Transferable Curriculum Mt. San Jacinto College courses numbered 100 or above are generally accepted for transfer. These courses are designed to parallel lowerdivision offerings at four-year colleges and universities. Through the transfer curriculum at MSJC, students may complete freshman and sophomore level requirements in two years and transfer to the university with junior level or upper division status. These courses are intended as lower division transferable coursework only and may be used toward elective units, general education, in-lieu-of courses, prerequisite requirements, major preparation requirements, or direct course-to-course equivalence. Each receiving institution determines the transferability of a course and the maximum units accepted during the transfer process. Knowing the transfer status of a course does not inform the student if a particular course satisfies requirements for admissions, subject area, major preparation, general education, or other graduation requirements at each university. At the very least, course credit does equate to elective unit credit when transferred. Please refer to the UC Transfer Course Agreement or CSU Baccalaureate list for credit limitations. These documents are located at www.assist.org or in the Career/Transfer Center. For clarification make regular appointments with MSJC counselors to expedite your educational goals.

A student may transfer a maximum of 70 transferable units from a community college to campuses of either the University of California or the California State University systems. Private Universities may accept more than the 70 unit maximum. It is advised that students transfer with a minimum of 60 transferable units to ensure that they are admitted to the four-year institution with junior or upper division status. Students who have not taken the SAT or ACT during their senior year in high school MUST have a minimum of 60 transferable units. SAT or ACT score are not necessary when transferring with upper division status from a community college.
General Education-Breadth Agreements for Transfer These agreements are the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) and the CSU General Education-Breadth Requirements (CSU-GE). These agreements are updated in late spring each year and the most current information is available in the MSJC Counseling Offices and Career/Transfer Centers. IGETC is the pattern a California Community College student may follow to complete lowerdivision general education requirements for either the CSU or UC system prior to transfer. A grade of “C” or better is required in each area of IGETC and when certified, the transfer student will not need to take additional lower-division general education after transfer. The IGETC transfer pattern is not recommended for high-unit majors like Math & Science. Students transferring to the UC system are not required to take Area 1C and students transferring to CSU are not required to take Area 6. See the following pages for the acceptable MSJC courses on the 2007-2008 IGETC transfer patterns. CSU-GE Breadth is the pattern a California Community College student may follow for a smooth transition into the CSU system. When fully certified, the CSU-GE transfer pattern eliminates the CSU campus-specific lowerdivision general education requirements and allows transfer students the option of applying to any CSU campus. The community college is responsible for certifying no more than 39 semester units on the CSU-GE pattern.
