UCR admission. Please help!

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hello, </p>

<p>I got accepted into UCR as a transfer student for this upcoming fall. I had been attending a community college for 3 years. The Provisions of Admission on my UCR account required me to get grades of "C" or better for my spring semester. I received an A in Accounting, D in Calculus, and a D in Microeconomics for my spring semester. I got accepted as an Economics major. I had family issues throughout the semester and told them about it. When I checked my UCR account last week, my admission had been rescinded. I got a letter in the mail today saying that I am no longer eligible for admission to UCR because I didn't meet their requirements.</p>

<p>The letter stated, "Your Provisions of Admission required you to complete your final courses at a high level of achievement in order for you to maintain academic eligibility to the University of California, Riverside (UCR). Your last term of attendance (Spring 2012) is below a 2.0 gpa." </p>

<p>This is confusing because my grades of A,D,D equate to a gpa of 2.0 which is not below the 2.0 gpa that is required. My community college states that my gpa for the spring semester is 2.0. I was wondering if I had a chance of arguing this. I didn't meet the requirements stated online, but I fulfilled the requirements stated in the letter I received. They say that my gpa was below 2.0 when it was exactly at 2.0. Can I get opinions on this matter? Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Did your cumulative GPA dip below a 3.0? That’s a borderline applicant and could be the reason why. There are a variety of reasons you could’ve had your admission rescinded. </p>

<p>1) Your failed two major preparation courses. No decent college would accept someone into a major they are not prepared for.
2) My understanding was that when they said you needed a 2.0, you needed a C average in each course. D’s won’t transfer, C’s will. </p>

<p>Suggestion: Retake the courses and apply again.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply. Yes, my cumulative gpa is still at a 3.1 after the semester.</p>
