2025-2026 California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC) Requirements
The California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC) is a new general education pattern designed to make transferring from a California Community College to a California State University (CSU) or University of California (UC) easier and more efficient. Starting in Fall 2025, Cal-GETC will be the only lower-division general education pathway for students pursuing an Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) or planning to transfer to CSU or UC.
While we work behind the scenes to update our courses to reflect the Cal-GETC pattern, we advise students to meet with a counselor to get personalized advice on the best GE plan. Watch for updates from American River College about Cal-GETC, including workshops and additional resources.
We anticipate that all our Cal-GETC courses will be updated and published by the end of September 2025.
