APPLICATION FILING PERIOD FOR FALL 2018 DEGREES & CERTIFICATES:
JULY 9TH THROUGH SEPTEMBER 25, 2018
IGETC/CSU CERTIFICATIONS ARE ALWAYS ACCEPTED
When you believe you are ready to transfer, you may want to consider applying for CSU or IGETC certification. Certification is verification of the general education classes that you’ve taken, so that once you transfer, you won’t have to retake those classes. CSU and CSU IGETC certification are geared toward transferring to CSUs and UC IGETC certification is geared toward transferring to UCs.
Cypress College offers certificates, associate degrees, and one bachelor degree (in Funeral Services).
Graduation requirements for the associate degree are prescribed by the California Community Colleges Board of Governors and the NOCCCD Board of Trustees.
