College, Redwood City, in 1968, and Sky-line College, San Bruno, in 1969. Construc-tion of Cañada and Skyline was made pos-sible in large part from proceeds from a sec-ond bond issue of $12.8 million approvedby District voters in 1964.

TheDistrict actively participates in the continu-ing development of the California Commu-nity Colleges as an integral and effectivecomponent of the structure of public highereducation in the State.
MissionIn an atmosphere of collegiality and sharedresponsibility, and with the objective ofsustaining open access for students and be-ing responsive to community needs, the SanMateo County Community College Districtwill fulfill the following mission with excel-lence:
1. provide a breadth of educational opportu-nities and experiences which encouragestudents to develop their general under-standing of human effort and achieve-ment;

Statement on AcademicFreedomThe San Mateo County Community CollegeDistrict is dedicated to maintaining a cli-mate of academic freedom encouraging thesharing and cultivation of a wide variety ofviewpoints. Academic freedom expressesour belief in inquiry, informed debate andthe search for truth; academic freedom isnecessary in order to provide students with avariety of ideas, to encourage them to en-gage in critical thinking and to help themunderstand conflicting opinions.
Academic freedom encompasses the freedomto study, teach and express ideas, includingunpopular or controversial ones, withoutcensorship or political restraint. Academicfreedom, rather than being a license to do orsay whatever one wishes, requires profes-sional competence, open inquiry and rigor-ous attention to the pursuit of truth.
The District's faculty have the right to ex-press their informed opinions which relate,directly or indirectly, to their professionalactivities, whether these opinions are ex-pressed in the classroom, elsewhere on cam-pus or at college-related functions. In asearch for truth and in a context of reasoned
GeneralInformationThe DistrictStarting with just 35 students when it firstopened its doors at the Baldwin campus indowntown San Mateo in 1922, San MateoCounty Community College District hasgrown to a complex of three modern cam-puses serving more than 25,000 day andevening students from throughout San Ma-teo County.
In early years, the District consisted only ofthe area within the San Mateo Union HighSchool District. In 1937, the JeffersonUnion and Half Moon Bay high school dis-tricts were included. Sequoia Union HighSchool and South San Francisco UnifiedSchool Districts became part of the CollegeDistrict in the 1960s; La Honda-PescaderoUnified School District joined in 1976.
First classes were held in a building sharedwith San Mateo High School in downtownSan Mateo. In 1923, the College moved to alarge house on the Kohl Estate, in what isnow San Mateo’s Central Park. Four yearslater, the high school occupied a new cam-pus and the College moved back to theBaldwin campus.
In 1939, a new CSM campus went into op-eration at North Delaware Street and Penin-sula Avenue, San Mateo, but because ofWorld War II, development of the site wascurtailed. When the war ended, the Collegeleased the Merchant Marine Cadet School atCoyote Point, San Mateo, and added thosefacilities to the classrooms at the Baldwinand Delaware campuses, conducting classessimultaneously at three separate locations.
In 1957, the Board of Trustees developed a25-year District master plan based on therecommendations of a citizens’ advisorycommittee, and the same year submitted a$5.9 million bond issue to voters that wasapproved by a three-to-one margin.
The bond issue victory cleared the way forprompt acquisition of the present College ofSan Mateo campus and also provided fundsfor purchase of a 111-acre site west of Sky-line Boulevard and south of Sharp ParkRoad in San Bruno. A third site, of 131acres west of the Farm Hill subdivision onthe Redwood City-Woodside line, was pur-chased in 1962.
The current College of San Mateo campuswas opened in 1963, followed by Cañada

academic debate, students also have theright to express their opinions and to ques-tion those presented by others.
Employment by the District does not in anyway restrict or limit the First Amendmentrights enjoyed by faculty as members oftheir communities. Faculty members arefree to speak and write publicly on any is-sue, as long as they do not indicate they arespeaking for the institution.
Protecting academic freedom is the respon-sibility of the college community. Therefore,in a climate of openness and mutual respect,free from distortion and doctrinal obligation,the District protects and encourages the ex-change of ideas, including unpopular ones,which are presented in a spirit of free andopen dialogue and constructive debate.
The CollegeCollege of San Mateo, the oldest of thethree colleges in San Mateo County Com-munity College District, is located on a 153-acre site that provides a panoramic view ofthe north Bay Area.
Completed at a cost of almost $19.5 million,the campus opened in 1963 and currentlyserves approximately 12,000 day andevening students. It enrolls students fromthe entire District, although its chief servicearea is central San Mateo County.
