Question about impact of College-level English class on A-G reqts

[ucbalumnus]

If the English course is at a community college, you can look it up at University of California A-G Course List

For the purpose of fulfilling a-g requirements, Subject requirement (A-G) | UC Admissions says that a college English course of 3 semester or 4 quarter units satisfies one high school year of the English requirement. For frosh applicants, non-transferable courses can count only for the 9th-11th grade years; courses used to satisfy the 12th grade year must be transferable.

@University of California

College courses

For each year required through the 11th grade, a grade of C or better in a non-transferable college course of 3 or more semester (4 or more quarter) units in English composition, literature (American or English) or foreign literature in translation. Courses used to satisfy the fourth year and/or the entire requirement must be transferable. For lower-division transfer, all courses must be transferable. Literature courses must include substantial work in composition.

The 1 college course and grade = 1 course and grade for UC or 2 courses and grades for CSU is for recalculating high school GPA for frosh applicants.
