Since individual plans and circumstances vary, students should consult with a counselor before beginning a program of study to ensure the appropriate General Education pattern is followed.
This general education plan is designed for students planning to obtain an Associate Degree. The general education requirements are only one component of the Associate Degree. Use this sheet in conjunction with the curriculum guide (located at https://www.lbcc.edu/curriculum-guides) for your choice of major, and in consultation with a counselor.
Please note that completion of an A.A./A.S. degree does not automatically qualify a student to transfer. Students planning to transfer to a CSU or UC school should refer to the CSUGE-B or IGETC General Education Course Patterns (Plan B or Plan C at https://www.lbcc.edu/general-education-patterns) and consult with a counselor to determine the best general education pattern.

Other Graduation Requirements
G.P.A. Requirements
For Graduation: A minimum major, LBCC, and cumulative G.P.A. of 2.0 (“C” average) based on all grades from all colleges from which courses are applied to LBCC degree. Some fields may have additional G.P.A. requirements; check the appropriate curriculum guide.
Continuous Enrollment
Continuous Enrollment is enrollment in and receiving a grade (A, B, C, D, F, P or NP) in at least one class per ACADEMIC YEAR (August to June) at LBCC or any other accredited higher education institution after being initially enrolled at LBCC. Students enrolled in non-credit courses may qualify for continuous enrollment if the course instructor has noted satisfactory progress in the class rollbook. For additional information, see Degrees and Programs section of the catalog.
Course Totals
General education units completed + field of concentration (Major) units completed + general elective units completed = overall total units. Must equal at least 60 units.
General education units total must equal 25 units for the A.A. or 19 units for the A.S. degree.
For graduation, complete a minimum of 60 A.A./A.S. applicable units (LBCC courses numbered 1-599). Some fields of concentration may require more units. Consult the appropriate curriculum guide at https://www.lbcc.edu/curriculum-guides.
Any course that appears on a curriculum guide and the General Education Pattern (Plan A) may fulfill both major and general education requirements (approved by College Curriculum Committee in spring 2012 and applicable retroactively).
Degree Residency
A minimum of 12 units must be completed at LBCC. Only LBCC courses numbered 1-599 are applicable to the degree.
Field of Concentration (Major) Residency
For the field of concentration (LBCC Major), 50% of the requirements as defined by the appropriate curriculum guide must be completed at LBCC.
Number of major units completed at LBCC divided by the number of major units required multiplied by 100 = % of major units completed at LBCC (must be 50% or greater).
