Academic Renewal at a CC

<p>I'm currently at UC Irvine and I have around 10 classes left before graduation. Two of these are lower GEs I still need to complete, so I'm planning to take them at my local CC (El Camino).</p>

<p>Now the problem is, I took a class there when I was in 11th grade in 2007 for fun and kicks to see what the college life would be like and for high school credit. Soon, I forgot about this class in order to concentrate on my AP courses and I received an F.</p>

<p>I'm returning to my CC this summer to take two classes and after I finish, the grade from 2007 will show up on the transcript and I'm not sure what's going to happen at this point.</p>

<p>Since my CC history has one class on the transcript, am I eligible for academic renewal? Will UC Irvine compute the 2007 class into my cumulative GPA?</p>

<p>You need to ask UCI and your CC about this.</p>

<p>Technically, since this is a college-level class it probably should already have been reported to UCI when you applied. It wouldn’t transfer because it is an F after all. And, since you took it while still in HS, it might not transfer for that reason even if you had got a decent grade.</p>

<p>Is there another CC you can enroll in for the GEs? Do you need pre-approval from UCI to take them at a CC in the first place? Sometimes that is necessary.</p>
