C- same as C for CSU admission rescind decision?

My son just accepted his admission at CalPoly SLO. But he got a C- during the fall term in AP Calc BC. His spring grade was a B+ before the schools shut down, but he will only be getting pass/no pass grades from the district for spring, so he won’t have a chance to show improvement.

When CSU says you have to pass senior classes with a grade of “C or better,” is that really a C or does it include grades of C-, because of CSU’s GPA calculation?

@Gumbymom, is this is a situation where we should call CalPoly and ask about it so we don’t get blindsided by a rescind over the summer?

Since the CSU’s use +/-, a C- is passing. If it helps ease your’s and his mind, confirm with SLO. I believe that all schools are going to be more lenient considering the current situation.

Thank you, we will do that. It’s reassuring to have your reply.
