For computer science majors the tag requirements are
Have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 in required courses below:
Complete one year of approved college level math, preferably courses in calculus equivalent to UCI’s Mathematics 2A-B; if not available, two semester courses equivalent to other major-related math courses are acceptable
One year of transferable computer sciences courses, involving concepts such as those found in Python, Java, C++, or other object-oriented, high-level programming language; data structures; assembly language and machine organization.
Is the 3.0 cumulative GPA a combination of both math and CS classes?
My Calc 1 and calc 2 gpa is 3.5 while my CS gpa is 2.86. I received a C in a 4 unit class however I got a A in a 3 unit class. Will my tag be voided because of this? I assumed it’s cumulative math + CS but it is vague. Any one have experience?
UCI website states 3.4 for TAG:
:::
Students who wish to be considered for the following majors should follow the required and recommended course preparation outlined below.
Required of all majors in the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences unless otherwise specified:
Meet all basic UC admission requirements with a minimum grade of C or better
Have a cumulative UC transferable GPA of 3.0 (3.4 for TAG), unless otherwise specified
Complete 60 semester or 90 UC quarter units of UC transferable credit by the end of the spring term prior to the fall quarter of enrollment
Additional computer science courses beyond the two required are strongly recommended, particularly those that align with the major(s) of interest.
Additional courses beyond those required for admission may be taken at UCI to fulfill the lower division degree courses; for some transfer students, this may mean it will take longer than two years to complete their degree.
Second Baccalaureate candidates must meet UC and UCI transfer admission criteria. Admission is competitive and not guaranteed.
Computer Science
Have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 in required courses below:
Complete one year of approved college level math, preferably courses in calculus equivalent to UCI’s Mathematics 2A-B; if not available, two semester courses equivalent to other major-related math courses are acceptable
One year of transferable computer sciences courses, involving concepts such as those found in Python, Java, C++, or other object-oriented, high-level programming language; data structures; assembly language and machine organization.
Notes:
Additional computer science courses beyond the two required are strongly recommended, particularly those that align with the major of interest. Our first year of object-oriented programming is taught in Python. C++ and Java is used extensively in the curriculum; therefore, transfer students should plan to learn it by studying on their own or by completing related programming courses prior to their first quarter at UCI.
Courses in Visual Basic and C are not approved preparation for this major.

Yes it is 3.4 overall I am aware of that. I am asking about the part where it starts @ “Have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 in required courses below:”. 3.4 is not answering my question. I know it is 3.4 because that information is available everywhere.
