<p>Sorry if this has been answered before, but I simply can't find it. By the time I transfer (hopefully UCD) I will have a between 97-110 units that are UC transferrable.</p>
<p>I made some poor decisions early in my college career and have 2 C's on my record that are holding my UC GPA below 3.8</p>
<p>This 3.8 number is important because I see that there are several scholarship and financial aid opportunities that open up for transfer students "who have maintained a 3.8 GPA or higher."</p>
<p>Since the school will only accept 70 units as credit will this affect the GPA recieved by them? What I mean is... if I have 110 UC eligible units and a GPA of 3.72, but when they trim the fat and remove the non-GE non-major specific classes I have a GPA of 3.9. Is that how it works? Or do they look at the GPA as an over-all of all 110 units, and simply calculate the credits for graduation purposes?</p>
<p>Any help would be greatly appreciated as I can't seem to find the specific answer ANYWHERE!</p>
<p>Also: Is it true that I can retake these courses to improve my UC GPA? I read somewhere that you had to receive a D or lower to qualify for course retakes... assuming my CCC allows me to retake them will UCD recognize the newer grade and ignore the older grade?</p>
<p>They calculate your GPA using all you UC transferable classes, so all 110 units will be used in calculating your GPA.</p>
<p>Also, UC’s will only replace grades of D or lower.</p>
<p>Thank you for the prompt reply and exact info I wanted about both questions! :)</p>
<p>^^ Yup, UChopeful is right.</p>
<p>As I previously stated, the huge scholarships/FA available once I hit the 3.8 mark is incredible, and it is very important that I can receive them.</p>
<p>To further my question, when do they calculate the official GPA?</p>
<p>If i transfer in Spring 2012, the following would be the only way to get my GPA to 3.8</p>
<p>Spring 2011 - start GPA - 3.71, end GPA - 3.76</p>
<p>Summer 2011 - start GPA - 3.76, end GPA - 3.78</p>
<p>Fall 2011 - start GPA -3.78, end GPA - 3.80</p>
<p>When do they calculate the official transfer GPA? Obviously I will not have the required GPA until the semester RIGHT BEFORE transfer, will I qualify for the scholarship?</p>
<p>Also, if the UC system does not allow retakes of classes with a C or higher how would they receive a transfer with retakes of classes that were a C? Just an average of the two grades?</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>The scholarship in question is the UCD “regents” scholarship, which after looking further looks like 3.8 may only qualify me for (much like a 2.4 “qualifies” you to transfer), does anyone have any additional information of the availability of the UCD regents scholarship and its difficulty to obtain (especially given my specific situation as listed above)?</p>
<p>I know I’m up to 3 questions, but things keep coming up! Thank you!</p>
<p>Transfer GPA is calculated including classes through the Fall.</p>
<p>If you were to retake a class in which you received a C or better, the UC’s will not consider a retake (i.e., the second time you take it will not be factored into your GPA or Units).</p>
<p>Sorry, can’t help with the UC Davis question.</p>
