I couldn’t find it, but on my list of deadlines, I wrote down that IGETC certification is due September 1st. My cc also said once I’d sir’d that I had to contact my transfer center so they’d notify ucla I was IGETC certified
And by I couldn’t find it, I meant the website that told me that deadline
There’s nothing in your Dars report that will specifically say IGETC certified (I don’t think). The report will show GE requirements and if you have completed your IGETC , then they’ll be a green checkmark that I’ll let you know that your GE requirements have been met. If there’s not a green checkmark then you can see which requirements have not been fulfilled.
That report will not be available until about one week before your scheduled orientation.
Lindy, I wasn’t suggesting I was partial. After Spring I will be 100% IGETC completed. In all honesty I was just trying to avoid the hassle of going in to see a counselor at CC to get it done. Just trying to minimize all the hoops I seem to be jumping through on a daily basis now for UCLA.
But alas, you guys have scared me enough to just go do it. 
I would just get everything over with, all of you who haven’t requested IGETC.
Is it mandatory to go to one of the orientation dates? What if I get scheduled a date in which I cannot make it?
@Stevieindb you sign up for a date, you are not assigned one. If you are in Letters and Science, you do not HAVE to go to Orientation, but it is recommended.
I’m not really sure what the procedure is for enrolling in classes if you don’t go to orientation.
@luckie1367 Phew! Thank you, I am not going to be in the country for the latter half of the orientation dates. I was a little worried I might have to change my plans.
@Stevieindb http://newstudents.ucla.edu/transferstudents.htm#dates
Make sure you are online on the 4th to sign up for the date you want!
Apparently you’re only allowed to register for one or two classes in your major during orientation (depending on how impacted your major is) and your third class has to be a non-major class. This is ridiculous. I don’t want to take other classes that aren’t related to my major -_-
@luckyname, All you do is pick a course in a different discipline that still fulfills a requirement for your major. And they have to do it that way to give everyone a chance to get classes. Look over the electives in your major.
If someone cannot make any orientation, they do have away to accommodate you. I’m not sure the process but they do it somehow.
@lindyk8 but how can a course from a different discipline fulfill a major’s requirement? would you mind giving an example?
@luckyname for example, I’m a comm major and for the electives for my major, four can be from a list of courses that includes film classes, psych classes, geography classes, political science classes, so on and so forth. 
@luckyname What are you majoring in? Maybe it won’t work so well for STEM, but communications at UCLA or media studies at Berkeley have all sorts of electives taken from anthropology, sociology, psychology, haas business school, history, political science, cognitive science, and way more than that. I can’t imagine there aren’t any courses that fulfill your major’s requirements that are outside your actual major: chemistry, math, statistics, econ, business, physics…
Regarding IGETC if you’re going to be full after this spring have them hold it for you until spring grades come out. In my case i went to send in my certification last week and luckily someone caught it in time because had they sent mine in now even though I’m completing it as we speak i wouldn’t have a second chance to resend it. So basically make sure you send it when you’re 100% done, not just working on it.
@lindyk8 psychology is my major.
@Icj1994 I’ve never understood that whole “IGETC can only be sent once.” Any insight on this anybody? I had IGETC certification sent to CSUF and UCLA. I did the certification for CSUF way in advance before getting accepted into UCLA. So I don’t know how it can only be sent once? Or maybe because I had it sent to a CSU once and a UC once?
Quick question: Can AP credit can be used as part of the 60 semester/90 quarter unit minimum requirement?
@revofev yes
@luckyname What do you mean you can only send IGETC certification once?
