COS Graduation and Major Requirements

College of the Sequoias prepares students to graduate with a two-year associates degree and/or transfer to a four-year university. The requirements for a two-year degree versus a transfer plan are very different. Likewise, the requirements for transferring to a CSU versus a UC or private university can also be very different. Students are encouraged to visit a counselor to create a Student Education Plan (SEP) according to their goal.

(To access a previous catalog in its entirety, please see: https://www.cos.edu/en-us/academics/catalog-archive .)

Students may also access Degree Works within MyGiant. Degree Works is a degree audit tool that shows progress toward your degree completion. If the major listed within your audit is incorrect, please meet with a Counselor to update your major and student education plan. Students can access a video on how to generate their degree audit at the link below.
