Candidates for all OCCC degrees are required to complete credits from General Education/Disciplines Studies OCCC courses which meet the requirement are detailed in the table of General Education/Discipline Studies. Students are responsible for consulting the institution to which they will transfer to determine how the credits will be accepted.
This General Education/Discipline Studies list may not be complete. For the most accurate and up to date version of this list please check with an academic advisor.
The following limitations apply to the General Education list:
1. Courses taken to satisfy the basic college competencies in composition and mathematics will not be accepted.
2. For AAS Degrees, no more than two courses may come from courses required by specific programs.*
3. When an existing course meeting a General Education requirement is expanded into a multi- course sequence with the same course number with varying suffixes (e.g., 101 becomes 101a, 101b, 101c), any course in the sequence may be used to meet the General Education requirement. However, an individual student may use only one course in the sequence toward fulfillment of the requirement, even if the student takes multiple courses in the sequence.
* Note: Because of these restrictions, it is possible that a course is acceptable as General Education for some students while it is not acceptable for others. Degree candidates who are unsure of how the General Education Policy applies to their individual cases are responsible for seeking help from an academic advisor.
