Which Classes Should I Take? IGETC or Certificate
What is IGETC?
IGETC is the pattern of courses you take to graduate with an Associate's Degree and transfer to a 4-year university.
Most Common Course Load is 4-6 classes each semester for a total of 12-18 units.
12-18 units = 12-18 hours of class per week
Classes may be online, hybrid of online and in person, or in person
Want to graduate in 2 years? You need 15 or more units every semester (not including summer.)
Summer classes help to make sure you graduate on time.
Example of Fall Semester: English (4 units) + Math (5 units) + Film (3 units) + Public Speaking (3 units) = 4 classes and 15 units
In addition to IGETC, you need to complete classes in your Major. Google Moorpark College + Name of Major to find out. Example: Moorpark College Business Major
What's a Certificate?
For students who want to step into the work force after Moorpark College.
Takes about 18 months to earn your Certificate.
You can receive a Certificate in any subject area: Arts. Media & Entertainment, Business & Technology, Communication & Languages, Education & Teaching, Health & Wellness, Human Behavior & Society, Science & Math.

IGETC Example.pdfPre-Requisite Clearance For Your Course
What is a Pre-Requisite? A class you must take first before taking a more challenging class
How do I know if my class has a Pre-Requisite? When you are looking at a class schedule, there is a column labeled "Pre/Coreq" If the words "Pre/Coreq" are in blue under that column, click on it. The description of the class will tell you the pre-requisite class you need to register for that class.
Example: CHEM M01A = Prerequisites: CHEM M11 or CHEM M12 or one year of high school chemistry, or equivalent and MATH M03 or two years of high school algebra (equivalent to Intermediate Algebra), or equivalent.
Step #1 Fill out the Clearance Form
Step #2 Email your High School transcript to mcprereq@vcccd.edu - This email must come from your MyVCCCD email account (not your personal or high school emails)
Step #3 Wait up to 72 hours for an email that states your Pre-Requisite has been cleared. Then go and register for the class.
