<p>Hello i am a transfer at a ccc, i took 2 classes in fall 2010 that i received a F and a D because of some financial troubles at home. Since then i retook the class and have gotten A's in them and had academic renewal for both of them. My question is when UC's evaluate my application will this affect my weighted GPA.</p>
<p>If u receive academic renewal then they will not count towards your gpa…I had to do AR for 2 semesters</p>
<p>wow that was quick, thank you very much. I really appreciate it!!</p>
<p>No problem! And for a more in depth answer…from the UC website:</p>
<p>Does the university accept academic renewal? Is it a good idea to pursue academic renewal, or does it look bad on a UC application? How would UC calculate the student’s GPA?</p>
<p>The university does accept academic renewal, a process which provides for the removal of previously recorded substandard grades that do not reflect the student’s abilities. If another college or university grants academic renewal and the corresponding grades are zeroed out, UC will calculate the GPA the same way as the institution sending the transcript. The information provided on the UC application must appear exactly as it does on the transcript.</p>
<p>UC considers academic renewal to be a very good idea for students who have a viable reason for using it. On the application, UC expects the student to explain why academic renewal was needed and how the student overcame the difficulties that led to it.</p>
