PETITION FOR GRADUATION: Upon completion of a majority of both GE and major courses, students should meet with a counselor for information regarding Foothill graduation procedures. A graduation petition should be submitted during the quarter proceeding the quarter in which the student plans to graduate.
Note: Students wishing to transfer to a four-year school will be required to fulfill additional requirements for General Education and lower division major preparation. Check out: http://www.foothill.edu/transfer
Student Name: Foothill Counselor: Date
NOTE: This GE pattern is only appropriate for students pursuing a Foothill College Associate in Arts or Associate in Science degree. It is not appropriate for students pursuing an Associate Degree for Transfer (AA-T or AS-T). Students planning to earn an AA-T or AS-T must complete either the IGETC or CSU-Breadth general education pattern. There are significant differences between the three patterns. Students are strongly advised to meet with a counselor to determine which pattern will best meet their goals.
