<p>No. @Gumbymom UCs don’t recognize Out Of State honors courses, only APs are weighted. You would not select honors for the courses mentioned, only AP or IB.

<p>How do you calculate an out-of-state applicant’s GPA? Do you give extra credit for the school’s honors courses?</p>

<p>UC calculates an out-of-state applicant’s GPA the same way it calculates the GPA of a California resident. The campus would use all courses the student took to meet “a-g” requirements from the summer before 10th grade to the summer after 11th grade. In calculating a nonresident’s GPA, UC will grant honors weight for AP or IB courses only, but not for school-designated honors courses.</p>
