The California General Education Transfer Curriculum (CalGETC) is the singular GE pathway for CCC students to fulfill lower-division GE requirements necessary for transfer and admission to both the CSU and the UC. Cal-GETC is the only transfer GE pattern available to new and returning students as of Fall 2025. Cal-GETC Certification is not required for transfer.  \nCommon Course Numbering (CCN)–The student-facing common course numbering (CCN) system across the CCCs mandated by AB  \n1111. The CCN system assigns the same course number to comparable courses across all CCCs in order to streamline transfer from two-to fouryear postsecondary educational institutions and reduce excess credit accumulation.  \nCSU GE Breadth or IGETC Certification – The former process in which four-year institutions recognized the general education courses taught at California Community Colleges as meeting particular general education (GE) requirements. Students with 2024-2025 or earlier catalog rights are still eligible for CSU GE Breadth or IGETC Certification.  \nC-ID – The Course Identification Numbering System. C-ID is asupranumber that identifies a lower-division, transferable course commonly articulated between the California Community Colleges and universities (including California State Universities, Universities of California, as well as with many of California’s independent colleges and universities) . The C-ID number means that any other course elsewhere, bearing the same C-ID number, will be accepted by the institution.  \nCorequisite – A course in which a student is required to enroll at the same time that they are enrolled in another course. In the corequisite course, the student acquires certain skills, concepts and/or information which are essential to success in the concurrent course.  \nElective – A course which is not specifically required for a major, but which may be taken by choice for unit credit.  \nGeneral Education (GE) Requirements – A specific group of courses taken outside of a student’s major to meet the need for broad knowledge of the world and to satisfy either PCC degree requirements or requirements for transfer to UC, CSU, or an independent institution.  \nGrade-Point Average (GPA)–The GPA is on a 4-point scale and is computed by dividing the total grade points earned by the number of units attempted. For example, if the number of grade points earned is 28 and the number of units attempted is 14, then the GPA would be 2.0.  \nHigh-Unit Majors – High-unit majors are those areas of study that place more emphasis on preparatory courses within the major rather than the  \ncompletion of general education courses. Usually these are majors in the physical and life sciences and engineering. Examples of these majors include: biology, chemistry, physics, geology, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, computer science, mathematics, music, and many others.  \nStudents who choose a high-unit major should place their primary focus on completion of courses in mathematics and the appropriate science courses. General education courses based on the Cal-GETC should be completed as they can be fitted into one’s schedule. It is not necessary to complete all GE courses prior to transfer, but upon transfer it will be required that a student complete the general education requirements of the particular school where they have been accepted.  \nImpacted M","cbCailXz5jm88948","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailXz5jm88948","pdf",183856,"English","# Transfer Vocabulary\n## Core Transfer Terms\n## Course and Admission Requirements","[{\"question\":\"What is Cal-GETC certification and do students need it for transfer?\",\"answer\":\"Cal-GETC certification is the process by which four-year institutions recognize eligible general education courses from California Community Colleges.