The College’s main educational structuresare built along a north-south axis providedby the main pedestrian mall. A second mall,running east and west, connects the FineArts Center with the Library. In addition tothree main lecture halls, the College has athree-building science center, an engineer-ing building, a planetarium and two com-plexes: one which houses dental assisting,cosmetology and nursing, and one whichhouses electronics and aeronautics. A sepa-rate area houses the horticulture programs,Extended Opportunities Programs and Ser-vices and the Multicultural Center.
To assist students in profiting from theireducation, the College helps them exploretheir interests and abilities, choose their lifework, and plan an educational programwhich will prepare them for that work. Itoffers this assistance through a formal pro-gram of guidance and counseling, andthrough informal student-teacher relation-ships which are among the most distinctiveand valuable of its services. The Collegerecognizes the educational value of orga-nized student activities and encourages stu-dents and faculty participation in these ac-tivities.
Situated close to San Francisco and severalfine colleges and universities, College ofSan Mateo is part of a colorful communitywhich enjoys many cultural advantages.Many College of San Mateo graduatestransfer to the University of California, Cali-fornia State Universities, and other majorpublic and private colleges and universities.Because the needs of these students whotransfer for upper division work are care-fully provided for in the curriculum, theCollege enjoys a fine reputation among theuniversities of the State. CSM graduateshave consistently had a pattern of success intransfer educational institutions. Many Col-lege of San Mateo students, having tempo-rarily completed their formal education withthe Associate in Arts or the Associate inScience degree, find employment in busi-ness and industry.

Financial AidThe Financial Aid Office at College of SanMateo is dedicated to the concept that no indi-vidual should be denied an education solely forfinancial reasons. Any student applying foradmission to the College who has a financialneed for assistance is urged to apply for aid.
The Financial Aid Office administers severalfederal grant, loan, and work-study pro-grams. In addition, it also administers theCal-Grant B and Cal-Grant C programs. Thepriority deadline for Cal-Grants is the March2 that precedes the new academic year. Forall federal and Cal Grant programs, exceptthe Pell Grant, students must be enrolled atleast half-time (6 units) to receive financialassistance.
Financial aid can assist students in paying forenrollment fees, books, transportation, roomand board, and other educationalexpenses. Students who need financial assis-tance to pay the enrollment fee are encour-aged to apply for the Board of GovernorsEnrollment Fee Waiver. There is no mini-mum unit requirement for this program.
All financial aid awards are based on need;the determination of need is based upon acareful analysis of family income and assets,liabilities, number of children, etc. While thedetermination of the student’s financial needis geared mainly to the student’s educationaland vocational career plans, it is recognizedthat frequently the student may have personalconsiderations that play an important part inthis determination. Each application is evalu-ated on an individual basis with special andextenuating circumstances taken into consid-eration. Students must meet certain academicprogress eligibility criteria prior to receivingfinancial aid and must maintain financial aidsatisfactory progress standards while receiv-ing financial aid.
While students may apply for federal aidthroughout the academic year, several pro-grams have limited funds. Students, there-fore, are strongly encouraged to apply by theMarch 2 priority deadline. Processing of thefinancial aid applications by the FinancialAid Office usually takes approximately 8weeks.
For information regarding specific assistanceprograms and financial aid satisfactoryprogress standards, students should visit theFinancial Aid Office on the second floor ofthe Administration Building, Room 217.Applications for small emergency loans areavailable through the Financial Aid Office.

Academic PoliciesAcademic Standards PolicyThe Academic Standards Policy of Collegeof San Mateo and the San Mateo CountyCommunity College District is based on acumulative grade point average of C (2.0),the minimum standard required for gradua-tion or transfer. A grade point average ofless than 2.0 is considered deficient.
Grade point average (GPA) is determinedby dividing the total number of gradepoints earned by the total number of GPAunits.
Academic standing, including determina-tion of probation or dismissal status, isbased upon all course work completed atCañada College, College of San Mateo,and/or Skyline College.
ProbationA student is placed on academic probationunder the following criteria:
1. Academic Probation based on gradepoint average: A student who has at-tempted at least 12 semester units, asshown by official records, is placed onacademic probation if the student hasearned a cumulative grade point averagebelow 2.0.
2. Academic probation based on failure tomaintain satisfactory progress: A studentwho has enrolled in a total of at least 12semester units, as shown by official rec-ords, is placed on academic probationwhen the percentage of all units in whicha student has enrolled for which entriesof W, I and NC are recorded reaches orexceeds 50 percent. (See Calendar fordeadline dates for withdrawal.)
