GE Certification (For LBCC Plan “B”) - Completion of the General Education Certification (GE Certification - LBCC Plan B) will allow a student to transfer to the California State University (CSU) system without requiring any additional lower division GE courses after transfer. As long as the student only attended LBCC, meeting with a counselor is not required. If you have taken GE courses at other schools, you must make an appointment with a counselor to complete your CSU Certification. If you have not taken GE courses at other schools, you do not need to see a counselor for CSU Certification. In this case, the blue form attached to the LBCC transcript request form will need to be completed and submitted for the GE Certification to be processed.

General Education (LBCC Plan B and C) - A broad group of courses to include a wide variety of subjects outside a specific major; also known as survey courses. CSU general education courses at LBCC are under our "Plan B or Plan C" education plans. UC general education courses at LBCC fall under our "Plan C" education plan. Plan C is also referred to as "IGETC."

IGETC Certification (For LBCC Plan “C”) - Completion of the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC - LBCC Plan C) will permit transfer to a campus in either the University of California or California State University system without requiring additional lower division coursework to be completed after transfer. Meeting with a counselor prior to requesting transcripts and prior to transfer is required to obtain IGETC Certification.

Impaction - There is more demand (more students) than there is room for students to be admitted to the University or within the specific major. Since there is such high demand for the spots in an impacted major, minimum admission requirements for that major may be raised. For example, an impacted major/program may require a higher grade point average.
