General Education Certificate of Completion

If you complete all general education requirements but not an AS or AA degree at SLCC, you will have completed the lower-division general education requirements for a bachelor’s degree at Utah’s public colleges and universities, and Westminster College.

You should request that a General Education Certificate of Completion from the Graduation Office be sent with your transcripts to your transfer school.
