<p>I am debating on whether or not I should attend UCLA or UCSD. My major is in the humanities department so pre-reqs don't really apply to my major, and my igetc has been completed already. I am worried though because of how vague UCLA's provisional admissions contract is. It states:</p>
<p>UCLA:
Maintain Academic Performance
Maintain the grade point average and complete the courses and number of units you reported in your application and in any subsequent course updates. You must be in good standing at your last institution of attendance. Also, if you attended another UC campus in regular session prior to enrollment at UCLA, you must have been in good standing when you left that UC campus. Notify our office immediately of any withdrawals, incomplete grades, drop in academic performance [including any D and F grades], or other changes to your class schedule. [See Contacting UCLA section.] </p>
<p>Because my igetc has been completed for awhile now, I haven't taken a lot of classes this year and I only took 2 classes last quarter (microbiology, a 6 unit class, which i received a C in and Human Anatomy, a 5 unit class, that I got a B in)...by the way i'm taking these classes because I plan on pursuing nursing after receiving a degree in the liberal arts at a UC. Is this going to affect my admission. Getting that C in a 6-unit course has lowered my overall transferable gpa from 3.3 to 3.23....I am worried that they will rescind my acceptance and it will be too late for me to submit my sir to UCSD...I CANNOT stay at a jc any longer...it's been miserable. UCSD's provisional contract agreement is much clearer. </p>
<p>UCSD:
Conditions of Admission:</p>
<pre><code>* Complete at least 60 semester or 90 quarter UC transferable units by the end of Spring term 2009 with an overall UC grade point average (GPA) of at least a 3.00.
* Remain in good academic standing in your last regular term with at least a 2.00 GPA for UC-transferable course work for that term.
</code></pre>
<p>So I know for sure if I submit my sir at UCSD there will be no problems...i adhere to those conditions...UCLA is the one i'm worried about. I prefer UCLA and probably would have already submitted my sir, but i'm afraid they are gonna screw me over (I've heard some horror stories from people I know who had their admissions rescinded and had to BEG to attend UCR). What do you think? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!</p>
<p>That has got me worried as well although I will likely maintain my GPA.</p>
<p>I heard that this policy is the same as the other UC policy where you don’t get below a 3.0 for the semester. Mostly everyone got the “Maintain the grade point average” requirement with the exception of a few people who must get certain grades in some classes.</p>
<p>Seriously, this sucks…the worrying/stress never ends…even after you’ve been admitted. Based on the UCSD contract it seems that you need an OVERALL transferable gpa of 3.0gpa…and the last quarters/semester gpa of @ least 2.00…I hope for UCLA it isn’t a min. 3.0gpa for the last quarter/semester because my winter quarter gpa was 2.45 since I only took two classes and received a C and B</p>
<p>I expect to get A’s or B’s in my classes this quarter…just afraid of that C in Microbio (i don’t even remember the last time I got a C)…it seriously kicked my ass…half the class failed</p>
<ul>
<li>Complete at least 60 semester or 90 quarter UC transferable units by the end of Spring term 2009 with an overall UC grade point average (GPA) of at least a 3.00.</li>
<li>Remain in good academic standing in your last regular term with at least a 2.00 GPA for UC-transferable course work for that term.</li>
</ul>
<p>Ok UCLA requires that your last regular term (spring semester/spring quarter) you have a minimum of a C in ALL of your courses. However, heres the catch if you read the first statement. You MUST maintain an OVERALL GPA of a 3.0 . Therefore, pretend you get 4 Cs in your last semester or quarter and you end up with an overall GPA of 3.0 or higher then you are good. If you get 4 Cs in your last semester or quarter and your overall GPA becomes lower than a 3.0 because of those Cs then you will get rescinded (or theres a high chance). As a general rule if you are boarderline at a 3.0 get Bs, if you have a high GPA like a 3.5-4.0 then its safe to get Cs unless you are taking 20 units in your last semester or quarter.</p>
<p>So the rule is get at least a C in all of your courses but your overall GPA with those Cs must be 3.0 or higher.</p>
<p>Thank you for your input! So the UCSD and UCLA provisional contracts are the same?..i was worried that since UCLA didn’t specifically state in detail the minimum gpa’s that their contract would be upheld differently.</p>
<p>"* Complete at least 60 semester or 90 quarter UC transferable units by the end of Spring term 2009 with an overall UC grade point average (GPA) of at least a 3.00.
Remain in good academic standing in your last regular term with at least a 2.00 GPA for UC-transferable course work for that term.

