<p>hey everyone thanks in advance by the way ..</p>
<p>I'm currently at the community college level. Previously, I was at UC Riverside and left for family stuff. Right now it's my 2nd year at the community college (or 3rd year in college in general) and I will have the junior standing by the end of this fall semester. But in previous semesters I didn't do so well like Spring 09' and Fall 08' where I received an "F" on transferable courses (TWO of them to be exact). I'm attempting to go into the California State University system but it requires a 2.00 in ALL transferable units attempted. I know I messed up really bad.. but I wanted to see if I can still qualify for admission this month? I will be re-taking the courses I didn't do so well in those semesters during Spring 10' and my current GPA as of right now cumulative is 1.8</p>
<p>Well, you need to talk to a transfer counselor or the actual CSU itself for the definitive answer.</p>
<p>But, my guess is that even if you had a total cumulative of 2.0 that you would have a tough time getting into any of the CSUs. You may have to look into “semester forgiveness” to see if any of your old semesters can be forgiven, but I’m not sure that works for transfer situations.</p>
<p>Alternatively, you will need to retake those F classes and get the grade replaced which may be enough to bump you above a 2.0.</p>
<p>But I have to say, a 2.0 is not very competitive for impacted CSU campuses. I doubt places like SJSU, SFSU, etc would even dip that far down in their list. What area do you live in? You would have (once you have a 2.0 to qualify) a better chance getting into the CSU that services your area/county. Trying to get into a CSU outside of your service area is tough because with impaction plans they first fill up with locals and then have limited spots for non-area California locals and those are filled up competitively by ranked GPAs.</p>
<p>So, yes, you are in a bad spot right now. The thing to do is to first see if you can qualify for a CSU right now. If not, then go to plan B like everyone else in this economic squeeze… bring up your GPA and try in another year.</p>
<p>Alright I’m going to contact them… thanks for letting me know! </p>
<p>Also, does anyone know how I can combine my GPA from UC Riverside and my GPA from Community college? Not everything I took in UC Riverside is “transferable course work” to the CSU is that correct… ? So I would need to really pull out all the classes from ASSIST.ORG to calculate the GPA required on the CSU application?</p>
<p>I’m not sure ASSIST is the most accurate way to figure out transferable courses since I’ve noticed a lot of times the information/agreements are several years old. I suppose it is a start but I’d recommend once again working with a transfer counselor from your CC.</p>