The two probation criteria described aboveare applied in such a manner that a studentmay be placed on probation under either orboth systems and subsequently may be dis-missed under either or both systems.
A student on probation may petition theAcademic Standards Committee, in accor-dance with College procedures, for removalfrom probation if that status has resultedfrom unusual circumstances beyond thestudent’s control.
Removal From ProbationA student on academic probation on thebasis of grade point average is removedfrom probation when his/her cumulativegrade point average is 2.0 or higher.
A student on academic probation on thebasis of failure to maintain satisfactoryprogress is removed from probation whenthe percentage of units in this category nolonger equals or exceeds 50 percent.
DismissalA student on probation is subject to dis-missal if in any two subsequent semesterseither or both of the following criteria areapplicable:
1. The student’s cumulative grade pointaverage is less than 1.75 in all units at-tempted.
2. The cumulative total of units in whichthe student has been enrolled for whichentries of W, I and NC have been re-corded reaches or exceeds 50 percent.(See “Withdrawal.”)
Normally, a dismissed student must re-main out of day and evening classes forone semester before petitioning theAcademic Standards Committee forreinstatement.
A dismissed student may present a writtenappeal and appropriate documentation tothe Academic Standards Committee re-questing immediate reinstatement if dis-missal has resulted from unusual circum-stances. A registered student making suchan appeal should remain in classes until thedecision of the Academic Standards Com-mittee is made. Petitions are available in theOffice of Special Programs and Services.
Academic Renewal PolicyA maximum of two semesters and onesummer session of work completed at oneor more of the District colleges may beconsidered for Academic Renewal. Thesubstandard work (i.e., less than a 2.0grade point average) that is not reflectiveof the student’s present scholastic level ofperformance may be alleviated and disre-garded in the computation of grade pointaverage under the following conditions:
1. The academic renewal policy will be ap-plied only when alleviation of prior workis necessary to qualify a student for ad-mission to a program, for transfer to an-other institution, or for graduation fromor completion of a certificate program atCañada College, College of San Mateo orSkyline College. It is the responsibility ofthe student to establish that this conditionis met.
2. A period of at least three years must haveelapsed since the work to be alleviatedwas completed.
3. A semester is defined as all work doneduring a single academic term at one ormore of the District colleges. The termsneed not be consecutive. Only full semes-ters of substandard work can be allevi-ated; the policy cannot be applied tosingle courses.
4. A student seeking alleviation must havecompleted 9 units of work with a 3.5 cu-mulative grade point average, or 15 unitswith a 3.0 cumulative grade point aver-age, or 21 units with a 2.5 cumulativegrade point average, or 24 units with a2.0 cumulative grade point average sincethe work to be alleviated was completed.
5. The substandard work to be alleviatedmay have been completed at any collegeor university; however, the work uponwhich the application for alleviation isbased must be completed at Cañada Col-lege, College of San Mateo, and/or Sky-line College.
Determination of the applicability of thispolicy will be made only following formalapplication to the Office of Admissions andRecords. When academic work is alleviated,the permanent record is appropriately anno-tated in a manner to ensure that all entriesare legible and that a true and completerecord is maintained.

Attendance RegulationsStudents are strongly advised to attend thefirst class meeting of each class in whichthey register. If they cannot attend, theyshould notify the instructor in advance.Without prior notification, they may bedropped by the instructor and a waitingstudent admitted in their place.
Regular attendance in class and laboratorysessions is an obligation assumed by everystudent at the time of registration. By beingabsent from class, the student misses boththe content of the particular session and thecontinuity of the course as developed in asingle period of work. When a student’sfailure to attend class places his/her successin jeopardy, the instructor may drop the stu-dent from class.
In all cases it is the instructor’s prerogativeto determine when absences are excessive.An instructor has the right to drop a studentfrom class when such absences jeopardizethe student’s opportunity to successfullycomplete the class work or to benefit fromthe instruction. A guideline used by manyinstructors is that excessive absence is rep-resented by twice the number of hours theclass meets in one week for semester-longclasses and one-ninth of scheduled meetingsin classes which meet for less than a fullsemester.
Absence means non-attendance and in-cludes non-attendance for illness or personalemergency. Absences due to a student’sparticipation in a school-sponsored activityare to be considered as excused absences,but it is the student’s responsibility to notifythe instructor in advance of the absence, andthe student is responsible for all workmissed. It is noted again that it is theinstructor’s prerogative to determine whensuch absences are excessive.