<p>That’s not what I got. Did anyone else get that for UCLA?</p>
<p>That isn’t part of the UCLA provisional contract…it is part of UCSD. Sorry if i confused you guys…if you re-read my original post I tried to label them UCLA: and UCSD:…i guess it wasn’t very clear though</p>
<p>UCLAri: I’m glad to hear that…but what makes you say that it’s almost guaranteed UCLA won’t rescind admission once accepted? Or are you just referring to the OP?</p>
<p>I’m worrying a little because I have a minor schedule change along with a summer class I reported I’d be taking that is for my major prepwork. Unfortunately, it isn’t being provided at my school over the summer. I found out recently since the summer schedule was just released. The minor schedule change is a 3 unit course I need to complete my IGETC, nothing important other than the unit completion. </p>
<p>Ugh…I’m stressing more about the summer class. Although, in the agreement, it says nothing about this class. It only states I need to complete my current math class with a B or higher.</p>
<p>sekhmet: I think that UCLAri is referring to my situation…I thought i’d try to help you out the best I could though. Here are your options:
Call UCLA and inform them that you cant take it in the summer…i’m sure this happens quite often.
Try to take that class in the summer @ another JC
As for the minor schedule change…I don’t think igetc completion is requirement…i think it depends on your major…but it would be best to let them know what’s going on</p>
<p>…thanks for everyone’s help…I am going to e-mail or call UCLA sometime this week about my situation…i just wanted to see if anyone else had any thoughts about it. I suggest others who are worried about being rescinded to do the same ASAP…it is better to call them now and know for sure…then wait until after June 1 to be rescinded and no longer have other available options.</p>
<p>ty for your reply. i’ll still be completing igetc with this different class. it’s just western art history, not social psychology anymore (nothing to do with my major).</p>
<p>i’ve been searching other colleges throughout my county but all they offer are basic anthro courses, not the language & culture class i need. ahh! i might be willing to drive an hour to LA to take this class. lol.</p>
<p>^ Sekhmet, I have the same exact problem as you!
but Im not able to take 2 prereq classes during summer since they are full already…
and i checked many ccs around me and either they don’t offer them or they are full already… I am thinking to call tomorrow and ask if they will let me to take those classes in UCLA during fall because I am sure I can’t take those classes during summer.
Ahhh… hope i won’t get rescinded!!</p>
<p>Most UCs use the same contract, when I got accepted by Cal and Davis contracts were the same in terms of minimum grade required and overall GPA. Some people may have different contracts but thats a rare case. Pretty much to understand what grades you need to maintain. Read the contract find the parts where it states the minimum grade you need to get (in the case I posted before it was a C) and the minimum overall GPA. The lowest grade you can get is the minimum grade, AS LONG as it doesn’t push you below the minimum overall GPA then you are fine. If the minimum grade pushes you below the minimum GPA then you will be forced to get grades higher than the minimum grade. I have an example in my last post.</p>
<p>If anyone wants me to look at their individual contracts, just PM me a copy of the contract and I’ll tell you everything that you have to do.</p>
<p>Now everyone take a deep breath, nobody is going to get rescinded unless you start dropping courses and pulling out Fs and Ds. =P</p>
<p>sekhmet: Are you going to complete your IGETC after you finish your spring semester/quarter? About the summer course that you said is a pre-req (if I’m not mistaken). You’ll be fine, the UCs understand that you won’t know for sure if a specific course will be available during the summer or not. I know for sure when I got into Cal they disregarded my planned summer courses even though one of the courses was a pre-req for my major. It just states in my contract that I need to contact my undergraduate admissions officer if I am going to take summer courses before signing up for my summer courses. I say just give them a call, I see a very low chance of you getting rescinded for this. Sometimes they feel its better for you to take the course at the UCs instead of at a CC. Plus its just one course so you are not behind. And your pre-reqs are most likely “complete as many as possible” rather than “you must complete all of the pre-reqs”. Since most agreements with “you must complete all of the pre-reqs” require you to complete all the pre-reqs before spring, so you wouldn’t be accepted in the first place anyhow.</p>
<p>So just give them a call, everything is going to be ok.</p>
<p>I’m going to call UCLA tomorrow regarding my situation. I’ve been accepted to UCLA as a Bus-Econ major and I’m currently taking three courses. I already have 2 W’s. I’ve just dropped a course this semester with a W (Business - Investments). It is non-transferable, not part of IGETC, and it is also not on ASSIST.org. </p>
<p>Although it is a Business course and I was wondering would my offer get rescinded for this. I’m getting really nervous/paranoid.</p>
<p>The thing is I’ve finished all of my pre-reqs/requirements last Fall of 08. This semester I am taking classes for the heck of it because I didn’t want really wanted to stay home. I ended up dropping this course because it is my first time taking an online class and I just didn’t really enjoy it.</p>
<p>Any advice or suggestions would be helpful. Thanks</p>
<p>You will be fine, you can call just to be certain. But there is no way they will rescind you for a non-transferable course. In fact it wasn’t suppose to be on your application in the first place.</p>
ahh! i might be willing to drive an hour to LA to take this class. lol.</p>
