<p>I got D on 1st semester and I'm pretty worried what if I could get rejected during summer.
But then, my friend who had D on 10th and 11th grade (for 1st semester only) got accepted to CSU longbeach
and so did I (I had no Ds til junior year).</p>
<p>And I heard if u get D during senior year, you need to send an apology letter to CSU and it will be fine
unless you write it so badly with nonsense.</p>
<p>UCs definitely dont accept Ds, but I saw ppl with Ds get enroll into CSUs. </p>
<p>You should be going to visit your counselor and see what they know. If they don’t know they ought to have a contact in the CSU system they can check with. You should also look and see whether you are required to notify CSU immediately of a grade lower than a C. I know the UC’s require you to do that </p>
<p>If I were in your shoes I would actually contact the CSU schools yourself. They’re going to see the grade anyway, it isn’t like you can slip this pass them. Not only is it the mature thing to do, it is to your benefit to find out right now. If they want you to do something to make up the grade you are going to have far more options now, in February, then you will when they see your final transcripts in July. Or maybe it turns you satisfied all the requirements and it’s not going to be a problem, in which case year mind will be at ease.</p>
<p>You certainly want to alert them. There’s no keeping it a secret, they get your full transcript. That way, you’ll know with plenty of time to come up with a plan B (or plan D). UNR, ASU and other keep their application window open late for just such occasions. </p>
<p>It depends on which course. If it is a required a-g like your 4th year of English, it is more serious than an elective or even a non-required a-g like a 4th year of math or foreign language. Even so, a C or better at year end might mitigate (i think they call it validation) the D. </p>
<p>Good luck. </p>
