A-G Requirements
California Public Universities: If your goal is to be eligible to apply directly to the California State University or the University of California after you complete high school, you must complete the a-g course requirements (above) with a C or better in approved courses. Successful completion of these requirements does not guarantee admission to any particular campus, but rather, means that you are eligible to be admitted.

Other Universities: If you intend to apply to another university or 4-year college (a private or out-of-state school, for example) it is your responsibility to research the minimum admissions requirements for the school(s) of your choice. Failure to do so in a timely manner could cause you to be ineligible for consideration.
Community Colleges: If you plan to begin your college education at a community college (even if you intend to transfer to a university later) you are not required to complete the a-g requirements. However, taking a rigorous course of study in high school will help prepare you for the challenges that lie ahead! You are encouraged to consider a-g even if you don't think you will go straight to a university.
