Miscellaneous Crazy Questions</p>
<p>UC -> CC -> different UC - You may complete IGETC and satisfy the ELWR with a CCC English course. </p>
<p>UC -> CC -> same UC - You CANNOT use IGETC for returning to your UC and you CANNOT use a CCC English course to satisfy ELWR. You must work with your UC campus to come up with an academic plan that will ensure your readmission.</p>
<p>UC Academic Dismissal - You are not eligible to transfer to ANY UC campus if you were previously dismissed from an UC campus due to unsatisfactory academic performance. You must work with your UC campus to come up with a plan to remove the academic dismissal before you can transfer to another UC campus.</p>
<p>Course Repeat Policy</p>
<p>The UCs will only count the most recent grade for any repeated courses (you can only repeat courses in which you have received a D, F, or NP; please note exception in the next bullet point). Here are some examples:</p>
<p>Let’s say you got an F, repeated the course and got a D, then repeated it again and got an F, the last F is what will be calculated into your GPA because it is the most recent. The other D and F will be excluded because you have “repeated” the course.</p>
<p>The policy gets turned upside down when it comes to P/NP courses. So let’s say you took a course for P/NP and received a NP, then repeated the course for a grade and received an F, then repeated the course again for P/NP and received a NP, the F gets calculated into your GPA because it is a letter grade (P/NP grades are excluded from GPA calculation).</p>
<p>If your community college uses the +/- designations (on your transcript, you see +/- as part of the grades and there is an explanation for what the +/- stand for in the legend), then you should repeat courses in which you received a C- or lower (because you need at least a C to pass). It’s unclear to me whether the C- must also carry a grade point of less than 2.0 for this rule to be effective (I assume any community colleges that bother with the +/- designations must also differentiate the grade points based on those designations, but I don’t know that for a fact).</p>
<p>For any courses in which you received a D- or better, you will receive unit credit for the course but not the subject credit. That means you may count those units toward your 60 semester/90 quarter unit requirements, but the courses will not count toward satisfying any course requirements.</p>
<p>For UC Students - If you receive a grade between C- and D- in a course at your UC campus, you CANNOT repeat the course at CCC because units were granted at your UC; you must repeat the course at your UC to improve your GPA. If you received an F in a course at your UC campus, you may repeat the course at CCC because you did not receive any units; however, your GPA will not improve (the F will still be calculated into your GPA) even though you will receive subject credit (for satisfying course requirements) for the CCC course.</p>
<p>Courses with Unit Limitations - For any courses that have unit limitations (like PE or ESL), the UCs will count the best grades you receive within the course group. Example: UCs will count a maximum of 4 semester units of PE courses and let’s say you have 6 units in PE with 3 units worth of As, 2 units worth of Bs, and 1 unit worth of Cs; the UCs will count 3 units of As and 1 unit of Bs for your GPA calculation.</p>
<p>Empty Transcript - If you were accepted and enrolled at a college but left before any coursework was completed (no withdrawals or coursework, just an empty transcript with nothing on it), put an explanation in the “gap in education” field on the UC application. Do not enter the college on your TAG application because the TAG system will not let you move forward (for every college you enter, you must have corresponding coursework entered as well).</p>
<p>Who are CCC Students - The UCs actually don’t have an agreed-upon definition of CCC students. For the purpose of admission evaluation (and to give preference to CCC transfers), most UCs grant priority to students who are enrolled in CCC for 2 consecutive “regular” terms (typically Fall and Spring) completing at least 30 semester units.
