Do UCs and CSUs look at first semester grades of the year you applied?

For example, if I apply in Fall 2017 for Fall 2018, will they see and use my Fall 2017 grades? I am planning on being a one year transfer, and the first time I’ll be taking any pre req courses will be in Fall 2017.

I’m sure they will because fall grades are a important determining factor. But for one year, I haven’t heard of anyone being able to do that because meeting the 60 unit mark in a year is difficult.

I have enough AP/duel enrollment credits to do so. They’ll be seeing humanities courses when I’m applying as a comp sci major which may be problematic.

Yes they will look at fall grades.
