California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC)
On This Page
Overview
Cal-GETC is a pattern of Foothill College courses that fulfills lower-division general education requirements for transfer to California State University (CSU) and University of California (UC). Many private universities also recognize Cal-GETC for fulfillment of general education requirements. Course requirements for all areas of Cal-GETC must be completed with a grade of C or better and certified by Foothill College for university credit. Submit a request for Cal-GETC certification at the Counseling Center or Admissions Office. For updated course information, consult your counselor or visit assist.org.
Cal-GETC begins in Fall Quarter 2025. Students who enroll in Summer Session 2025 or earlier and maintain catalog rights through continuous enrollment may still use the CSU GE Breadth or IGETC pattern. Students are strongly recommended to meet with a counselor to discuss the best general education pattern for their goals.
