<p>I've looked everywhere and haven't found a clearly worded answer on the UCLA website. Maybe someone here knows?</p>
<p>Let's say someone has a 3.2 GPA at CC and gets into UCLA. At UCLA, they manage a 3.7 in their courses. Is their <em>graduation</em> GPA in terms of qualifying for honors based ONLY on the 3.7 earned at UCLA? Or is it based on the cumulative from both CC and UCLA (3.2 + 3.7 = average 3.45 and not in the running for honors) and thus would not qualify for honors?</p>
<p>I've seen colleges go either way on this. Santa Clara University has it worded pretty clearly that honors at grad are based on SCU grades only. San Jose State University has it pretty clearly worded that honors at grad are based on total culmulative (CC + SJSU). Etc.</p>
<p>UCLAs wording has a little bit of fuzz and could be interpreted either way. Someone else know for certain?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>UC grades only. CC GPA has no effect on UC GPA, and thus no effect on honors GPA. It's kind of like restarting - your CC 4.0 won't pull up UC grades; your CC 2.0 won't pull them down.</p>
<p>If CC grades were factored in for honors determination, transfer students would have a big advantage over UC freshmen.</p>
<p>No offense, but if a person ended up with a 3.2 at their cc and has high hopes for a higher gpa at UCLA or Cal might be kidding themselves. Those schools are a lot more rigorous and impersonal unlike cc.</p>
<p>it is UC only- but- few of us CC students are going to qualify for that because you need a min of 90 units- so unless you are a science or engineering major you probably are not going to take 90 units at UC.</p>
<p>And it is true that in most cases one can expect their gpa to SLIGHTLY drop once they transfer to a UC. But that drop can be attributed also to the fact that many CCs do not use +/- system.</p>
<p>mobilemayhem - no offense taken. The numbers were random. The question also applied to having a 4.0 at CC and what would happen if UCLA GPA was lower and how that affects issue of honors at graduation.</p>
<p>I think Malishka31 pointed out the most interesting issue - that of taking 90 credits at UCLA by the time one graduates. Is taking 15 credits per quarter (fall/win/spr) at UCLA difficult?</p>
<p>Annika</p>
<p>well it would be 16 not 15. Most classes are 4 units each. So you would take 4 courses a quarter, that is average. I personally did not do that, but i worked ... also on a quarter system four classes is quite fast.</p>
<p>transfer students with less than 90 ucla units can petition for latin honors</p>
<p>what's latin honors?</p>
<p>Cumma Laude
Summa ... whatever I don't remember
There are 3 of them and they are referred as Latin Honors.</p>
<p>Also, you need at least 3.667 GPA (UC grades only) AND at least 90 quarter units completed at UC to get the honor! Some students (most likely transfers) have the GPA but miss the units requirement still do not have the honors.</p>
<p>I would agree completely, yet is it not possible that the school may look for, not grades (not very possible), but personal talent? I stand at the top of all my GT classes here in Texas, but my grades are only scraping above ninety. And this may sound fairly immature, but does 'CC' stand for College credit? I'm sorry, I'm younger than I sound.</p>
<p>You do not get latin honors for personal talent. </p>
<p>CC stands for community college.</p>
<p>hope: "I'm younger than I sound."</p>
<p>isn't that a little holier-than-thou talk?
being keen on clauses doesn't make you sound mature.</p>
