Completion of the core courses and the additional requirements in a selected area will qualify students for an Associate’s degree or Certificate of Achievement in Business.

1. Students who can provide evidence of competency in required skill areas should consult with a counselor for possible course waiver or substitution.

2. Regardless of the number of courses waived or transferred, certificate students will still need to meet the minimum “residing” unit requirements (minimum 12 units) at Gavilan College. When required certificate courses are applied against associate’s degree general education requirements, the unit requirements for the certificate are reduced by the same number of units. However, students will still need to meet all the requirements for graduation including a minimum of 18 units in the major. Students are expected to complete the courses or show competency in skill area. See a counselor regarding the course waiver or substitution process.
