<p>I know this is a long shot, but if any of you have taken Calc I at CCSF can you please help me?</p>
<p>Right now I have a block on my registration for math above a certain level. I want to take Calc I in the fall. Prereqs are intermediate algebra (I'm assuming high school algebra 2 is equivalent), geometry, and pre-calc/trig. I passed algebra 2 and geometry in high school. I'm in the process of taking pre-calc/trig online this summer. I went to CCSF today and they said they won't let me register for the class until I have a final grade in the class, which is a bummer because that probably won't happen till right before the semester starts.</p>
<p>Soooo....I was just curious how official of a final grade they need. All of the calc sections are almost full and I really need this class. I think it's ridiculous that an in progress class doesn't count for registration. I even asked if I could register for the class now, and be required to submit my final grade later, and if I didn't pass I would be dropped. The dean said no. I think that's so stupid, so I plan on forging the final grade just so I can register for it now.</p>
<p>Is there an intense process for them checking the final grade? Or can I just show anyone at matriculation services unofficial transcripts and they'll take the block off?</p>
<p>I don’t know how you can “Forge” you’re own grade from the same school that knows when summer school ends and when the final official grades are released…</p>
<p>I did not attend CCSF, but the majority of CC’s requires the completion of the pre-requisite (In this case, your trig/pre-calc) before you can move on higher. But other schools allow you to register for the upper class while you are still in your pre-req course. It varies.</p>
<p>Like I said, Admissions office do not–will not–accept unofficial documents for your grades.
You are basically trying to take out a loan from a bank without an official documents, rather you are writing on a piece of napkin with your writing stating “I.O.U”–no banks will accept that. No admissions office will accept an unofficial grades. You need official documents.</p>
<p>Official Documents.</p>
<p>Official. </p>
<p>The community colleges that do allow upper-level classes to be taken while you’re in your pre-reqs is allowed only if you take the pre-req at their school. But since you are not taking your pre-reqs at their school then you have no other choice until you can get your official documents and prove to them that you have taken it and passed it.</p>
<p>Is there an intense process for grades? Yes.</p>
<h1>1) They will not accept any unofficial transcripts for grades.</h1>
<h1>2) Official transcripts are near impossible to duplicate, in other words you can’t create a fake one. (Official transcripts has several authentic-proof tricks to verify their authenticity–holograms, heat-activated ink, iron paper (Scanners are used to detect if the transcript is made from microscopic iron fillings), and etc.</h1>
<h1>3) Trying to submit a forged grade will be seen as academic dishonesty and possible–most likely–expulsion from the community college and permanent record on your academic file. Every school will see this record.</h1>
<p>@Shannon 13, If you try to forge an official transcript and submit it to a CCC you will caught immediately and banned from all CCC, UC and CSU schools.</p>
<p>One possible solution to your problem is to take Math 1A, which is Calculus I, through the UC Berkeley Extension. I know for a fact that Sacramento State University will give you credit for Math 30, Calculus I for Math, Physical Science and Engineering majors, for completion of Math IA at the UCB Extension. While Cal and Sac State use the same textbook and cover the same chapters for Math 1A and Math 30 respectively, I would think that all Public colleges and universities in California would give you credit for Calculus I if you also complete Math 1A through the UCB Extension.</p>
<p>^^I was going to do that, but UCB Econ does not accept Math 1a through extension. I would have to retake it later. </p>
<p>@Lawlking, the reason why I am asking for SPECIFIC advice is because I don’t even know if they need an official transcript. They seemed pretty content with taking a photocopied high school transcript. It didn’t look like I needed to “submit” anything, just wave it past a receptionist who would then take the hold off. I posted this thread because I wanted to clarify this was the process at CCSF.</p>
<p>Ask your counselor or admissions office if you can do it. But since they said “No” then I wouldn’t know how you would do it.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The dean said “no”, unless of course you think the Dean is wrong?</p>
<p>Or if you believe that you can get away with it, then do it. </p>
<p>Disclaimer: Your actions are your own, I am not responsible for your actions.</p>
<p>My point is: Don’t do something that is stupid, like forging a grade. It’s not worth it. Because that means all that time, money, and dedication you’ve spent will be for nothing once you become expelled and permanently banned from all institutions (CC, UC, CSU, and etc). Forging a grade is fraud and academic dishonesty, yes it may seem stupid the way they do it but that’s the way it works.</p>
<p>::EDIT:: Anyways, I heard CCSF is brink on closure? No longer accredited? Maybe because of something like accepting photocopied transcripts without actually verifying its authenticity caught on to the school…</p>
