no, all transferable courses transfer.

If it is an art course like pottery or something, in most cases they do not transfer to UC anyways, art that transfers is like art history type of stuff usually.

to notsogood: your community college should have a piece of paper that lets you know which classes are transferable to UC.

to jfk: community classes that you take during high school will count towards your high school gpa. if its a UC transferable class, the credit will transfer to the UC but not the grade. it would also factor into your CC gpa if you plan on going. but CC grades never transfer to UC only the credit.

jerome1m: i think theyll only care about your UC gpa.

So the second UC that I plan on transferring to will only look at my UC GPA from my previous UC?(the gpa that doesn't include cc classes) Isn't this contrary to what Malishka is saying?

"the actual GPA of your application will be 3.8-3.9 , because that is the gpa of all TRANSFERABLE courses."- Malishka

I took art history and macro eco while i attended high school. I will be attending a UC campus and majoring in biochem and hopefully transfer to another UC campus. Well, would they count these 2 courses in my transfer GPA? (they are both "Transferable courses") They aren't related to my major in any way and i don't want them to be in my GPA, but at the same time i want to take english 101 this summer so i can transfer the credits. Is there any way to transfer only my english credits and NOT my art and eco credits?

no, CC classes won't count in your UC gpa at all, just the credit.

i think malishka is right...

Malishka31

CC classes do not count in your GPA- but what that means is that when you attend your UC the gpa starts over......... whenever you change institutions GPA does not follow you around from institution to institution.

From high school to community college for example- it is not as if your high school GPA counts in community college and you just keep adding on your new grades to your current gpa- no you do not, you start from 0 and build your gpa in that new school.

The only reason the OPs gpa will follow him around is because he plans on going from one UC to another, they share the gpa because they are in the same system. It is easy for them to accept a gpa of another UC and your new courses will build on your gpa.

However, when you APPLY, we are talking about just come application time, ALL OF YOUR UNDERGRADUATE TRANSFERABLE COURSEWORK will be considered in your GPA, regardless of where it comes from ,CC, UC, CSU< whatever is undergraduate work that transfers to the UC will be the GPA come time of application. Once you enter the UC your gpa will be the gpa of your previous UC courses and any future UC courses. But once again, when you apply your GPA will be your gpa in all undergraduate work. And when you apply to graduate schools your gpa will be your gpa for all undergraduate work.


And No, you can not just transfer over only a portion of a transcript, everything that is transferable transfers. (unless you get an F in it, in which case it lowers your overall GPA but does not transfer b/c you need a C- or higher for a course to actually transfer with credit)

jerome1m

what if the class is taken at a cc for high school credit only, for example a class to make up a grade in hs? Will the gpa transfer then?

Malishka31

if it is a transferable class and you took it for credit at your CC it is on your CC transcript, it doesnt go anywhere.

The only way i could see it being not calculated into your overall undergraduate GPA is if it was some special program where you went to the CC but didnt really register there - like some special cross registration program with your high school for some random courses.

If you just went during high school, registered as a student, took a course, the course is UC transferable, the course is on your transcript, the course is forever part of your undergraduate GPA.