Open EnrollmentEvery course offered at College of SanMateo (unless specifically exempted by le-gal statute) is open for enrollment and par-ticipation by any person who has been ad-mitted to the College and who meets theprerequisites of the course provided thatspace is available.
Sequential CoursesTo enroll in and receive credit for sequentialcourses, students must complete the coursesin order—e.g., English 800 must be com-pleted before English 100. Also, a studentmay not enroll in or receive credit for a
course taken after successful completion ofan equivalent course—e.g., French 111 can-not be taken after successful completion ofFrench 110.
Credit by ExaminationA currently enrolled student may be permit-ted to obtain credit for a limited number ofspecifically designated courses, if he/she isespecially qualified through previous train-ing or instruction and can demonstrate suchqualifications, by successfully completingan examination approved by the appropriatedivision. Interested students should contactthe appropriate Instructional Division Officeto inquire whether a particular course hasbeen designated for Credit by Examination.Petitions for Credit by Examination areavailable in the Office of Admissions andRecords.
Credit will not be allowed for a course forwhich credit has been previously granted orfor which credit has been earned in a moreadvanced course in the same sequence. Astudent may earn up to 12 units throughcredit by examination, which will be appliedtoward the A.A./A.S. degree. Units earnedby examination will NOT be counted forfinancial aid purposes.
A student may challenge a course for creditby examination only one time. A challengeexamination may not be used in order toimprove a grade already received for acourse.
Credit may also be earned through certainAdvanced Placement Examinations (seeAdvanced Placement Examination Credit onnext page) and through completion of cer-tain specialized certificate/license programs.
Academic Review CommitteeThe Academic Review Committee consid-ers requests for waivers and/or exceptionswith respect to academic policies. Inquiriesshould be directed to the Office of Admis-sions and Records.
Course RepetitionA. Repeated for CreditThe Board of Trustees of San Mateo CountyCommunity College District has adopted apolicy (District Rules and Regulations, Sec-tion 6.12) which permits a student to repeatcertain courses for credit a maximum of 3times (for a total of four class enrollments).These courses require increasing levels ofstudent performance or provide significantly
different course content each subsequentsemester. Such courses are designated as“may be repeated for credit” in the Collegecatalog. Courses which are not so desig-nated may not be repeated under this policy.Further information on this policy is avail-able from counselors/advisors.
B. Grade AlleviationA student who has received a grade of D, F,or NC in a course taken at a college of theSan Mateo County Community CollegeDistrict may repeat the course one time forthe purpose of grade alleviation. Under un-usual circumstances, a student may petitionthe Vice President, Student Services, forpermission to repeat a course more thanonce. Upon satisfactory completion of therepeated course (an A, B, C or CR grade),the student must petition the Office of Ad-missions and Records to have the grade ofthe repeated course used in computation ofthe grade-point average. The original gradewill remain on the transcript, but will nolonger affect the grade point average. Thepermanent academic record shall be anno-tated in such a way that all courses at-tempted will be indicated on the transcriptin showing a true and complete academichistory.
Course repetition completed at any collegeof the San Mateo County Community Col-lege District will be honored; course repeti-tion involving work completed at a non-district institution may be honored. Studentsmay apply for such consideration to the Of-fice of Admissions and Records. In no casewill the unit value of a course be countedmore than once. Courses in which the stu-dent has received grades other than those ofD, F or NC are not subject to the provisionsof this policy.
C. Special CircumstancesUnder special educationally justifiable cir-cumstances, repetition of credit coursesother than those for which substandard workhas been recorded may be permitted. Thestudent must obtain prior written permissionfrom a counselor/advisor before such courserepetition will be authorized. Normally, astudent may repeat such a course only once.Under unusual circumstances, a student maypetition the Vice President, Student Ser-vices, for permission to repeat a coursemore than once. When evaluating astudent’s transcript for graduation, gradesawarded for courses repeated under thisprovision are not considered in calculatingthe student’s grade point average, and in nocase is the unit value of the repeated coursecounted more than once.

Transfer of CreditStudents expecting to transfer to a four-yearcollege or university can usually completetheir freshman and sophomore years at Col-lege of San Mateo. Students must normallycomplete 60 transferable semester units tobe classified as juniors upon entering a four-year college or university.
