Dropping out of UCD?

<p>@Tealamide- No, once you are accepted and transfer your CCC gpa does not factor into the gpa at the CSU, but if employers want to look at your transcripts then they will look at both ur CSU and CCC gpa plus if you want to go to grad school they look at both but the CSU more than the CCC one. It’s basically a clean slate once you are in the CSU, im not sure about your UC GPA however it may factor into the overall transfer process but if you have a CCC gpa of 3.0 or higher you’ll get in for sure since the factored in UC gpa will be more than 2.2 which is the requirement for most CSU transfers.And it will only be the transferable classes that the GPA is used for so like english,calc,psych not those intro to knitting classes and the like.</p>

<p>@tealamide: hey, so how is your academic work going? I also failed at UC Davis too so I am going to CC in hopes of transferring to a CSU.</p>

<p>some people here are misinformed. For all intents and purposes… YOUR GPA NEVER GOES AWAY. EVER.</p>

<p>If you transfer to a different school, you can average ALL of your grades for your cumulative GPA or you can just use the GPA from that school.</p>

<p>Grad schools look at EVERYTHING. They generally weight later taken courses higher though. </p>

<p>With that said, I have a roommate at UCI who was given a “final warning” 3 times at UCI. He’s no longer an engineering major and has switched to applied math. If you try hard enough, they’ll give you another chance. Your GPA is still above a 2.0.</p>

<p>I’d request a leave of absence. Take a gap year and get your life back together.</p>

<p>@xelink-it’s an old thread…but yeah, your advice is pretty spot on. I feel bad for the OP because the advice given to him was pretty terrible…but hopefully he’s doing well now.</p>

<p>My recommendation (take with grain of salt) – you can go to the UCD health center and start getting help with your depression. At the same time, examine what courses you have done well in and which you have done poorly in and ascertain whether you have either not put enough time into your courses (I’d recommend finding a ‘study buddy’ who does not necessarily have to have the same courses but who will meet with you to work on homework - sort of like a gym buddy who gets you to the gym but does not necessarily work with the same equipment). According to the UCD website:</p>

<p>[UC</a> Davis General Catalog | Probation and Dismissal](<a href=“http://registrar.ucdavis.edu/UCDWebCatalog/academicinfo/dismiss.html]UC”>http://registrar.ucdavis.edu/UCDWebCatalog/academicinfo/dismiss.html)</p>

<p>you are ok as long as you can pull >2.0 each semester (best if you do not have the A, F, A, F sort of pattern, as that does not gain you many credits). You should also talk with your adviser. Basically, there is not reason to think you’ll do better if you just transfer, so you might think about how you can keep making progress toward your degree at UCD. Transfers often cause you to lose a lot of credits.</p>

<p>As Xelink pointed out, all grades received in any classes you take as a college or university student are forever and all must be reported if you apply to any other schools such as graduate school or professional schools such as Law and Medicine at some point in the future. If you are able to get accepted into a CSU after a year or two at a CCC, the CSU will not include grades earned at a CCC in your CSU GPA so students who starts at a CCC and then transfer to a CSU get a fresh slate for their CSU GPA. However, if you apply to graduate school you have to provide copies of both your CSU and CCC transcripts and they will use both to compute your GPA for graduate school application purposes.</p>

<p>In your case there is the additional complication of also having attended a UC before enrolling in your CCC. You will have to report those grades to both the CSUs you apply to and also send your UCD transcript along with CSU and CCC transcripts to any graduate programs you might apply to after you graduate from the CSU.</p>

<p>While the CSU will not include your CCC classes when computing your CSU GPA, that might not be the case with your UCD grades. It is quite possible they will use any grades earned at another four year university in computing your CSU GPA.</p>

<p>@ray50117 I did really well in CCC and attended 3 semesters with a 4.0 and took all my lower division major requirements and GEs out of the way. I am starting CSU this fall, and 3 more semesters to graduate. Community College was really helpful for me to get into a good transition into college.</p>

<p>All my units transferred to CSU and all the GPA including UCD and CCC transferred too. But they have separate thing on the transcript which is CSU GPA and Cumulative GPA. I brought my Cumulative GPA to a 3.1</p>
