UC Math Validation for Deficiency in Geometry [no longer allowed for deficient grade in 2025-2026]

I have a rising Junior in HS and she had a D in Geometry (2nd Semester Sophomore year). She is interested in UC schools. I read the attached to say that at this point in time, no other subsequent math courses can validate a deficiency in Geometry (not even Pre-Calc). See pages 21 and 22.

Yes, it looks like beginning 2025-2026 (page 21), either omission or deficient (D/F) grade in geometry cannot be validated by a more advanced course. This is a change from 2024-2025 (page 20), where a deficient grade (but not omission) of geometry can be validated by precalculus, calculus, or other advanced math.
