Transfer Students UC Transfers
1

This is my situation:

When I was in high school during the summer of 2011, I took elementary chemistry at my local cc, which is a non transferable class. Currently, this class is UC transferable and I received a D in it. When I talked to my counselor the countless times, he told me that non transferable classes are not counted under the UC GPA or IGETC.

I was always under the impression that whatever class isn’t listed on the IGETC, isn’t transferable but that’s not the case. In fact, alot of classes are UC transferable; even ones like Hip Hop, PE, and non academic/chill classes.

So when making my UC App, I listed Elementary Chemistry and the grade I got: D
Well, I got in to UC Davis/SD/ SB/ LA. The thing is, when I was looking over the credit courses for UC Davis, I noticed that Elementary Chemistry class I took is transferable.

So I was confused. Isn’t it an automatic rejection if I have a D in a transferable class. I was accepted to all these colleges and the admission offers who admitted me clearly saw my grade in Elementary Chemistry.

I’m not sure what to do. Do I call and let them know that I got a D during my Junior Year in highschool, or do I just continue on with submitting my transcripts. Most problems for people are the D’s and F’s they get the Spring before their transfer but for me, I put my D on my UC App. People reviewing it had months to look at my grades and determine eligibility so I’m not sure if this should be a problem I should bring up. The provisional contract states very clearly the terms but my situation already shows that I put the information down for everyone to see.

I’m really anxious and nervous about this. I always followed the igetc and assumed that whatever class isn’t listed on the IGETC isn’t academically transferable to UC’s. Obv, that wasn’t the case and the information I got was wrong.

Advice pls ;___;?

The provisional contract is just for courses taken since filling out the application. If you got a D before that, they were aware of it when they accepted you and can’t rescind you for that, as long as it was reported.

You should be fine.

Thank you. That was very reassuring. I’m still a little on edge but it’s nice knowing there’s some leeway for me. If anyone has any other experiences/advice for this problem, please don’t hesitate to post.

@bigproblemhere , get back away from the edge. You literally have ZERO reason to worry about anything. Since you put it in your application that you got a D in that course, the UCs are well aware of that fact.
