<p>I have one F (retaking this semester/don’t kill me) and it’s technically worth 0 units on my transcript, but the class itself was worth 3 units. If I put 0 into the units section, my GPA goes up by nearly .2 points. That just doesn’t seem right to me so I was wondering if we’re supposed to input the units earned or the units it was worth originally. </p>
<p>Make sure you’re also adding in 0 grade points in the app. </p>
<p>Are you self adding the class, or is it listed for you?</p>
<p>I failed a class and then put in the re-take and only the re-take units counted</p>
<p>It’s a listed class. I’m retaking it, but it’s still in progress so the grade hasn’t been replaced yet. </p>
<p>You have to list the class with the F for the appropriate semester. You also list it as IP for the current semester. Once you do the grade update in January, then you change the F to AR ( academically renewed), and update the IP with the grade you receive. So the course will be listed 2Xs</p>
<p>You will be updating your TAU in January so the new class will replace the old one. </p>
<p>If you add it now and put in F it should self-populate the units. If not, I wouldn’t monkey with it and just wait until TAU.
Perhaps note in comments the retake is IP.</p>
<p>You always list a retaken class multiple times. The first grade gets replaced, but you list it for each semester that you took it. </p>
<p>Just to be clear I wasn’t saying not to list class but not to monkey around with changing anything that auto-populates. I’m not sure if that above was about that or something else.

<p>@lindyk8
It may have just been the way you worded it. You said the new class would replace the old one. But technically the class stays and the grade gets replaced with the new grade. That’s probably what you meant, but I just read it the other way. :-)</p>
<p>Ok</p>
<p>I was just confused as to how to enter the units for the F grade, but I’m going to do what Lindy said and just leave the F grade as 3 units. </p>
<p>Pretty much unrelated: I feel conflicted about TAGing with the major I want (biopsychology). My CCC is very rural and has no physics/chemistry/calculus classes which made it impossible for me to complete the majority of the pre-reqs for that major. I’m TAGing to UCSB and I’m wondering if they could deny it since I didn’t take them even though it was impossible to. 
</p>
<p>(And don’t worry Lindy. I know what you meant :).)</p>
<p>Is there another major somewhat related that you could TAG that has major req completed as per contract? NOTE: UCSB is a bit of a stickler about every minor thing. </p>
<p>Is bio psychology impacted? If not you could perhaps get into something similar and then petition to switch majors.</p>
<p>Another side note: a UCLA English advisor indicated you could get into Amer Lit (non-impacted) and then later switch to impacted English major. This appears to be at odds with UCLA stated policy. However just yesterday someone mentioned in Econ dept at UCLA they also said students could switch to Biz Econ (impacted), again, against stated policy. The point being switching within the same dept seems pretty doable (although I cannot verify as this is anecdotal).</p>
<p>Is there another psych major that is easier to get in to? Or just another major? That’s the point of this long-winded post. </p>
<p>You have to meet the TAG requirements 100% for it to be accepted. You may still get in as a regular applicant, but your TAG will be denied. Also, make sure your TAG major, matches the major you out in the regular app. If it doesn’t match, your TAG will likely be voided.</p>
<p>All Psychology BA pre-reqs are going to be done for UCLA/UCB. That being said, I can’t imagine what I would do with a BA. I wouldn’t be able to (try to) go to med school unless it’s possible to complete med school pre reqs in 2 years. I want to be a psychiatrist so that’s why I have the psychology interest.</p>
<p>The UCSB TAG requirements don’t say anything about completing all major prep unless the major falls under the biology/engineering department. The biopsychology major is in the Social Sciences department. </p>
<p>I’m conflicted. :/</p>
<p>If your CCC does not have an articulated course needed to fulfill a major requirement you can still TAG, but if accepted, obviously you will need to do them at the UC.</p>
<p>The main thing about UCSB is they seem to find more things to gripe about in general, so you really need to contact UCSB via email, and get verification on stuff, and read the fine-print super-carefully. </p>
<p>Missing a lot of pre-reqs puts you at a disadvantage. But since your CCC does not offer them and it’s not a TAG req if not articulated, it should, in theory, be OK. </p>
<p>FYI, UCD is much more flexible in general, has been my experience. They clearly state TAG ppl might not get math series completed etc and can do them at UCD. UCSB is just more secretive in general (that might not be the right word).</p>
<p>If money is not an issue for you, consider a post baccalaureate to complete premed requirements. </p>
<p>@oongaboonga so you mean B.A. Psych? </p>
<p>I wanted to TAG to Davis, but their Biopsychology is considered a Biology major and it’s an absolute requirement to have the prep done in order to TAG. None are articulated at my CCC. (Boooo.)</p>
<p>I wouldn’t mind finding a way to go that route @oongaboonga. I read that Davis has a pre-med track for anyone, but if you’re a transfer and haven’t done the physics sequence there might be issues. I’m sure they would work with me though maybe? </p>
<p>I’m thinking I should listen to the voices of reason and do Psych BA. </p>
<p>I just want to add one thing to my above comment as this is a rowdy micro-analyzing bunch. 
</p>
<p>Some majors, like Engineering, may have more stringent admit requirements in general (I think only UCSC has Engineering still in TAG?) so I am not totally sure how non-articulation and TAG play out. But the general TAG rules allow missing classes that are non-articulated. Just to be clear on my end. ;)</p>
<p>Interesting @Bunessa because I thought I just saw a UCD page on TAG and biology a few days ago that said math sequence could be completed at UCS. Let me look for it.</p>
