Difference Between a Transferable GPA and a Cumulative GPA

Transfer Students UC Transfers

I mean cumulative is your current GPA for all your classes while transferable is just the ones that have UC credit. How do you find that out though? Through ASSIST, right? Also, for a more competitive school like Berkeley, which one is counted?

I got a B- in this class called ADMJ 1… it kind of made my GPA not as high as I would have liked it to be, but hey, that’s life. What I’m wondering is, right now I’m on ASSIST, looking through the transfer agreement classes from my college and from UC Berkeley, and apparently ADMJ does not come under any of the 7-course breadth requirement for the GE Articulation Agreement… Does that mean, when evaluating my app, they won’t count the ADMJ 1 class where I got a B-? How does this work lol? Some of the UC’s still will though, I’m presuming?

Really appreciate it as always, thanks.

If the class is not transferable, they will not calculate it.

Dammit, I actually realized they will :confused: It’s not on ASSIST for the year 15-16, but it is for 14-15 (which is when I took the class, and started CC) Ah, well. Thanks for the info, good to know regardless!

“…and apparently ADMJ does not come under any of the 7-course breadth requirement for the GE Articulation Agreement…”

This just means it doesn’t fit as a breadth course. It has no bearing on it being transferable. I’m assuming the class is an intro to criminal/administration of justice? That class is absolutely transferable in nearly all cases.

And with ASSIST, what matters is what the current articulation agreement says and what your transcript currently says. Because it said it for 14-15, and that’s when you took the class, also has no bearing on transferability.

Hello, Brian

Thanks so much for that info, I appreciate it.
If I may ask- I’m currently looking at the ASSIST UC Transfer Admissions Eligibility Course List for my college. ADMJ 1 is actually nowhere on it, neither for 14-15 or 15-16… So what does that mean?

What CCC did you attend? Did you already apply?

Sorry about being confused about all this - I just realized I had been using ASSIST wrong, but yeah, this time around I clicked on the “UC Transfer Admission Eligibility Courses” with my college and that’s what came up… that the course ADMJ 1 was a no show.

And I’m attending De Anza College. I already applied, yes. (So haha yeah, I recognize, talking about this is kind of silly and not useful) Just trying to calculate my potential GPA after this semester and this whole question of this course’s transferability or not would be the difference between a 3.8 and a 3.9 for me

@tooweirdyo sorry, but here's the assist list for admin of justice dept transferable courses:

                  ==== Administration of Justice ====                       
ADMJ 1            Introduction to               4               
                  Administration of                                         
                  Justice                                                   
ADMJ 3            Concepts of Criminal          4               
                  Law (CP2)                                                 
ADMJ 5            Community Relations           4
  • ADMJ 11 Federal Courts and 4 UC-B Constitutional Law
  • ADMJ 25 Law and Social Change 4 UC-B Same as: PARA 25 ADMJ 29 Cultural Pluralism and 4C 4 UC-B American Law and 4H
    Justice
    Same as: ICS 29 # ADMJ 50 Crime, Correction and 4
    Society
    Same as: SOC 50

The UC-B simply shows if they can also fulfill a breadth in behavioral sciences. But all the above are transferable.

Your course appears transferable.

Eligibility refers to breadth fulfillment. Worded confusingly.
