Including Remedial Classes for UC TAG???

<p>2 questions.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Do I have to include remedial courses in the UC TAG/TAP self-reporting coursework part??</p></li>
<li><p>I failed Philosophy twice, but I took it again and got an A. It only let's me choose 1 F as retaken, the other one remains as an F and makes my calculated GPA low.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>What should I do???</p>

<p>I had all my classes and units and GPA all calculated by a UC Counselor, and right now I have 44 units, with a 3.55 GPA.</p>

<p>But on the UC TAP/TAG application from all the coursework I've entered in my GPA comes out to 3.14</p>

<p>Should I be worried???</p>

<ol>
<li>Yes, include all classes taken. There’s going to be an option to add classes on the TAG.</li>
<li> I think you’ll be fine. I’m sure they’re not going to count that class twice.</li>
</ol>

<p>They’ll look over your TAG, and when they see you retook the class for an A, they’ll ignore the two fails for calculating your GPA.</p>

<p>What about the calculated GPA on my TAG???</p>

<p>The total calculated GPA is 3.14</p>

<p>But the UC counselor told me that my GPA was a 3.55…</p>

<p>They will only look at UC transferable GPA.</p>

<p>Oh so the Assist GPA?</p>

<p>I was tripping out cause my counselor said my GPA was a 3.55 and I had 44 units.</p>

<p>But on the overall GPA it said 3.14, and Assist GPA 3.72</p>

<p>What the heck is going on?</p>

<p>Assist GPA is what they look at, not the other GPA. The Assist GPA includes the UC-transferable courses which is really all the UC’s care about when transferring.</p>

<p>Assist Gpa is the classes on assist.org right?? So it doesn’t include eng writing and ge’s ?or is it all the uc transferable classes such as art?</p>

<p>Coursework Summary</p>

<p>GPA: Units(Sem/Qtr):
ASSIST Certified Courses: 3.72 69.00/103.50
Non-ASSIST Certified Courses: 2.25 21.00/ 31.50
Other Grading Systems: (not used in GPA/Unit totals) N/A 3.00/ 4.50
Overall: 3.13 90.00/135.00</p>

<p>So the one they take into consideration for UCSB TAG would be the 3.72 GPA???</p>

<p>So would I be admitted for UC TAG??? Based on what you guys see?</p>

<p>I still don’t understand how this number is off from the 44 units and 3.55 GPA the UC Counselor gave me over the phone.</p>

<p>Assist GPA includes ALL UC-transferable courses. If your GE’s and English courses are UC-transferable (i.e English 1A) they will all go towards that UC GPA. Every course that you have listed on the Transfer Admission Planner will be counted into the Overall GPA, but the ones that UC’s care about are the UC-transferable ones that will go into the Assist GPA. Hope this makes sense!</p>

<p>Yes, you would be admitted for UC TAG. The 3.72 is the **only **GPA they look at when making the TAG decisions. Not sure what/how your counselor got those figures, maybe you hadn’t transferred all your work to that college and he/she was unaware of some units from elsewhere? AP scores? Whatever it was, if you have entered your information correctly on Assist, you are in good shape for TAG with the 3.72 GPA.</p>

<p>Just because a course is not Assist certified doesn’t automatically mean that it isn’t UC transferable. Depending on where the course was taken, or maybe how long ago the course was taken it may be UC transferable, but not listed in Assist. The GPA they use may end up being a little different than your Assist certified GPA. You should definitely give the school call and ask the question.</p>

<p>Would I be able to somehow show my coursework thing from UC TAP/TAG to my UC counselor???</p>

<p>Or I’ll call her again or something.</p>

<p>I’m so paranoid I wanna make sure I’m accepted to UCSB… I love that school</p>

<p>@ TonyStark93</p>

<p>I would call them back and tell them that you’ve entered all your coursework correctly into the Transfer Admission Planner website and your Assist GPA comes out to 3.72. They aren’t really the ones that see what you’ve entered, nor can they until you’ve sent the application in. Maybe try a CC counselor to see what they’ll say? As far as what I’m seeing though, if like I said, you entered everything correctly, you’re good to go for UCSB tag.</p>

<p>Hi, OK now I have a question. My daughter just submitter her TAG for UCSB also, she took two classes at CSUDH while in high school, and then went to one semester @ SFSU prior to SBCC. </p>

<p>Her Assist info is as follows:</p>

<p>GPA:
ASSIST Certified Courses: 3.48
Non-ASSIST Certified Courses: 3.31 </p>

<p>Overall Total: 3.41</p>

<p>So are you saying that for TAG admission UCSB only looks at the Assist Certified GPA 3.48 for TAG purposes even though the others courses are GE courses (used for IGETC) that she was told would transfer? </p>

<p>In either case, is her GPA sufficient to meet the TAG admission criteria?</p>

<p>@sockher they will only look at the assist certified (UC transferable) GPA.</p>

<p>Thanks mermaker…so I guess she is good!!</p>

<p>Quick update.</p>

<p>Just got an email from my UCSB counselor this morning, she says everything I entered in was correct and that I’m good to go :slight_smile: !!!</p>

<p>But a quick question for you old timers, for those who have already done TAG and what not, when exactly do we get our results? And do we have to re-enter all our coursework when applying for other UC campuses?</p>

<p>Also, I understand that we have to enter in Fall 2013 grades once the semester ends.</p>

<p>@TonyStark93</p>

<p>You will find out by early-mid November. Each UC has a different release dates for the results. In this year’s UC app, apparently they have made it easy for students by allowing the export of the coursework entered from the UC TAG app. Not sure how this works, but it’s supposed to be something just recently implemented.</p>

<p>To answer your second question, yes, you have to enter your Fall grades in mid January. For last years’ TAG, we did January 8th.</p>

<p>One last question before I let you guys go.</p>

<p>I recently added a yoga class (don’t ask why lol), do I need to withdraw my UC TAG application and add that class???</p>

<p>If I withdraw it, do I have to resubmit it???</p>

<p>If I resubmit it, do I get pushed down the list of other people that already submitted it???</p>
