Screwed with F in fall even if made up by Winter Intersession?

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>I am getting an F in a class and I was wondering if anyone knows if it will hurt me even if i make it up in winter intersession which ends in late January? Anyone ever heard of a situation like this? When do the UC's usually request Fall grades? Don't sugar coat it.</p>

<p>Doing well on the final to get 2.0 dude.</p>

<p>they request fall grades sometime in February, is it a UC transferable course? Both calculations will go into your GPA so it will hurt your gpa for UC either way.</p>

<p>^ Um no i believe if he retakes the class the new grade replaces the old one.</p>

5

<p>It is a UC transferable course and I hope El Barto is right.</p>

6

<p>you should able to show the winter grade also..</p>

7

<p>The UC will still see the F there when you report it but it won’t be in the calculation if you make it up with a passing grade</p>

<p>Thanks for the responses guys, you are right about it replacing it and being able to report the winter grade. I just got off the phone with UC admissions and they verified this in case anyone is in the same situation. Good luck everyone.</p>

<p>^ so as long you are able to report the winter grade, the uc will use that grade over the one we have on previous record like say fall 2007?? BUT i read that when they do GPA calculation they will only use your fall grades only, we can report winter grades but they won’t use it to the GPA calculation…</p>

<p>no. it may replace the other in terms of credit but not on the transcript. both will show up. you can only petition for acadmeic forgiveness two years after the grade is out.</p>

<p>plus what nancie said. winter will not really be considered tho you will be prompted to list planned courses</p>

12

<p>nancie, where did you read winter grades won’t be consider in the gpa? i’ve asked other people who’ve asserted the same thing before, and i got no answer</p>

<p>ucdadmissions, do you know?</p>

<p>here’s something i just found</p>

<p>so, if the most recent grades, which can replace failing grades, are considered in the gpa, and winter session grades are the most recent grades, then winter grades are considered in the gpa??</p>

<p>philosophy majors help me out</p>

<p>If you have the winter intersession grade to report on the update form then the campuses should use that grade to replace the fall grade. Please use the additional comments section of the update form to explain the failing grade and successful plan to complete the course in during the winter session.</p>