Students enrolled in a transfer program cancomplete most of their general educationand lower division requirements beforetransferring. High school subject deficien-cies may be made up at College of SanMateo in order to meet university admissionrequirements. In some instances studentsmay qualify for transfer to the college oftheir choice by maintaining an acceptablegrade point average at College of SanMateo in a minimum of 56 units of appro-priate transfer courses.
Requirements for TransferStudentsA student can transfer from College of SanMateo to a four-year college or university asa junior without loss of time or credits bycompleting the following:
1. Lower Division Preparation for theMajor . These courses, which should becompleted before transferring, provide thenecessary background and preparation inorder for the student to transfer into theirmajor as a junior. See the Major Prepara-tion Recommendations section of the cata-log and check with the Transfer Center.
2. General Education Requirements(sometimes called “Breadth Require-ments”). These are the courses required toobtain a bachelor’s degree regardless ofmajor. Courses in writing, critical think-ing, sciences, humanities and social sci-ences are included in general education.
3. Electives. When courses for the majorand general education requirements havebeen completed, enough elective coursesmust be taken in order to bring the totalof all course work to a minimum of 56transferable units.
Transfer AdmissionProceduresStudents should take the following steps inapplying for admission as a transfer studentto a four-year college or university:
1. Request applications from the admissionsoffice of the transfer institution approxi-mately one year in advance of plannedtransfer. Applications for the Universityof California and the California StateUniversity are available at CSM in theTransfer Center, Counseling Center andOffice of Counseling Services.
2. Submit completed application forms dur-ing the specified filing period. Studentsare discouraged from sending them earlyas they will not be accepted before theinitial filing date.
3. If an entrance exam (SAT, ACT) is re-quired for transfer admission, register forthe exam as soon as possible, at least sixmonths in advance of transfer. Registra-tion forms are available from the CSMTesting Office, located in the CounselingCenter (Bldg. 1, Room 130).
4. Submit a request to the CSM Office ofAdmissions and Records to have a tran-script of your academic record sent to thetransfer institution at the time(s) specifiedby that institution. Transcripts must berequested well in advance of the daterequired. Four-year colleges and universitieswill also require transcripts of work com-pleted at all other educational institutions.
California State UniversityThe California State University offers in-struction to undergraduate and master’s de-gree students in the liberal arts and sciences,applied fields, and professions, includingteaching. Nearly 1,500 degree programs in240 subject areas are offered. CSU assignshigh priority to California community col-lege transfer students who have completedthe first two years of their baccalaureateprogram, including those applying for im-pacted programs. CSU campuses make ev-ery effort to see that California communitycollege transfer students originally eligiblefor admission as first-time freshmen areadmitted to their first-choice campus.
Transfer PlanningThis section is designed to help studentsplan an educational program at CSM whichwill prepare them to transfer to the Univer-sity of California, California State Univer-sity, or a private college or university toearn a bachelor’s degree. Students are en-couraged to meet regularly with a CSMcounselor/advisor and use the resources ofthe CSM Transfer Center to plan an aca-demic program which will assure a smoothtransition to the transfer institution of theirchoice. In addition to completing transferrequirements, students may also earn unitstoward an Associate in Arts or Associate inScience degree at CSM. With careful plan-ning, both objectives can be reached by tak-ing essentially the same set of transferablecourses.
CSM Transfer CenterThe CSM Transfer Center provides infor-mation and offers workshops on choosing acollege, transfer admission requirements,completing admission applications, writingthe application essay, and financial aid.Transfer Center staff can provide detailsabout special Transfer Admission Agree-ments that CSM has developed with a num-ber of four-year institutions which can guar-antee students transfer admission.
Students with a clear transfer objectivestand the best chance of meeting require-ments in a timely manner. They can makethe best use of their time and course workby deciding on a transfer institution andmajor as soon as possible. Students unableto make these decisions when they enterCollege of San Mateo may follow a generaltransfer pattern of courses while taking ad-vantage of Transfer Center resources inmaking transfer plans.
