Request For CSU GE-Breadth and IGETC Certification
-
Students may be certified to meet lower division general education requirements for transfer to the CSU and UC.
-
When fully certified, students may be eligible to earn a certificate of achievement conferred by COS.
-
The request for GE certification should be filed during your last semester at COS and once you have accepted an admission offer at the 4-year university.
- Certification might not be necessary if all of your college coursework was taken at the College of the Sequoias unless requested by certain CSU/UC campuses. However, if you have taken college coursework outside of COS, you should have met with a counselor before completing this GE Certification request.
- To request to be GE certified for transfer, please complete the request form by selecting the request button below:
