IGETC is a general education pattern that, upon full or “partial” (all but two courses) certification, will satisfy all or most lower-division general education requirements at California State University (CSU) campuses, most University of California (UC) campuses/majors, and some private/independent or out-of state universities. All courses must be passed with a grade of “C” or higher. IGETC certification is not recommended for “high-unit” majors. Complete a Guidance class or meet with a counselor to accurately plan coursework to satisfy transfer admission and upper-division major requirements.
Deciding on a college and/or choosing to embark on a career path can feel overwhelming! The BVCS counseling staff are here to walk students and parents through the process beginning in ninth grade and culminating with each seniors choosing the best personal path. We work to demystify the college admission process. Using the most current technical tools, we enable students to become informed stakeholders and responsible decision-makers. We know the college admissions process is a family experience, so we invite parents to work with us to help students plan for college, career and life.
