INTERSEGMENTAL GENERAL EDUCATION TRANSFER CURRICULUM (IGETC)
The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) consists of a series of courses that community college students can use to satisfy lower division general education requirements for a CSU or UC campus. The IGETC provides an option to the California State University General Education Requirements.
Certification of IGETC will permit the student to transfer from the community college to a campus in either the California State University or the University of California system without the need, after transfer, to take additional lower-division, gen- eral education courses to satisfy campus general education requirements.
The following courses have been approved by the Inter-seg- mental Committee as fulfilling the IGETC requirements.

SYSTEM
LOWER DIVISION TRANSFER REQUIREMENTS –
Students who have completed fewer than 56 transferable semester (84 quarter) units qualify for admission if they have a grade point average of 2.0 (C) or better in all transferable units attempted, are in good standing at the last college or university attended, and meet the admission requirements for first-time freshmen, i.e., have completed with a grade of (C) or better each of the courses in the comprehensive pattern of college prepara- tory subject requirements and have a qualifiable eligibility index. If students did not complete all the subject requirements in high school, appropriate college courses may be used to make up the missing subjects. Non-residents must meet the eligibility index for non-residents.
UPPER DIVISION TRANSFER REQUIREMENTS –
Students who have completed at least 56 transferable semester (84 quarter) units, have a grade point average of 2.0 (C) or bet- ter in all transferable units attempted (nonresidents must have a grade point average of 2.4), and are in good standing at the last college or university attended, may become eligible if they: Complete at least 30 semester (45 quarter) units of college courses with a grade of C or better in each course to be
equivalent to courses that meet general education require- ments. The 30 semester (45 quarter) units must include all if the general education requirements in communica- tion in the English language (at least 9 semester or 12 quarter units to include written communication, oral com- munication, and critical thinking) and mathematics (at least 3 semester or 4 quarter units) or, completion of the intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum, English communication (at least 9 semester or 12 quarter units in English composition, oral communication, and critical thinking) and the requirement in mathematics (at least 3 semester or 4 quarter units).
GENERAL EDUCATION PATTERN FOR BACHELOR DEGREES AT THE CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITIES Outlined below is the Certification Program developed by San José City College. Careful educational planning will enable stu- dents to complete not only the general education requirements for transfer, but also the general education required for the Associate Degree. Consult a counselor for assistance in corre- lating these requirements.
Students must complete a total of 39 units in the 5 categories listed below. A course used to satisfy a requirement in one area may not be used to satisfy a requirement in another area. Generally, courses used to satisfy major requirements may not be used to satisfy general education requirements.
“Certification” or “Partial Certification” may be requested on a Transcript request form available in the Admissions and Records Office.

Allof Area A and B4 must be completed prior to transferring.

NUMBER
SYSTEM
(CAN)
San José City College participates in the CAN System. This sys- tem uses a common number to identify some of the transferable lower division, introductory courses commonly taught within each academic discipline at California college campuses. The system assures students that CAN courses on one participating campus will be accepted “in lieu of” the comparable CAN courses on another participating campus. For example, CAN AJ 2 on one campus will be accepted for CAN AJ 2 on another par- ticipating campus, while each campus retains its own course number.
The CAN designator is included in the course description chap- ter of this catalog. A list of participating colleges and their qualified courses is available at the CAN Web Page www.can- system.org. Counselors are also available to assists students.
SCHOLASTIC
STANDARDS
HONORS LISTSPlacement on an Honors List recognizes the student’s academ- ic achievement during the previous semester.
To be eligible for an Honors List, the student must have earned at least 6 units of grades “A”, “B”, “C”, or “D” within the semes- ter. Optional “CR” and “NC” grades will exclude a student from the Honors Lists; however, the optional “CR” and “NC” can be converted to its corresponding letter grade, at which time the GPA will be recalculated and appropriate academic honors awarded. Mandatory “CR” grades will not exclude a student from any of the Honors Lists, as long as, the student has earned at least 6 units of grades “A”, “B”, “C”, or “D” within the semester.
Dean’s List
To be eligible, the student must earn between a 3.50 and a 3.99 grade point average.
President’s List
To be eligible, the student must earn a 4.00 grade point average.
HONORS AT GRADUATION
Graduation with Honors is granted to graduating students who earn an overall grade point average of between 3.50 and 3.99 in all units attempted from all accredited post secondary insti- tutions.
To be eligible for Honors at graduation, a student must convert all optional credit/no-credit grades to the earned letter grade.
PROBATION AND DISMISSAL PROCEDURES
The probation procedure serves to inform the student that his/her academic performance is below minimum college stan- dards. The combined probation and dismissal procedure is intended to encourage the student to take steps necessary for improvement, and those steps may include a reassessment of educational, vocational and personal goals. The dismissal pro- cedure allows the student the opportunity to justify his/her continued enrollment through a plan of action which is judged by a counselor as enabling the student to meet the minimum academic standards during the next semester of enrollment. Academic Probation
A student who has attempted at least 12 semester units of let- ter grades (“A”, “B”, “C”, “D” and “F”) shall be placed on Academic Probation if the student has earned a cumulative grade point average below 2.0.
Progress Probation
A student who has enrolled in a total of at least 12 semester units, as shown by the Permanent Record, shall be placed on Progress Probation when the percentage of all units in which a student has enrolled since Fall 1981 and for which entries of “I”, “W”, and “NC” are recorded reaches or exceeds fifty per- cent (50%).
Continuing Probation
Students on Probation (Academic or Progress) will be placed on Continuing Probation for the subsequent semester of enroll- ment if they have not earned the required grade point average necessary to be removed from Academic Probation, or have not received less than 50% of all accumulative grades in “I”, “W”, or “NC” since Fall, 1981 to be removed from Progress Probation. Academic Dismissal
A student who is on continuing Academic Probation shall be dismissed from the District when the student earns in letter grade classes (“A”, “B”, “C”, “D” and “F”) an accumulative grade point average of less than 2.0 in the subsequent term of enrollment.
Progress Dismissal
A student who is on continuing Progress Probation shall be dis- missed if at the end of the subsequent term of enrollment the percentage of units in which the student has been enrolled and for which entries of “I”, “W”, and “NC” are recorded reaches or exceeds fifty percent (50%).
Clearing Probation or Dismissal
Students may clear Academic Probation or Dismissal when the students’ accumulated grade point average is 2.0 or higher. A student may clear Progress Probation or Dismissal by receiving less than 50% of all accumulative grades in “I”, “W”, or “NC” since Fall 1981.
Readmission after Dismissal
A student must petition for readmission following Dismissal. The petition must contain (1) an explanation of the situation which resulted in dismissal, (2) a plan for future success, and (3) a proposed list of classes for the coming semester. The student has the burden to clearly justify readmission.
Students who are dismissed will have their Petitions for Readmission evaluated by a counselor. The counselor will care- fully review the petition and possibly recommend changes in the plan for success or the list of classes. The counselor may also require that a semester or more intervene before readmission. Petitions that are approved are good for one semester only. Petition for Readmission contracts are available in the Counseling Department.
