What will I need to take at Cal Poly if I come if with a lower-division GE certification?
GE certification means that you have completed all of the lower-division courses in the General Education block. At Cal Poly you will need to earn 12 upper-division units by taking one four-unit GE course in each of the following three areas: Area C4: (Arts and Humanities/upper-division elective); Area D5: (Society and the Individual/Upper-division elective) Area F: (Technology) Note: Some majors at Cal Poly require specific GE “support” courses. It is best to check with your advisor in this area. Also Note: Area D1 may be a special case. Please check with the Evaluations Office to make sure that you have completed all required components of the Area D1 requirement.
