California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC)

The California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC) is a series of courses that prospective California community college (CCC) transfer students may complete to satisfy the lower-division general education requirements at UC Santa Cruz, excluding the upper-division Disciplinary Communication (DC) requirement. As of fall 2025, Cal-GETC replaced IGETC as the singular general education pathway for students at the California Community Colleges.
