Counselors:

Transfer to University of California (UC):

If a student wishes to transfer as a junior to any of the campuses of the University of California, he or she should generally plan to complete at least 60 transferable units with at least a 2.4 GPA at Palo Verde College. The 60 units include those required in the major and those needed for completion on the general education requirements.

UC Riverside and Palo Verde College have established a Transfer Admissions Guarantee (TAG) program to encourage students to transfer to UCR and to facilitate that process. Contact the Transfer and Career Center Director/Counselor at Palo Verde College, or click on the link below in order to obtain admission information with UCR.

• UC Riverside is available at http://www.ucr.edu
• UC Berkeley updated Transfer Summary

 

Transfer to California State University (CSU):

Students planning to graduate from any of the 23 CSU campuses should complete the CSU GE Breadth requirements prior to transfer. Upon the completion of the 60 transferable units and CSU GE, at the student's request, Palo Verde College can certify the student has fulfilled all lower-division GE requirements. It is to the student's advantage to complete the entire pattern before transfer.

Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC):

The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum is a general education program that California community college transfer students can use to fulfill lower-division general education requirements at any CSU or University of California campus. This curriculum provides an alternative to the CSU General Education-Breadth requirements and the local UC GE/Breadth requirements. It is important to note that the IGETC is not an admission requirement nor does completion of IGETC guarantee admission to the campus or program of choice.

CSU General Education-Breadth Requirements:

The CSU General Education-Breadth (GE-Breadth) program allows California community college transfer students to fulfill lower-division general education requirements at any CSU campus prior to transfer. This curriculum provides an alternative to the IGETC requirements, and to the local university GE/Breadth requirements. It is important to note that CSU GE-Breadth certification is not an admission requirement, nor does completion guarantee admission to the campus or program of choice. The GE-Breadth program requires that students who select this option complete at least 60 semester units of general education to receive the baccalaureate degree.

ASSIST Software:

ASSIST is a computerized student-transfer information system that can be accessed over the World Wide Web. It displays reports of how course credits earned at one California college or university can be applied when transferred to another. ASSIST is the official repository of articulation for California's colleges and universities and therefore provides the most accurate and up-to-date information available about student transfer in California.

• ASSIST is available at http://www.assist.org
