Notes

ATTENTION General Education requirements have changed for the 2025-2026 academic year. Please see GE guidance page for more information on the different pathways.

  • See General Education requirements for: CSU or UC for the previous 2024-25 academic year.
  • See ASSIST.ORG for the transfer requirements for the institution to which you plan to transfer. 
  • A transferable elective is defined as any class with a course number between 300 and 499. Electives may vary for the CSU and UC systems. 
  • U.S. History/American Ideals is a graduation requirement for all CSUs. 
  • Foreign Language may be required for CSU Sacramento IF student did not complete 3 years in high school. This requirement may vary at different colleges.

Zero Textbook Costs (ZTC):

The Zero Textbook Costs designation and logo are added to any course that provides free access to all required instructional materials. These are typically shared with students through Canvas. Courses that are designated as ZTC may still require students to purchase supplemental materials such as lab coats, a calculator, art supplies, etc. See full definitions and searching tips on the Zero Textbook Costs page of the college website.
