<p>Hi there, I am new to CC. I apologize if I am in the wrong thread, I am still getting familiar with the website. I am a freshman in a community college, I am not good at math but I do pretty well in all my other classes.
I would love to be able to attend UC Irvine one day, I am very nervous though because I went to a continuation school for highschool (it is an options for learning sort of thing). I now realize this was a mistake. Is there still a chance of me attending UC Irvine? Also, what are some general tips you could give me for transferring to a UC and for being able to get good grades? Any tips would be appreciated and considered. Thanks you guys! :)</p>
<p>Welcome to CC. Are you in California? If so, you absolutely can work toward transferring to UCI and it doesn’t matter where you finished high school.UCI will not look at your HS records- only your community college records. </p>
<p>Google IGETC if you are not familiar with it. Each CA community college has an agreement with the UC’s and Cal States as to which of their courses will satisfy the UC lower division General Education requirements. If you obtain your IGETC from your Community College, it means that you have completed the necessary classes to transfer to a UC as a junior. You would still have to maintain a minimum GPA to be accepted. You should meet with a counselor at your school ASAP to set up a plan to meet the IGETC requirements. They should be able to tell you what courses are needed as well as what GPA you might need for UCI. I recommend meeting with a counselor at least once per semester to make sure you are staying on track. Sometimes, one Counselor might miss something that a different one might catch so it doesn’t to see a different one each time. </p>
<p>As for graduating from a Continuation School, it really doesn’t matter in the long run. It sounds like you are on the right track now. Just don’t be afraid to visit the Counselors often to make sure you are completing the necessary requirements. That’s what they are there for!</p>
