  2. Completion of each required course with a grade of "C" or better for a major offered at Sacramento City College. 
  3. Completion of Sacramento City College\'s local AA/AS degree general education requirements – Area L1A and L1B; Area L2; Area L3; Area L4; Area L5; and Area L6 – with an overall 2.0 GPA.

Exception: Students who possess a bachelor\'s (BA/BS) or higher degree from a college or university accredited through a regional accrediting agency recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) are deemed to have satisfied both the general education and graduation competency requirements for an AA/AS degree. Degrees from accredited institutions outside of the US will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
