What is general education certification and why is it important for transferring students?
Certification of CSU GE or IGETC is an important step in the transfer process! The certification of GE is the official notice to the transfer institution verifying that a transfer student has completed courses satisfying lower division general education requirements. The certification is a different form from the transcript. The request for certification of CSU GE-Breadth or IGETC should be submitted to either the Foothill College evaluator or the Foothill College Office of Admissions and Records after receiving acceptance and after completion of all courses at Foothill College but prior to enrollment at the university. Some universities maintain deadlines for submission of certification forms. For certification, all courses on IGETC must be completed with a grade of C or better. The CSU GE pattern can be certified by completing a specific subject area or by completing the entire 54 unit pattern.
