  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; and Area L7A and L7B – with an overall 2.0 GPA.
