College Info/Plan
The Scholarship Requirement defines the Grade Point Average students must attain in the required subjects to be eligible for admission. In Calculating a GPA for admission, the University will use only the grades earned in the required courses taken in grades 10-11. These grades are counted as follows: A=4; B=3; C=2. Honors pt - Procedure book.
- You must earn a grade of “C” or better in all high school courses of history/social science, English, mathematics, laboratory sciences, and world languages. The grades earned in these courses that are taken in grades 10-11 are used to compute the GPA for admission.
- Courses taken in the ninth grade and completed with a “C” or better can satisfy a subject requirement, but will not count in the GPA. High school level courses taken before grade nine can satisfy UC course preparation, but will not earn high school unit credit for graduation.
- SAT I or ACT and 2 SAT II Subject Area Tests
- A “C” average in the required courses in grades 10-11. Ninth grade courses satisfy subject requirements, if grade of “C”or better is earned. See counselor for eligibility index.
