@Gumbymom Thank you. The CC courses are listed in the college section, but they allow you to assign an A-G designation to each of them. Assigning that A-G designation throws them into the CSU GPA calculation. Even without those marked as A-Gs, his GPA is still less than 4.4.
Thank you for the info regarding HS course rigor being noted - I will let my son know!
@RichInPitt adding to the divisor is exactly what I think is happening! My son is panicked because he now feels like he’s being punished for doing so well and taking more class than he needed to! His strong record has to be taken into consideration somewhere, but seeing that GPA calculate less than 4.4 was really shocking!
@teleia lol at kids being master GPA managers - I can totally see that happening! My poor kid (and his friends) obviously had no experience with that, but if they had to do it again, but might end up master GPA managers too!
