Note how many courses are required in a Learning Domain (category). This may vary depending on the major at ¹ú²úÂ鶹AV. Pay attention as to whether there are special Learning Domain requirements.

Some colleges automatically confirm that the IAI-GECC has been completed with a letter or a stamp on the transcript. Other colleges require that students request the confirmation when they want to transfer or when they are applying for graduation with an associate of arts/science degree. Students may also be required to check the catalog and use web tools to confirm that the IAI-GECC is completed. Please contact your community college academic advisor for more information.

¹ú²úÂ鶹AV is a private Catholic university that requires all undergraduate students to take courses in religion and philosophy. The IAI-GECC doesn't require these types of courses, though there might be some available at community colleges.

Also, ¹ú²úÂ鶹AV is taught on a quarter system, which means that students complete more courses each academic year than in the semester model. The extra courses are needed in order for students to have enough credits to graduate from ¹ú²úÂ鶹AV.
