<p>Because I live in SoCal, so enrolling in the summer intersession in Cal is not an option for me...
So I planned to take a few courses in local community college, just to knock out some breadth requirement first.</p>
<p>My question is, I saw on the credit policy that any transfer credits beside from another UC are not calculated into your UC GPA? If so, can I just be carefree about the grades of my summer courses as long as I pass?</p>
<p>(I am not a transfer student.)</p>
<p>Same question here. Answers please!!</p>

google is yooo fwwwwiend. don’t be scurrred</p>
<p>no. </p>
<p>UC GPA is only calculated from grades in courses taken at Cal (or courses during certain UCB arranged semesters away, such as education abroad program).</p>
<p>well you can be carefree relative to Cal’s transcripts. But, when you go to apply for grad school, they’ll want to see all transcripts. And, technically, when you add your gpa to your resume, it should be either consolidated, or you should list gpa for each college that you have ever attended.</p>
<p>That being said, if you can’t sleep walk thru a juco and earn an A, you might rethink attending Cal. :D</p>
<p>Strongly consider UC Berkeley Extension online courses.</p>
<p>They count for campus requirements and they also count for your UC GPA.
[Online</a> Courses - UC Berkeley Extension](<a href=“http://extension.berkeley.edu/cat/online.html]Online”>http://extension.berkeley.edu/cat/online.html)</p>
<p>Any course titled XB/XBW is a Berkeley-equivalent course. The XBW means it is an online courses.</p>
<p>How do we go about transfering the credits to Berkeley once we finish the CC courses? Do we bring transcript to office of registrar or office of admissions?</p>
<p>have the other college send the transcript to Cal.</p>
<p>Send transcript to office of registrar or office of admissions? Please pay attention to specificity of my question.</p>
<p>@bluebayou, nope that’s not true. There’s no need to list your GPA from a CC at all on your resume if you just took summer courses. Neither is there a need to consolidate your GPA (just list Berkeley’s UC GPA). If you were a full time student that got an associates degree and/or transfered to Cal later on, then feel free to (write each college separately, and then note the GPAs for each college, or you could consolidate it). But only do so if you were at one point a full time student at a CC. </p>
<p>As for being able to sleepwalk and get an A, it depends. Some CCs are harder than others, and of course, some courses are harder than other courses. It will be much easier than Cal for sure, but don’t underestimate and think of it as a joke. For example, say you are someone who is very strong in the humanities but ok/weak in the sciences. If you take a biology/chemistry/physics course at a CC, it will be much easier than Cal, but it won’t be a joke if you’re aiming for a solid A.</p>
