If you do as well as you expect this semester, then talk with your advisor about academic renewal. I don’t know how policies vary among CCC’s, but here’s one example: http://catalog.sjcc.edu/college-district-policies/academic-renewal/

Based on that example policy… if you do get A’s and B’s this semester, it should be possible for you to satisfy the criterion of averaging a 2.0 or above for the year. In that case you would be able to get 24 credits of F or D grades earned prior to this year wiped from your GPA. This would substantially improve your cumulative GPA, especially if you can plan out which courses to “renew” and which to repeat, and get rid of the majority of your D’s and F’s.

So, look into the academic renewal policy at your CC, speak with your advisor, and do everything you can to keep your grades up this semester!

Also find out which CSU’s are considered “local” to your CC. Local applicants get an automatic GPA bump - for example, SJSU gave local applicants an extra 0.25 this year, I believe. So if there’s a local CSU that also isn’t impacted for your major, that could be a help as well.

What is your major? Are you doing an AA-T program that would give you a transfer guarantee?

Do you know why you’ve had such difficulty in some of your classes? Is it possible that you have some un-diagnosed issue (a learning disability like dyslexia for example)…? Or do you feel like there were other problems getting in your way, which you’ve now solved or learned to work around? Make sure you take advantage of all the resources available to you, to get the help and support you need.

It’s not too late to turn this around, if you’re really able to do something differently going forward, and if you have clear and achievable goals. Good luck!!