Once they have chosen a major and the uni-versity to which they plan to transfer, stu-dents should consult the Major PreparationRecommendations section of this Catalog todetermine whether specific CSM coursesare listed for their intended major and uni-versity. Transfer Center staff and CSMcounselors/advisors can assist students inplanning for transfer, and university repre-sentatives often visit CSM to meet with stu-dents interested in transferring to their insti-tutions. It is wise for students to consult thecatalog of the university to which they planto transfer to become familiar with specifictransfer admission requirements. Many col-lege and university catalogs are available for

California IndependentColleges and UniversitiesThere are more than 300 privately supported(or independent) degree-granting collegesand universities in California. Independentinstitutions enroll about one-quarter of allstudents attending four-year colleges anduniversities in California. The most distinc-tive feature of California’s accredited inde-pendent colleges and universities is theirdiversity of character, academic emphasis,and programs. They include both religiousand secular institutions, non-profit andprofit-making institutions, and professionalschools that offer only a single occupationalspecialty as well as universities offering afull array of bachelor’s, master’s, and doc-toral degree programs.
When choosing from among the privatelysupported colleges and universities in Cali-fornia, you may wish to review the type ofcertification a particular institution has re-ceived. Note: In selecting a California inde-pendent college or university, students areadvised to give first priority to those institu-tions which are fully accredited by theWestern Association of Schools and Col-leges. If you would like more informationabout the certification process as specifiedin California’s Education Code, please con-tact the California Postsecondary EducationCommission at (916) 445-7933.
The California State University has twenty-two campuses: Bakersfield, CaliforniaMaritime Academy, Chico, DominguezHills, Fresno, Fullerton, Hayward,Humboldt, Long Beach, Los Angeles,Monterey Bay, Northridge, Pomona, Sacra-mento, San Bernardino, San Diego, SanFrancisco, San Jose, San Luis Obispo, SanMarcos, Sonoma and Stanislaus.
University of CaliforniaThe University of California offersbachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degree pro-grams in a broad array of subject areas. Lastyear, more than 6,000 students transferredfrom California’s community colleges to theUniversity, and more than one-fifth of UC’sbachelor degrees were awarded to studentswho started out at a community college. TheUniversity is encouraging even more com-munity college students to take this step inthe coming years.
The University of California has a long-established relationship with College of SanMateo and has developed several specialprograms to help community college stu-dents with the transfer process. The Uni-versity’s articulation agreements with CSMmake it possible for prospective transferstudents to select appropriate courses. Com-munity college students receive priorityconsideration for transfer admission. TheIntersegmental General Education TransferCurriculum allows prospective transfer stu-dents to satisfy the lower division breadth/general education requirements of any UCcampus before transferring.
While all of the campuses have the samerequirements for undergraduate admission,they differ in size, enrollment, and in aca-demic programs offered. The UC campusesare located in a variety of community set-tings throughout the State with enrollmentsranging from 9,000 at Riverside, to 35,000at Los Angeles. In addition, the nine cam-puses vary in styles of campus life, withstudent populations reflecting a variety ofcultures from the United States and abroad.The University of California includes eightgeneral campuses: Berkeley, Davis, Irvine,Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego, SantaBarbara, and Santa Cruz. A ninth campus inSan Francisco offers graduate and profes-sional programs in the health sciences.
Certification of GeneralEducationCollege of San Mateo will verify thecompletion of lower division general educa-tion requirements for transfer to the Univer-sity of California or the California StateUniversity system. Certification of partialcompletion of general education require-ments is available for students transferringto a CSU campus who are unable to com-plete all requirements before transferring.
Students who transfer without certificationwill be required to meet the general educa-tion requirements of the specific UC orCSU campus to which they transfer. Meet-ing these local requirements usually necessi-tates taking additional courses followingtransfer. The Intersegmental General Educa-tion Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) meetsthe requirements of both the UC and CSUsystems. See pages 49 and 50 for details.

Intersegmental GeneralEducation TransferCurriculum (IGETC)The Academic Senates of the University ofCalifornia, the California State University,and the California Community Colleges ap-proved the implementation in Fall 1991 of anIntersegmental General Education TransferCurriculum (IGETC), a series of courses thatcommunity college students can use to sat-isfy lower division general education require-ments at any CSU or UC campus.
Completion of the IGETC does not guaranteeadmission to CSU or UC. The IGETC per-mits a student to transfer from a communitycollege to a campus in either the CSU or UCsystem without the need, after transfer, to takeadditional lower-division general educationcourses to satisfy campus G.E. requirements.
Completion of the IGETC is not a require-ment for admission to a CSU or UC, nor is itthe only way to fulfill the lower-division gen-eral education requirements of the CSU orUC prior to transfer. Students may find itadvantageous to take courses fulfillingCSU’s general education requirements orthose of a particular UC campus. Studentspursuing majors that require extensive lower-division major preparation may not find theIGETC option to be their best choice. TheIGETC will probably be most useful for stu-dents who want to keep their options openbefore making a final decision about transfer-ring to a particular CSU or UC campus.
