<p>I saw the policy of UC Berkeley saying that I must "complete all senior-year courses listed on your application with an overall unweighted B average for each term and no grade lower than a C." </p>
<p>What "term" is Berkeley referring to? Different schools use different grading periods. In my school though, we use a pretty standard setup. There are four grading periods (which are considered quarters) and there are two grading periods in a semester.</p>
<p>From what I understand, my overall second semester grade has to be at least a 3.0? And how about the "no grade lower than a C" policy? Let's say for just one class, is that referring to the overall grade that is averaged out from the last two grading periods (the semester average) ? Or the whole year? Or does that refer to the grade I get on my last grading period? I'm pretty confused. Please help.</p>
