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:

Please allow 7-10 business days for evaluation and processing. We will contact you should we have any additional questions.

The Articulation Office and Admissions & Records handle CSU GE-Breadth and IGETC certification requests. If you have any questions, please contact Mai Her (mainouh@cos.edu) or Yee Lee (yeel@cos.edu).
All coursework outside of College of the Sequoias and/or external exams, such as AP and IB scores, must be on file with the COS Admissions Office to be applied for GE transfer certifications.
Students who do not have high school coursework, college coursework, or approved examinations to clear the language equivalent to two years/second level of high school instructions can use this form: COS LOTE Certification (fillable).pdf
The Articulation Officer has the final determination of coursework and/or external exams applied to GE certification.
As a courtesy, the Admission & Records, upon your request, will mail or deliver proof of certification to your transfer university free of charge.
