A3:	English 103
Area B1:	As specified on CSU GE Pattern

Area D-3:	As specified on CSU GE Pattern (do not need to satisfy the History & Amer. Ideals requirement)
Area E:	As specified on CSU GE Pattern

Special Notes: University of La Verne will accept the IGETC pattern also, so if considering transferring to a UC as well, follow the IGETC pattern instead of the CSU General Education pattern. If considering transferring to a CSU, you must satisfy the U.S. History & American Ideals requirement. You may also choose to follow the University of La Verne's institutional general education/breadth pattern in lieu of CSU GE or IGETC. See a University of La Verne academic advisor for information on this pattern. If you plan to earn a teaching credential, take Political Science 103 to satisfy Area D-3 and Health Education 100 to satisfy Area E. You should also take the CBEST soon after passing transferable math.  Teacher education program requirements are subject to state and legislative control and are dynamic in nature.  Students are encouraged to meet with a counselor before acting on these recommendations.

Special Notes: You may use the above courses to satisfy the appropriate CSU GE areas, but see admission tips for unit needs information.  Courses that are marked with a single asterisk are not required for admission to the program, but serve as prerequisites for upper division courses.  They will need to be completed at the community college prior to transfer (preferred) or concurrently while in the ULV program.  The course marked with a double asterisk is allowed to transfer; however it is highly suggested that this course be completed at ULV because it will meet upper division criteria and the coursework is included in the senior portfolio project.

Additional Graduation Requirements

None may be satisfied at the community college.

Admission Tips

Completing a minimum of 28 transferrable semester units is required (32 is recommended) for admission.  Of those units, at least 15 semester units must be completed in child development courses including ECS 101 and one course selected from ECS 105 or 106 or 116 prior to admission. A cumulative GPA of 2.5 is required.  Students must also clear fingerprints from Community Care Licensing; must make satisfactory performance on ULV writing assessment; and must make satisfactory performance on an interview with a ULV faculty member.  Apply for financial aid between January 1 and March 2 prior to transfer if you can. Start researching scholarships early. It is a good idea to see a University of La Verne academic advisor once you have completed 50 to 60 units, if not before then. If you are following the CSU GE or IGETC pattern, make sure you are fully CSU GE or IGETC certified prior to enrolling at the University of La Verne.

Allan Hancock College counselors are committed to providing students with quality transfer planning information. This pathway has been developed using a variety of resources provided by the four-year university. It is not an admission guarantee, but a recommendation intended to provide students with clear information about courses that they will need to take in order to successfully transfer. Every effort has been made to make this pathway as accurate as possible; however, it is ultimately the student's responsibility to stay aware of changes that may affect his or her transfer. Because of the dynamic nature of articulation information and admission policies, information provided within this pathway is subject to change.