In preparing for transfer to a CSU or UCcampus in a specific major, students shouldconsult their counselor/advisor concerningrecommended major preparation courseswhich parallel those taken by freshmen andsophomores at the CSU/UC campus.
IMPORTANT NOTE:The course requirements for all areas mustbe completed before the IGETC can becertified by College of San Mateo. Allcourses must be completed with grades of Cor better. A course cannot be used in morethan one subject area.

IGETC Advisement
Students Who HaveAttended UC or CSUPrior to Enrolling at CSMThe following limitations on the use ofIGETC are applicable:
As a general rule, IGETC can be certifiedfor CSM transfers who have also completedtransfer units at a CSU or UC provided thatthe student has completed most (50%) ofthe transfer units at one or more CaliforniaCommunity College(s).
For the UC: Students who initially enroll ata UC campus, then leave and attend a Cali-fornia Community College, and subse-quently return to the same UC campus areconsidered “re-admits” by the UC. Suchstudents CANNOT use the IGETC. How-ever, students who enroll at a UC campus,then leave and attend a California Commu-nity College, and subsequently return to adifferent UC campus may be able to useIGETC. Because students leave the UC sys-tem under a variety of circumstances, eachcase will be evaluated on an individual basisby the UC campus applied to.
In all cases where there may be a questionabout using IGETC after having been en-rolled at a campus of the UC or CSU, pleasecontact the university campus you wish toattend.
Course Work Taken atInstitutions Outside theUnited StatesBecause of the degree of training and exper-tise required to evaluate course work takenat foreign educational institutions, foreigncourse work is not allowed as part of astudent’s IGETC certification. Students witha substantial amount of foreign course workare encouraged to follow the CSU General-Education program or UC campus generaleducation program.
Course Work at Independentor Out-Of-State InstitutionsCourses completed at a California indepen-dent or out-of-state post-secondary institu-tion may be included in a student’s certifica-tion if the Instructional Division determinesthat the course work completed at anotherinstitution is equivalent to course work onCSM’s approved IGETC list.

institutions other than California Commu-nity Colleges will not have a combinedcourse in critical thinking-English composi-tion, certification of course work from otherinstitutions to satisfy this requirement is notencouraged by UC and CSU.
Other UC RequirementsBecause all courses used for the IGETCmust be completed before entering the Uni-versity of California, it is sometimes mistak-enly considered an admission requirement.The IGETC does not change existing Uni-versity and campus-specific transfer admis-sion or prerequisite requirements. However,it is important to understand the relationshipof UC admission, general education breadth(IGETC or campus-specific), major prepa-ration and graduation requirements.
UC Transfer AdmissionRequirementsThe University has a common set of re-quirements which specify minimum eligibil-ity, in terms of subject and scholarshiplevel, for admission as a transfer student.Students must earn at least a 2.40 overallGPA to be minimally eligible to transfer.However, several campuses and majorshave additional requirements (i.e., “selec-tion criteria”) that may go well beyondminimum eligibility, and usually include ahigher GPA and/or completion of lowerdivision major preparation courses. This isparticularly true for programs where thenumber of applications greatly exceeds thenumber of spaces available. It is imperativethat transfers applying to such campusesand majors meet these additional require-ments so they are competitive for admission.
UC General Education/Breadth RequirementsThese requirements are designed to give Uni-versity undergraduates a broad backgroundin a variety of major academic disciplines.Each school and college at every UC campushas its own set of requirements, accountingfor more than 40 general education patternssystemwide. This presents a confusing arrayof choices for transfer students, especiallythose applying to more than one UC campus.
Major PreparationRequirementsThese requirements stipulate the coursesstudents need in order to have the appropri-ate academic background for a particularmajor. Transfer students who have selecteda major should work toward completing alllower division requirements for that major.In fact, in many cases, completing a portionof the major requirements is essential togain admission to the major at the juniorlevel (See pages 90-121.)
The IGETC is most advantageous for trans-fers who have not yet decided on a major ora campus. Once a student has identified amajor, it is important for him or her to worktoward fulfilling any required preparatorycourses - particularly in those professionalor “high unit” majors that select applicantson the basis of satisfaction of lower divisionmajor requirements. It is important to notethat this does not preclude a student fromfollowing the IGETC; however, the IGETCshould not be done to the exclusion of com-pleting any preparatory courses needed foradmission.
