<p>Like if a student earns a 4.0 at her cc, would this 4.0 weigh the same amount as her UC GPA upon graduation? One cc unit = one UC unit</p>
<p>Additionally, do UC transferrable courses not listed on assist.org count towards the major? UC psychology majors have to complete multiple Psyc classes their last two years and I'd like to take some of their cc equivalents, if possible, at cc. No psyc classes are listed as pre-reqs on assist.org, but I'd like to take some to get ahead.</p>
<p>The GPA doesn’t transfer at all when you transfer. So you start at a 0.00 again. </p>
<p>Thats good or bad in some way.</p>
<p>Do you know how graduate programs consider attendance of a cc before transferring? Does it make is harder to attend a graduaste program?</p>
<p>Most graduate programs put a heavier emphasis on upper division work than lower division work. </p>
<p>They will see the C.C grades and have some effect on your admission although not as much as your upper division work will</p>
<p>Jobs, if they even ask for your GPA in the first place, would ask for your overall undergraduate GPA, in which you incorporate ALL undergraduate coursework.</p>
<p>GPA calculation varies between different graduate programs and different professional programs. For example, law schools use the LSAC standard to calculate your GPA which will be different because the values for A-, A+, B+, B-, etc will have different values than what the UCs use. Also, some graduate programs will only consider your last 2 years in determining your GPA. This is found in some UC graduate programs. Some graduate programs will consider all 4 years (from all schools). Others may weigh the grades in the first 2 years differently than the last 2 years.</p>
<p>Correction: When you transfer, your GPA resets to 4.0. ( My counselor told me that)</p>
<p>I can’t tell if the “my counselor told me that” was sarcasm (as they are always wrong), but when you transfer, your grades don’t. You can’t have a 4.0 if you don’t have any grades. Your GPA is undefined, but they just call it 0.00</p>
<p>No, I was not being sarcastic. I just finished my orientation at my CC last week, and I was told that you start at a 4.0 once you’re at the transfer school. Well, I’m not here to argue, but I’d listen to the one with the credential, no offense. I still respect your answer.</p>
<p>Don’t always take the “credential” 's word. It makes you a sheep. I’m not just pulling this out of nowhere. I already transferred to UCLA and completed orientation. My GPA on my transcript/DPR is 0.00</p>
<p>^ I second this. Once you transfer your GPA starts from 0.00.</p>
<p>Yeah, I’ve heard that your GPA resets to 4.0 too. I was told “your GPA is a 4.0, so keep it at 4.0.” However, when one considers the reality that your grades do not transfer over, it becomes obvious that the argument between whether you have a 0.0 GPA and 4.0 GPA is just a “glass half empty, glass half full” argument.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No, it’s obviously NOT that situation. Look up the definition of GPA. Then read my previous post:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You said yourself that the GPA is undefined. It shouldn’t be defined at all, but choosing to define it as a 0.0 is just as bad as choosing to define it as a 4.0.</p>
<p>For practical purposes the school may define it as a 0.0. School councilors may choose to define it as a 4.0 to motivate the student to “keep your 4.0.” Obviously, both are strictly incorrect, but I have no problem with either approach, because they both serve different purposes.</p>
<p>It would be 0/0 which is undefined because you can’t divide by zero. That’s what I was referring to. Assuming you could, then 0 divided by anything is 0.</p>
<p>Either way this argument is pointless, so I’m just going to stop. It doesn’t matter because you’ll have a GPA after you finish classes.</p>
<p>Yeah, I got that. That’s why I said you were correct in asserting that it is undefined. </p>
<p>That being said, I’m choosing to define my GPA as 5.0. I have a feeling it won’t last though :(</p>
<p>Haha, wow, well I prefer to just think it doesn’t even begin to matter until one has completed their first quarter.</p>
<p>I’m still have this question though: Can I begin to take other classes required for my major at UCSD and it will really count? I am just beginning my cc experience and I am already nearly done with IGETC and the pre-major classses listed on assist.org. I’d like to take higher division courses at UCSD while I’m still at cc. I can do that, right? Site says you can take classes there in addition to at least 6 units at the cc. </p>

<p>Yes you can, the only problem would be that you should make sure that the course at UCSD meets your major requirement at another UC (unless you are planning to transfer to UCSD then it doesn’t matter).</p>
<p>Oh goody, thank you awaken. That is relieving considering I’d be stuck in cc without much to do other than take other remedial courses. Great!</p>
