Associate Degree Requirements  032 Associate Degree—General Education Requirements
OPTION 2—Transfer CSU • 2018-2019

Designed for students who are planning to transfer to a university in the CSU system. However, it may be
appropriate for transfer to some independent colleges. In addition to the General Education requirements below,
students must complete additional requirements for the Associate Degree listed in the catalog. Transfer students
are strongly advised to contact a Coastline counselor for guidance in preparing an educational plan. In addition,
for the most current articulation information, visit www.assist.org.

Complete at least 39 units in the specific courses listed in Groups A-E. One course may not be used to satisfy
more than one general education requirement; however, the same course may be used to satisfy both a general
education requirement and a requirement for the major or Area of Emphasis. Students may also double-count
courses for the Global and Multicultural Studies Requirement.

Certificate of Achievement in CSU General Education

Upon completion of this General Education pattern, students may qualify for a Certificate of Achievement in
CSU General Education.

Certification of General Education for Transfer to CSU

Upon a student’s request, Coastline will verify the completion of lower-division general education requirements for
transfer to the California State University. Courses can only be certified if they were on the CSU approved list at
the time they were taken by the student. Upon transferring, the student will need to complete any upper-division
general education requirements required by the university. Students who transfer without certification will have to
meet both lower- and upper-division general education requirements of the specific CSU campus to which they
are transferring. Meeting these requirements usually necessitates taking additional courses. Students may also
request subject-area (partial) certification. To qualify a student must satisfactorily complete the courses required
in one or more sub-areas. Coastline will provide a full-certification only once. Certification is not automatic and
must be requested after the completion of the last term prior to transfer. This request should be made in the
Admissions Office when final transcripts are requested to be sent to the transfer university.

Associate Degree Requirements  034 Associate Degree—General Education Requirements
OPTION 3—Transfer IGETC • 2018-2019

Designed for students who are planning to transfer to a university in the CSU or UC system. However, it may be
appropriate for transfer to some independent colleges. In addition to the General Education requirements below,
students must complete additional requirements for the Associate Degree listed in the catalog. Transfer students are
strongly advised to contact a Coastline counselor for guidance in preparing an educational plan. In addition, for the
most current articulation information, visit www.assist.org.

Complete at least 37 units in the specific courses listed areas 1-6. These courses must be completed with a C or
better. One course may not be used to satisfy more than one general education requirement; however, the same
course may be used to satisfy both a general education requirement and a requirement for the major or Area of
Emphasis. Students may also double-count courses for the Global and Multicultural Studies Requirement.

Certificate of Achievement in Intersegmental General Education Transfer

Upon completion of this General Education pattern, students may qualify for a Certificate of Achievement in
Intersegmental General Education Transfer (IGETC) and IGETC Certification of General Education.

Certification of General Education for Transfer to CSU or UC

Upon student request, Coastline will verify the completion of lower-division general education requirements for
transfer to the California State University (either the CSU general education breadth requirements or the IGETC) or
the University of California (IGETC). Courses can only be certified if they were on the CSU or IGETC approved list
at the time they were taken by the student. Students who transfer without certification will have to meet the general
education requirements of the specific CSU or UC campus to which they are transferring. Meeting these requirements
usually necessitates taking additional courses. Coastline will certify courses only once. Certification is not automatic
and must be requested after the completion of the last term prior to transfer. This request should be made in the
Admissions office when final transcripts are requested to be sent to the transfer university.

Partial Certification of IGETC

Students may request partial certification if they have completed all but two of the courses on the IGETC pattern.
Students need Areas 1 and 2 completed to meet minimum transfer admission requirements. Therefore, partial
certification that acknowledges a deficiency in Area 1 and/or 2 may also indicate a student does not meet minimum
transfer requirements. Students have several options for completing the remaining courses. See a counselor for more
information.