In general, it is not advisable for transfers toEngineering majors at any UC campus touse the IGETC. Students entering “highunit” majors, such as those in the sciences,can follow the IGETC but must be carefulto complete any needed lower division ma-jor preparation.
UC Graduation RequirementsThese requirements are campus-specific andinclude courses that all students, regardlessof major, must complete in order to graduate.
UC Campus-SpecificInformationThe listing below specifies the various ma-jors, by campus, that have substantial lowerdivision prerequisites that may make theIGETC option inappropriate for transfers tofollow:
BerkeleyThe Colleges of Engineering, Environmen-tal Design, Chemistry and Natural Re-sources, and the Haas School of Business allhave extensive and very prescribed majorrequirements. Consequently, the IGETC isnot appropriate for majors in these colleges.
Applicants to the College of Letters andScience can follow the IGETC, keeping inmind that preparation for the major is veryimportant. Berkeley requires completion ofIGETC by the end of the spring term beforeentering Berkeley in the fall.
DavisThe IGETC is not appropriate for studentstransferring to majors in the College of En-gineering and the College of Agricultureand Environmental Sciences. In addition,majors in Biological Sciences, Psychology,and Environmental Policy Analysis andPlanning are “high unit” majors with sub-stantial lower division preparation neededfor admission. The IGETC can be done, butstudents must take care to meet the lowerdivision requirements for these majors.
IrvineThe IGETC is not optimal for transfers tothe Schools of Engineering, Biological Sci-ences or Physical Sciences. Students enter-ing any major can use the IGETC, butshould consider lower division degree re-quirements and major preparation whenplanning their programs.
Los AngelesThe IGETC is not appropriate for studentstransferring to the School of Engineeringand Applied Science, and the School ofNursing. All majors in the School of The-ater, Film and Television, the School of theArts, and the College of Letters and Sciencewill honor the IGETC. Students enteringmajors that require specific or substantialpreparation, such as science majors, mayuse the IGETC but need to carefully plantheir programs.
RiversideThe IGETC is not appropriate for studentstransferring to the College of Engineering.Students entering the Biological or PhysicalSciences should be aware that the IGETCrequirements exceed the breadth require-ments for the College of Natural and Agri-cultural Sciences, and that these majors re-quire substantial lower division preparation.The IGETC works well for all majors in theCollege of Humanities and Social Sciences.Students preparing to study Business Ad-ministration are encouraged to complete theIGETC, as well as lower division majorpreparation, to promote admission to thisprogram.

San DiegoThe IGETC is not appropriate for students
transferring to majors in the Division ofEngineering. Students entering any othermajor, however, can successfully use theIGETC. It is important to remember that twoof the five colleges at San Diego, EleanorRoosevelt and Revelle, will not accept theIGETC.
Santa BarbaraThe IGETC is not appropriate for students
transferring to the College of Engineering.Students planning to major in: BiologicalSciences, Biopsychology, Chemistry,Environmental Science, Geology, orGeophysics can use the IGETC, but must becareful to complete lower division majorprerequisites if they are to make normal,timely progress through the major.
Santa CruzAlthough all majors at UCSC will honor the
IGETC, students planning to major in:Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Computerand Information Sciences, ComputerEngineering, or Earth Sciences, must payspecial attention to completing lowerdivision major prerequisites if they are tomake normal, timely progress through themajor.

STANFORD UNIVERSITYStudents are encouraged to select as rigorousan academic program as possible, and achievedistinction and excellence in a range ofacademic courses. In evaluating a student’sacademic record, Stanford must see that thecandidate can sustain an excellent record ofachievement; it is strongly recommended thatprospective applicants take a full-time load forat least one year before applying for transfer.In addition to completion of selected majorrequirements, students are encouraged to havea broad, balanced and rigorous liberal artseducation that includes course work in thehumanities, social sciences, and naturalsciences. Students may wish to consider theIGETC-UC program of requirements whenlooking for a model of a rigorous and balancedprogram. Yet even when selecting courses onthe IGETC list, students should choose themore rigorous courses. Like those who enterStanford as freshmen, junior transfer studentsare expected to have completed courses in awide range of disciplines, includinghumanities, social science, mathematics,science, and technology.Students are encouraged to enroll in CSMhonors courses. For students who propose touse work taken at another college or universityto satisfy a Stanford graduation requirement,the Office of the Register’s credit evaluationstaff determines, after appropriate facultyconsultation, whether the work is comparableto any of the specifically certified Stanfordcourses or course sequences.
