CSU General Education
Students have two options for completing lower division general education requirements: the CSU General Education Pattern (yellow sheet) or the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC - lavender sheet). The CSU General Education Pattern is accepted at all campuses of CSU; IGETC is accepted at all campuses of CSU and UC.
California State University General Education Pattern (yellow sheet)
If you select the CSU GE Pattern and complete all 39 units of general education requirements, Cabrillo College will certify that you have completed all lower division general education and you will be required to complete only upper division general education requirements after you transfer. While it is not mandatory that you complete all 39 units of the CSU GE Pattern prior to transfer, you are well advised to do so.

If you select the IGETC, be sure to complete all requirements prior to transfer or you will be required to meet the lower division general education requirements of the campus to which you transfer; this may lengthen your education unnecessarily.
Note: IGETC is not recommended for some high unit majors and at some campuses. To check to see if IGETC is accepted for your major or campus—check the ASSIST-Exploring Majors feature at www.assist.org. Choose Exploring Majors then your transfer campus then your major and information on IGETC's use will be displayed.
