General Education (GE) Certification is an official notification from a California Community College that a transfer student has completed courses fulfilling lower division general education requirements.

General Education Certification may include courses completed at Norco College and other accredited colleges or universities in the United States. The student must provide Norco College Counseling Center with official transcripts of all coursework from other institutions for which they are requesting GE Certification. For courses from out-of-state institutions, the student must also provide a catalog course description.

Students are responsible for requesting certification when requesting transcripts to be sent to participating institutions. Please note that GE Certification (CSU, IGETC) processing takes an additional 7 business days and during peak times, processing can take up to 14 days.

CSU - California State University General Education (CSUGE)
Norco College may certify a maximum of 39 units as having fulfilled the CSU lower division general education requirements. Grades of “C” or better must be earned in 30 of these 39 units.

UC – Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) for Transfer to CSU and UC
Transfer students will receive IGETC certification after completing all the required subject areas with a minimum “C” grade or better.

If you have any questions regarding General Education, consult a counselor.

Extra-Curricular Activities Record
The Extra-Curricular Activities and Honors Coursework Record is available for students to have their participation in college clubs and/or district organizations, student government, service to the community on behalf of a club, publications, scholarships, and awards acknowledged and mailed with their transcripts. The form also serves as a record for Honors Coursework taken at Norco College.

Students that wish to include this information must fill out the Extra-Curricular Activities and Honors Coursework form (available below and in the Student Activities office), take it to each advisor for signatures, and bring it to a campus student service official for clubs and activities for final approval BEFORE transcript order is placed.

For Honors coursework, an academic service official's signature is required. For scholarships, please obtain the signature from the District Dean of Student Financial Services.

Please keep in mind that only one form is mailed out. If students turn in an Extra-Curricular Activities and Honor Coursework Record form and then stay at Norco College longer and turn in another form, the 2nd form must have all of the 1st form's information on it, including signatures. Only the current form will be mailed. It is important to keep this form neat, grammatically correct, and preferably typed.
