I got credit for my AP English, but not for English 1B which is CCC transferable!

<p>I was recently accepted to UC Davis for a humanities major. I was looking at my credit/unit history online, and I noticed that I did not receive credit for my English 1B class which I received an A in.</p>

<p>It is a California Community College transferable course, and the only thing I can think of that's preventing me from getting credit for it, is my AP English Language score which I received a 4 on. Maybe getting credit for my AP excludes me from getting credit for English 1B?</p>

<p>I really hoped that it would not be like that because I know AP classes can only fulfill 1rst year of college classes like English 1A, not 1B. English 1B at my community college requires an English 1A pre-req or AP language score of 4 or 5. </p>

<p>At this point, you're probably wondering why I'm still concerned if I'm already in, but I'm worried the two UC's left to go are going to do the same thing.</p>

<p>Thanks for your help!</p>

<p>The reason why they haven’t given you credit is because the UC requires your instructor of English 1B to fill out a questionnaire to make sure that it is the same UC equivalent English course, or else you’ll have to do it over your first year at that UC. (I don’t know why they don’t do that in the first place…I mean, it says its Transferable…-.-‘’)</p>

<p>All the UCs give you that questionnaire to make your instructor fill out after you submit your SIR. So don’t worry, that will be cleared up during summer.</p>

<p>Thanks man for the help. That’s really stupid that they don’t count it toward the 60 unit minimum or towards your GPA when evaluating applicants, but give you credit after you get in. If I didn’t overload this semester, I would have been short on units. *sigh.</p>

<p>Do you know roughly when they might send out this questionnaire? Will it be after June 1rst? I’m worried because my 1B instructor might not even be here in the summer.</p>

<p>you should have received credit for it regardless, can you state which community college you go to? Depending on the community college, there are three or two english courses. Sometimes the latter of those english courses count towards igetc english critical writing and composition, but other times they don’t. The AP Test might have given credit to that English 1B class, maybe because it isn’t counted towards the second english course requirement for igetc. Regardless of all these minor things, you should have received credit for both because if you did both english courses, your ap test would just have given you elective credit</p>

<p>I go to Pasadena City College. This is the link to the course: [PCC</a> Schedule](<a href=“http://www.paccd.cc.ca.us/instadmn/compsvcs/kiosk/SCHEDULE/SC70680.HTM]PCC”>http://www.paccd.cc.ca.us/instadmn/compsvcs/kiosk/SCHEDULE/SC70680.HTM)</p>

I’ve read it somewhere, the date I mean, so I’ll go chat with my Honor’s counselor today and ask her about it. I’ll post back later. </p>

<p>For your AP Credit, on your CCC transcript you should have a CR. Don’t worry again. [:</p>

<p>You’re welcome, man.</p>

<p>LOL.</p>

<p>if you check on assist.org, the only courses that count for the second english requirement are Eng 1C, Philo 25, and Physc 2, the other courses don’t. follow assist, not what a guide says. You probably just got credit for 1B because you passed the ap test, and many students who score a 5 pass the first two english courses when they show their records to community colleges</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Correct, but I have Philo 25 done which fulfills the Part 1B of IGETC i.e. the second english requirement.</p>

<p>I’m not using English 1B to fulfill any English requirements, I took it as an extra humanities which fulfills Part 3 of IGETC. </p>

<p>I put down “AP english language: score 4” on my UC app to fulfill part 1A of IGETC.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I didn’t get credit for 1B, that’s why I’m somewhat annoyed. I only got credit for getting a 4 on the AP english language test. =(</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Okay cool thanks. Also, I have ordered a transcript from the records office and had it sent to me so I could see what it would look like for fun. For some reason it doesn’t have any AP scores listed there even though I’m sure I sent my AP scores to my community college. In fact, I had to before they would clear me to take English 1B. </p>

<p>When we all SIR in the summer, should I meet with a counselor to make sure our AP’s should or shouldn’t show up on the community college transcript? </p>

<p>Or do UC’s just want you to send scores directly from the college board?</p>

<p>^
I submitted my AP scores to my CCC and it took a while (a semester) for them to post to my file. I met with my Honor’s Counselor today, and they were posted already and thus I have already received my ‘CR’ for them all. [: </p>

<p>As for the English questionnaire, I also asked her about her and she told me that they used to do it for our college, (well, at least Berkeley did) but it’s cleared up now, so they don’t ask for it anymore for our college. Your best bet is to talk to a counselor (preferably an Honor’s Counselor because they know about TAGs and they just know about transferring in general so they won’t bs you, and let them know what’s up!) and ask about it.</p>

<p>For Berkeley:</p>

<p>ONLINE FORMS: Reading and Composition Form</p>

<p>Q: I gave the Reading & Composition questionnaire to my instructor to complete. How can I make sure it was submitted?
Q: How do I know that you received my Reading & Composition questionnaire?
A: Unfortunately, the admissions office cannot check on this form for you. If you checked with your instructor and it was submitted by the deadline, the College of Letters & Science should receive it—don’t worry.</p>

<p>Q: Do I have to provide the Reading & Composition questionnaire if I am a transfer applicant from a UC campus?
A: It depends—you may have fulfilled this requirement via UC reciprocity. Check your messages and list of Required Forms at myBerkeleyApplication.</p>

<p>ONLINE FORMS: Application Update</p>

<p>Q: Am I required to submit an SAT/AP?
A: No. SATs/APs/IBs can be used to fulfill certain breadth requirements. If you are offered admission and we need official scores, you will be instructed to submit them July 15.</p>

<p>Thanks for the help!</p>

<p>I read through all this very quickly so I hope I’m answering all the questions. Right now the Credit Summary is very unofficial. We have not yet done the credit evaluation to add units from AP scores; nor have we reviewed the coursework to make sure all transferable courses were noticed by the application system. Please use this as a guide to determine an estimate of the units that are transferable but, do not become concerned with errors as we will fix them when we complete our official evaluation of transfer coursework.</p>

Thanks for that! [:</p>

</p>

<p>Ah okay thanks, is the way UCD preliminarily evaluates credit for applicants shared with other UC’s?</p>

<p>Or does each UC evaluate credit independently, which might mean the same applicant could end up with a slightly different total number of units and GPA?</p>

<p>Since other UC’s don’t have a credit summary that I can view online, besides UCD, I’m worried that the way UCD evaluated me is the way UCLA and Cal will see my profile.</p>

<p>Please note that this unofficial Credit summary is straight from the self reported academic record as reported on the application; no evaluation has been done on this credit summary. Each campus will be completing their own evaluation and this information is not what other campuses see.</p>
