You enter the grades exactly as listed on the High School transcript. +/- are reported but there is no difference in the GPA calculation between an A-, A or A+. For the UC’s, +/- is not recognized so you just enter in A, B, C etc….

thanks.
his 12th grade (high school on block schedule(semester)) so he is currently doing 3 courses(aug to oct (fall term) and same 3 courses (oct to dec) as spring term
then jan 2023 to march remaining 3 courses as fall and march to may as spring term.

so we should just list 3 courses as in progress and rest as planned?

23

Correct. List current courses as In-Progress and future courses as Planned.

thanks @Gumbymom another query please
there is A-G matching- my ds did video production 1 and 2 but F(visual and performing arts) shows only 1 year and rest is added to G.

can we update ourselves?

even, government econ also shows in G rather than A
how do you perfectly match those to A-G or it does not matter?
thanks

I would go by your HS’s a-g course list categories on this website. Just type in the name of your HS. University of California A-G Course List

G category is any extra course from the A-F Category but you can put more than 1 year course in the VPA section F instead of putting it in the G Category. As long as you have the minimum required in each Category A-G, you can then fill in more courses within each Category as long as there is room.

HS. University of California A-G Course List lists extra courses in G but discipline says visual arts so can we put in F?
government is shown in A and econ in G but discipline shows history/social.
can we go by discipline?
thanks

You only need a 1 year course in G so you can put other courses in their specific disciplines. Econ was a 1/2 year course at our HS so I left in G along with AP Psychology. Both sons had 3 years of a History/Social Sciences already so it is really up to you how you want to list them on the application.

@Gumbymom
query:
when entering high schools

ds started in 2019 and completed 2023

  1. first high school 19-20
    20-21
    22-23(graduating from this school)

  2. changed high school 21-22

so in app we had to enter first high school from 19-23( app did not let us split
19-21 and then same high school 22-23) stating school already entered.

second high school 21-22.

so is it correct . we entered two high schools
one HS for 19-23
and another HS for 21-22

thanks

From the UC website:

G) College-preparatory elective
One year (two semesters) chosen from courses specific to the elective (G) subject area or courses beyond those used to satisfy the requirements of the A-F subjects.
