Cal-GETC
As of Fall 2025, all UC and CSU campuses have adopted the new Cal-GETC sequence as a replacement for IGETC and CSU GE Breadth. While De Anza will continue to support those older GE patterns for students who have catalog rights to use them, students are encouraged to follow the new Cal-GETC sequence.
