Previous College Level Courses & IGETC

Preparing to Register for Classes

Your Orientation Academic Advisor will explain UCSB requirements, and help you select and register for your fall courses. Before you can register, you may need to take some important steps. Read the information in this section and make the appropriate preparations so that course registration at Orientation will be as smooth as possible.

IGETC

The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) is a program of courses accepted in lieu of the UCSB general education program. Normally, it must be completed prior to transfer. You must have your community college send IGETC certification and your final transcripts to the UCSB Admissions Office. Please consult your community college counselor before your Orientation session to determine whether you have completed IGETC.
All students who have not completed IGETC are required to attend Academic Advising at 10:45am during Orientation.

Previous College Level Courses

All course prerequisites as listed in the 2008-2009 UCSB General Catalog will be enforced during course registration. The online version of the UCSB General Catalog is at www.catalog.ucsb.edu. If you have met a UCSB course prerequisite with transfer level courses or test scores, you must contact the department offering the course prior to attending Orientation. Proof of prerequisite completion must be on file with the appropriate UCSB department prior to registering for the course at Orientation or in any future quarter. Bring copies of transcripts (unofficial copies are acceptable), grade reports, and test scores to Orientation to show proof of prerequisite completion.
