Middle school grades (Algebra1, Geo, Spanish1) for Cal Poly application

Neither the UCs nor SLO use those grades in their GPA calculation. SLO uses 9-11 and UCs use 10-11. The junior high courses are used to evaluate rigor and total number of semesters per subject.

We look at the college-prep coursework you have taken during high school, including the courses you have in progress or planned during 12th grade. Our selection process is based on your self-reported information. Please do not send us official transcripts unless we request them.

For the purposes of your application, we’ll consider your 9th-11th grade weighted GPA. That number is calculated from college-prep coursework as designated on your application. Weight is granted for courses designated as “honors,” “college-level,” “advanced placement” or “international baccalaureate” for up to eight semesters.
