Cal-GETC
Certificate of Achievement Ethnic Studies · Chabot College · 2026-2027 Catalog
Description
This program provides one option for students to complete lower-division general education requirements for the University of California or the California State University (where applicable). All courses must be completed with a grade of "C" or better. Completion of Cal-GETC is typically not a requirement of, nor a guarantee of, transfer admissions. For some colleges and majors at UC, Cal-GETC is not an appropriate general education pattern. Courses listed on this certificate of achievement are effective for the 2026-26 academic year (Fall 2025, Spring 2026, and Summer 2026), and are subject to change each academic year. For the most up-to-date course information, consult the official articulation database for UC and CSU transfer articulation used for transfer admission decisions: ASSIST at www.assist.org. Counselors are able to assist in determining if Cal-GETC is appropriate for your transfer goals.
