      6. Additional Information: The Uniform Certificate of General Studies (UCGS) is a 31 to 32-credit-hour program in which all courses are transferable and satisfy lower-division general education requirements at any Virginia public institution of higher education. The UCGS consists of seven-course blocks. To satisfy the UCGS, students are required to complete the appropriate number of courses in each block, as described below. Student course selection should be carefully considered since the UCGS program is not designed to capture the complexities of individual programs of study at four-year institutions. Students should consult an advisor to take the UCGS course that best suits their intended program of study at the four-year institution. Courses offered at Rappahannock Community College are listed above. Approved UCGS courses taken at other VCCS colleges may be transferred and applied to the UCGS with approval for course substitution from the Dean, provided at least 25% of all credits needed for the UCGS are earned at Rappahannock Community College.
