Getting a 'W' in a IGETC class BEFORE transferring for Fall '15?

One or two 'W’s over a community college career is really OK. Don’t stress over it. I would target the waitlist class; you will likely clear the waitlist. Otherwise explore whether you can take the current course P/F (and come to an understanding with the prof that you WILL pass), or see if you can finish the requirement over the summer. Note that you CAN be certified “Partial IGETC” and finish up one or two classes at your university.

If you are afraid the class may disqualify you from transferring, go to the transfer office and explain the situation to them. You are a crown jewel, and they will help you. Not a huge percentage of CC students are able to transfer to UC; and it is rare indeed to transfer as a Regents Scholar. Don’t spend another day anxious and unsure. Go to the transfer office!

But know that they will tell you everything will be alright, one way or another!
