partial certification, for the tau should I put a yes or no for igetc completion? I was planning on taking the class over summer before transferring. I tagged ucsb
