UC elc

The Eligibility in the Local Context means that your child, when applying to UCs, is guaranteed a spot in a UC that has room if he or she does not get into any other UC. Right now, that school is Merced.

The ELC determines which of your child’s A-G courses taken in 10th and 11th grades, meets the requirements.

To be considered for ELC, you must have a minimum GPA of 3.0 and complete the following “a-g” courses prior to your senior year:

History
1 year
English
2 years
Mathematics
2 years
Laboratory science
1 year
Language other than English
1 year
Other “a-g” courses
(chosen from the subjects listed above or another course approved by the university)
4 years
After you enter your coursework and grades in the UC application, we’ll compare your GPA to the historic top GPA for your school. If you meet or exceed that GPA, you’ll be designated ELC and we’ll add a note to your application.

If your child was missing any A-G courses before senior year, and/or had a smaller number of students in her class, then she might not be “ELC eligible”.

ELC just basically means she can go to Merced.
