Repeating a D grade 4 year colleges and universities do not accept "D" grades. In most cases, you will need to repeat any A-G class in which you earned a grade of "D" or "F". If you cannot fit a repeat class into your trimester program, you should see your Counselor to inquire about summer school. | What exactly is a College Elective? Category G, in the A-G requirements, is listed as "College Elective". A College Elective can be a specific class like Psychology or Sociology, or it is a course that exceeds the minimum amount of coursework in a certain subject area. For example, if 3 years of math are required, a 4th year of math can count as the College Elective (G). | ACT or SAT ? In this time of Covid, many colleges and Universities including University of CA and Cal State University systems will not use SAT or ACT scores for admissions decisions. Check each college/university website for their policies. For more info on SAT or ACT Visit College Entrance Exams and You! |
