<p>Okay, I did really bad my first year of UCSC and ended up dropping out, I’m currently at a community college(SJCC) right now, and I kinda have a few questions because I’m looking to transfer to UCD…</p>

<li><p>Will my GPA at UCSC be calculated into my CC gpa now? when I apply to transfer, how will UCD calculate my GPA? my old GPA was 1.8 (-0-ll) GPA at the end of this Quarter would be like 3.0. </p></li>
<li><p>I got a D, if I take a class or equivalent of it, will it replace the grade AND add more credits? or just replace the grade? Can someone explain this academic renewal/forgiveness business?</p></li>
<li><p>I know for the TAG agreement thing, you have to have under 80semester units/90 quarter.
So at UCSC, i took 27 quarter units, for Summer school at FCC (different city college), I took 7 semester units = 10.5 quarter, and fall semester at SJCC I took 14 semester units = 12 quarter. Adding all that up, I have 49.5 quarter units. The thing I’m wondering about is that I took a lot of AP classes in high school and I got a total of 32 quarter units from there. I’m using the AP credits to fulfill the IGETC. Question is, is the AP credits transfered into the total units you have? Like, I don’t have 49.5 quarter units, but I have 49.5+32=81.5 units?? If that’s the case, do I have no chance into UCD with the TAG agreement?</p></li>
<li><p>When applying, would I have to send transcripts from UCSC, FCC, and SJCC? Does it look bad to have gone to so many schools? I think I will be at a CC for another year before I am able to transfer. </p></li>
<li><p>when you’re applying, will the school be looking at your current GPA or your prospective one at the end of the semester?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>If it matters, I’m looking to transfer in as a Biology B.S. Major and Neurobiology, Physiology, and Behavior Minor</p>

<p>Thanks in Advance.</p>

<li><p>Yes gpa will include UCSC. It is your gpa in transferable courses. All the courses you took in UCSC will be / should be transferable. </p></li>
<li><p>Usually it replaces the grade completely and the units do not get recounted but that usually happens if you take it in the same school not in a different school. when you take it in different schools you get the D+ units and the New grade + units all calculated in your GPA.</p></li>
<li><p>To sign tag AP do not count. you would qualify for TAG butyou will need usually at least 30 units at the community college you want to sign the TAG at .</p></li>
<li><p>Yes, from all schools. No it doesnt look bad. It doesnt matter. I send transcripts for 5 schools.</p></li>
<li><p>You apply in November- during Fall Semester/quarter ------ in January/ Feb there is an update form, you update your grades on that form, so the GPA that is looked at for admission is the GPA including that fall semester.</p></li>
