If you didn’t take all the required high school courses or earned D or F grades in some of them, you have several options to make up these courses and qualify for CSU admission.

You can complete appropriate high school courses with a grade of C or better either in summer school or in adult school. Courses in this category must be those found on the high school or adult school UC “a-g” course lists. Some adult schools may not have “a-g” course lists. . . . . If you are unable or do not choose to make up your subject deficiency, you may earn at least 60 units, including 30 semester units of general education from a California Community College or other college and transfer as an upper-division transfer student, where only your college performance is considered for admission.

Are you in the local service area for any of these campuses?

https://www2.calstate.edu/apply/freshman/Documents/CSULocalAdmission-ServiceAreas.pdf

Do you meet the minimum a-g courses and did you retake your D’s? Which courses did you receive the D’s?

Senior grades are not considered in the admission decisions. They however maintain your provisional admission if accepted.

Below is a link of average CSU GPA and test scores for admitted students at each campus. https://www2.calstate.edu/attend/counselor-resources/Documents/freshmen-2018-admission-impaction-chart.pdf

SFSU might be the most likely depending upon major.

No im not a local to any of these campuses and i am currently retaking the classes on a online course. i got Ds in honors english 10th grade, Ap Lang, Ap Euro, and Geometry. Thanks for the helpful info.

A D in 10th grade English along with Geometry will be big issues with the CSU’s since there is no passing grade for 2 important A-G course requirements needed for admission and meeting minimum a-g requirements at these schools. Did you complete 11 of the 15 required courses at the time of application? You meet the minimum eligibility index for admission but missing these 2 important required courses may cause your application to be withdrawn unless you are able to showing passing grades prior to their decision.

Best of luck.

how about if i pass them on the online courses im taking at the moment ? will it benefit me on getting accepted ?

[Gumbymom]

Will you have them completed within the next few weeks since some decisions are already out for several of the CSU’s? Has any schools asked for your 7th semester transcripts? Courses taken Senior year are not usually used for admission purposes. Senior year grades help maintain your provisional admission if accepted. I would check with your counselor about sending updated transcripts with completion of these courses.
