Can You Use College Classes You Took In High School for IGETC and such?

Yea, what the post said?

Bumpidy-bump-bump. I'd like to use a History class I took in summer school after junior year in h.s. to makeup a C.

Was it an AP class? Or did you take the class at a community college while you were in high school?

I'm not trying to be a thread jacker so would either work?

I took the class at a community college while I was in high school

Yes, it does not matter when you took the community college class, it will always count.

And in response to cooldude6, the AP units cannot override a poor grade, they can only add units (which may be used to fulfill IGETC), which are unrelated to your GPA.

can the credit you get from an ap push your total number of units over the max?

If you are attending a CCC you can have as many units as you so choose so it wouldn't be a problem. But, for 4-years, I am not entirely sure.

yeah, AP/IB tests can only work for you and do not count against you if you theoretically have more than the maximum amount of credits at all UCs. Check out page 40 and it tells you all you need to know about APs and transferring: http://www.universityofcalifornia.ed...terials/QR.pdf
