  1. The New IGETC Standards 2008

  2. The art of progress is to preserve order amid change and to preserve change amid order.-Alfred North Whitehead

  3. IGETC Standards Review Three main goals: • Maintain the Academic Standards of IGETC (10.0) • Help Students that have met those standards get counseled and certified as efficiently as possible • Eliminate procedural barriers in order to increase and streamline certification

  4. New IGETC Standards: Highlights • The “recommended” IGETC form (11.5) • No more simple “check marks” on transcripts, please! • Try to create the same “fields” of information on your form • Partial IGETC Certification • “Good cause” no longer necessary • Timing restrictions eliminated • UC Berkeley College of Letters & Science: • No Partial Certification • Case by case basis

  5. Certification of IGETC (11.0) • Certification is completed by the last community college attended during a regular session (fall or spring for semester schools; fall, winter or spring for quarter schools) (11.1) • Any community college can certify at their discretion, even if they are not the last CCC attended (11.1) • No limitation of courses from other US regionally accredited institutions (11.0) • Must use official transcripts (Except for LOTE)

  6. The New AP Chart (7.1) • Gives subject credit for specific areas • Relieves the burden of having to find campus specific course equivalency • Creates uniformity throughout the state

  7. Establishing Equivalency for Non-CCC Courses • Using any CCC IGETC course list to establish equivalency for non-CCC courses (5.2.1 #2)-not only yours!: • Check for appropriate unit value (8.0) • Check for appropriate grades (9.0) • United States regionally accredited institution (11.0 and 5.0 at top) • Content trumps approval date! (under 5.2.1)

  8. Course Search Function ASSIST: “Articulation System Stimulating Interinstitutional Student Transfer” http://info.assist.org

  9. “Database,” then “ASSIST Maintenance Reports”

  10. “Click here to go to the ASSIST Maintenance Reports”

  12. Click on “Course Search”

  13. Under “Institutions” select “All Community College Campuses”

  14. Enter name of course in “Search in course title” box

  15. Select “Courses with any IGETC qualification” in “IGETC Areas”

  16. Scroll down and click on “Continue”

  17. Find course with similar title and click on “curric”

  18. Clicking on “curric” will list transfer status and IGETC area

  19. If available, Click on “PDF” for course description and outline

  20. Combining quarter and semester units to satisfy requirements (8.2) • Convert units to either all quarter or all semester units to satisfy an area, regardless of whether you are a quarter or semester institution • Example: Student has 6 semester units of Econ and 4 quarter units of general Psychology • 6 x 1.5 = 9 quarter units + 4 quarter units =13

  21. Upper Division Coursework (5.2.2) • For general introductory courses from an outside institution, the main consideration should be to: • Analyze course to determine if the course content matches an approved IGETC course • Please note: CSU requires 39 units of lower division coursework, so some students may need to take additional lower division coursework after transfer

  22. CSU U.S. History, Constitution and American Ideals Requirement (10.7) • CSU campuses have the discretion whether to allow courses used to satisfy the CSU United States History, Constitution and American Ideals (AI) graduation requirement to count in both Area 3B/4F and to meet the AI graduation requirement.

  23. Remember… Change is inevitable… ..except from a vending machine. Robert Gallagher The IGETC Standards, Policies and Procedures can be found at: www.cacctcw.org/igetc.htm
