@Jimmytoro: To clarify about Senior year grades and provisional admission. BTW this is posted in a CSU thread but I will address what a provisional admission means so hopefully other posters will glean some information.
For the UC’s with the exception of UCB/UCLA, you need to maintain a 3.0 Unweighted GPA with No D’s or F’s in any Senior year a-g courses regardless if you have met the a-g course requirements.
For UCLA/UCB, you need to maintain a 3.0 Unweighted GPA with No D’s or F’s.
Here is what you need to do if you get a D or F. Notifying the UC’s early will give you time to possibly retake the course on-line or at another school or they wait until your final grade at the end of the year to determine your fate
Below is a link for each UC website and instructions on how to contact admissions: If there are changes to your academic record:
If you change schools, add or drop a course, or fail to earn a C or better in a course after you submit your application, you must notify the campuses you’ve applied to (all campuses except UC Berkeley). If you receive an offer of admission, be sure to confirm with the campus admission office that they are aware of the deficient grade or schedule changes.
Keep in mind: We cannot guarantee that a campus can go back to review an application after correspondence has been received. Make sure to save a copy of your correspondence just in case.
For CSU’s, you need to pass all a-g courses with a C- or higher to maintain your provisional admission. Some schools are more lenient than others so you would need to contact them individually to determine your course of action.
