Changes to CSU-GE and IGETC - Effective Fall 2012 (retroactive)
This is to remind you of the policy change regarding course approvals for CSU-GE and IGETC. Courses
approved in April of each year are retroactive to the beginning of the previous fall term. Thus, courses that
were approved for CSU-GE and IGETC in April of 2013 are retroactive to the beginning of the Fall 2012 term.
This required revisions to our 2012-2013 CSU-GE and IGETC sheets. The revised sheets and the new 2013-14
sheets are posted at the NVC Articulation Website.
Below are courses that were approved in April 2013 and reflected in the 2012-13 and 2013-14 CSU-GE and
IGETC sheets.
