<p>Hello, this is my first thread so I hope this is in the right section.
So I'm trying to help my friend transfer with a TAG, but I'm not sure if he's going to manage the requirements.
He's aiming to go to UCSC, he goes to san jose city college/evergreen valley college, at the moment he has a 3.06 with 6 classes, this semester he's taking 3 classes he has an A in a 3 unit and B in a 5 unit, his last class is a 5 unit but he doesnt think he'll be passing it.</p>
<p>My first question is if he gets a D in this class, but retakes it in the summer and gets an A will his GPA only be affected by the A?</p>
<p>My second question is whether his nontransferable grades will show up on the transcript, he has about 12 and most of them are C's so it wouldnt't look good if they seen them.</p>
<p>Should he wait another year to transfer and boost his gpa or attempt it and hope for the best?</p>
<p>Thank you so much!

<p>If he gets a D but then retakes it in the summer and gets an A, he can choose to have the repeat annotation mentioned on his transcript, which then would not count the D grade but rather the A grade, but the official transcript will still show the D to UCs. </p>
<p>His nontransferable grades do show up on the transcript, but they are not used in TAG decisions at all, and also do not count towards the UC-transferable GPA.</p>
<p>His D will still be there but it won’t affect his transcript. However, I recommend transferring ASAP because UC’s TAG will possibly change.</p>
<p>Alright! Thank you, I have one more question! His first semester he took a programming class and got a C, for his major the class is only acceptable if it’s a B though. He’ll be taking a different programming class at another school to fulfill that requirement, will the first programming class still transfer, just not fulfill the requirement? Or will they not take it at all?</p>
<p>^From the sounds of it because it had the potential to fulfill the requirement it was a UC transferrable class. All UC transferable classes are counted toward your calculated UC transferable GPA, which is the GPA they look at when they evaluate you. It sounds like although the class won’t fulfill that major specific requirement because he didn’t get a B, the units are obviously still going to be counted and his C will be factored into his GPA. If the class meets any other requirements like for IGETC, it would fulfill those.</p>
