<p>I’m graduating next spring but i might take summer courses at my college. will these summer courses be factored in if i apply next fall?</p>
<p>No, only grades up until your first bachelors will be factored. If you graduate in the spring, then take a summer course, it is not going to change your LSAC gpa.</p>
<p>what if i walk thru the commencement in the spring but my school gives out the diploma after i finish my summer courses. the summer courses will probably be my major courses and even tho i dont take all of them by spring i think the school will let me walk thru the commencement ceremony</p>
<p>That is a pretty big might. Many school will not let you walk in commencement if you are not getting a degree. If you do this you would be considered an august graduate and allowed to participate in the next graduation (or at least you would be listed as an August 2010 graduate).</p>
<p>I asked the school and they said walking in commencement and putting my name on degree list are separate. By the way i go to CAL. So if i walk in May and put my name on the degree list for summer will my summer grades be factored in?</p>
<p>LSAC counts all grades up until when you are considered to have received your diploma as an undergraduate, whether you physically have or not.</p>
<p>so that means they will count my summer grades too?</p>
<p>If you will not graduate until after you have taken those summer courses, then those summer course grades will count in the LSAC calculation.</p>
