Community College COurses count for grades?

<p>Do community college course grades go into our GPA's? Either for Grad school or for Berkeley GPA?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>They are not directly calculated into any listed GPA on the Berkeley transcript, I believe, but the course titles and the grades you earned DO appear on your official transcript. </p>

<p>That said, graduate schools calculate GPAs – or rather, ask you to calculate GPAs – according to their own criteria, which may or may not request these grades.</p>

<p>they do not calculate into your UC GPA.</p>

<p>If it is a major course, your major department will use it for calculating your major GPA. This is used for various things such as determining if you qualify for honors programs.</p>

<p>Graduate schools and professional schools may or may not look at CC courses depending on their requirements, but it is likely they will.</p>

<p>Thanks for the responses, but now the question is whether community college courses go into the at most 1/3 credits p/np rule.</p>

<p>Neither do other four years. I knew someone who transferred from Northwestern to UCI and graduated at the top of his class because none of his Northwestern grades counted.</p>

<p>I am curious, though. If they don’t count the other classes, if a 4.0 student transfers, can they still get summa cum laude or have they blown it? There are a minimum number of courses for grades required at Berkeley. I understand at UCI it wasn’t an issue for the person I mentioned but it might be at Berkeley. Does anyone know?</p>

<p>A 4.0 transfers can get summis cum laudibus (that is the plural of summa cum laude) still.</p>

<p>Unless I am mistaken, the “<em>blank/magna/summa</em> cum laude” status is determined by how one does in their H195 or H196A-B sequence. For example, here is what the Classics department says:</p>

<p>Another question, if I take a course at a State University, does it work the same way?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>^I do not know about courses taken at a CSU, but if you take courses at any other UC. Like if you take summer school at UC Merced, your grades will transfer over.</p>
