8/25 Does anyone know if retaking a course you got a D or F in should result
in getting both grades counted in your GPA or just the latter grade?
I intentionally failed a class a few years back and retook it, but
just now realized that I got an RD and both were included in my GPA,
bringing it down quite a bit...
\_ I got an F, re-took the course, and the new A grade took precedence.
The F is still on my transcript, although not counted in the GPA.
BTW, what is an RD grade?
http://csua.org/u/d5r (UC)
\_ i think you can do this for up to 16 units. then it gets averaged
into your GPA..
\_ Yes, it's something like this. It's still on the
transcript, however.
\_ here's a link, it says only 12 units
http://academic-senate.berkeley.edu/resources/regs_part1.html
\_ thanks much! i guess i have to go through registrar hell.
\_ RD = "Original D grade; units attempted, units passed and grade
points counted"
\_ http://registrar.berkeley.edu/Records/courserep.html
Is orreg@uclink the best email to use to contact the registrar to
get my GPA fixed? Anyone have any experience with this? |

| csua.org/u/d5r -> www.universityofcalifornia.edu/educators/counselors/adminfo/transfer/advising/answers/preparing.html#4 In a plus and minus grading system, would a "C-" grade in math or English clear eligibility requirements for UC admission? Would a "C-" grade in statistics clear the math requirement for UC transfer eligibility? Is foreign coursework considered as part of a student's IGETC cer tification? When must a student complete the math and English courses required to be eligible for admission to the University? All campuses require that students complete English composition and math by the end of the spring term prior to their planned enrollment in the fall. This helps avoid a situation in which a students admission is c anceled because a course was not completed during the summer. Students should be encouraged to complete English and math as early as possible in their college careers, given the importance of these courses in shap ing a students overall academic performance at both community college and the University. May students complete required coursework the summer before fall enrollment? Universitywide Though some campuses do accept coursework completed the summer before fa ll enrollment, students should be encouraged to complete required cours ework earlier. It is not unusual for a student to wait until the summer term to complete units and then be unable to complete those units or t o enroll in and complete an appropriate class thereby jeopardizing UC admission. UCB In general, UC Berkeley does not accept units completed the summer befor e fall enrollment. Currently, only the College of Natural Resources doe s soand that policy may change for fall 2006 applicants. UCD Units completed the summer before fall enrollment are not accepted for t he following courses: those required to meet minimum UC eligibility in English or math; and those needed to reach a total of 60 transferable semester (90 quarter) units. However, units completed the summer before fall enrollment may be used t o complete the IGETC course pattern. UCI Units completed the summer before fall enrollment are not accepted if ne eded to meet minimum UC eligibility in English or math. However, those needed to reach a total of 60 transferable semester (90 quarter) units will be accepted. UCI recommends early completion of prerequisite courses required for sel ective majors. However, if specified in the student's Transfer Contract , some coursework for selective majors (eg, Engineering, Information and Computer Science, Biological Sciences) may be taken in the precedin g summer. UCLA All required coursework is to be completed by the end of spring before f all admission. UCM Units completed the summer before fall enrollment are not accepted if ne eded to meet minimum UC eligibility. However, those needed to meet majo r preparation, IGETC or campus general education requirements will be a ccepted. Any summer courses taken must end before Merceds first day of fall clas ses, in late August. UCM Admissions Office before enrolling in summer session classes. UCR All required coursework is to be completed by the end of spring before f all admission. UCSD Units completed the summer before fall enrollment are not accepted if ne eded to meet minimum UC eligibility. However, those needed to meet majo r preparation, IGETC or campus general education requirements will be a ccepted. UCSB Units completed the summer before fall enrollment are not accepted if ne eded to meet minimum UC eligibility. However, those needed to meet majo r preparation, IGETC or campus general education requirements will be a ccepted. UCSC Units completed the summer before fall enrollment may not be used to sat isfy the course pattern requirements for eligibility and selection. How ever, those needed to meet major preparation, IGETC or campus general e ducation requirements may be accepted. top Does the University award credit for Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) examinations? AP: The University grants credit for all College Board AP examinations o n which the student scores a 3 or higher. IB: The University grants 8 quarter (5 1/3 semester) units credit for ea ch designated IB examination on which the student scores 5 or higher. T he University grants 30 quarter (20 semester) units for an IB diploma w ith a score of 30 or higher. IB and AP scores may also satisfy subject credit, graduation credit or c redit toward general education breadth requirements. Each UC campus det ermines exactly how IB and AP credit will be used on that campus. The U niversity may not necessarily recognize course credit from other instit utions based on AP. To receive credit, students must send test score tr anscripts to the University. top What is the University's policy on repeating courses? A student may repeat a course in which he or she received a letter grade of "D" or "F." Only the most recent grade is counted when calculating th e GPA; Repetition of a course with an original grade of "C" or better is disregarded; the origi nal grade is counted when calculating the GPA. UC does not limit the number of times a student may repeat a course in wh ich he or she earned a "D" or "F." A student may not retake a course at a community college to raise the grade received at a UC campus. UC cours es in which a "D" or "F" was received may be repeated only during a regu lar session (including summer sessions) at a UC campus. top When does UC take into consideration plus and minus grades appearing on a California community college transcript? The University uses the grading system of the college in computing the G PA of the student for admissions purposes. In a plus and minus grading system, would a "C-" grade in math or English clear eligibility requirements for UC admission? Would a "C-" in statistics clear the math requirement for UC transfer eligibility? A "C-" (grade points computed at less than 20) will NOT clear ANY subje ct requirement, including mathematics requirements, for UC transfer eli gibility (or for IGETC). Does the University require a language other than English for transfer admission? The University does not require completion of a language other than Engl ish to fulfill the minimum requirements for transfer admission. However , specific colleges or departments at UC campuses may require a languag e other than English as part of their breadth or major requirements. St udents completing IGETC must complete study of a language other than En glish. top How can students clear the American History and Institutions requirement? UCB Most students coming directly to UC Berkeley from high school will autom atically clear this requirement by completing the "a" requirement for f reshman admission: a year of American history, or a semester of America n history and a semester of American government, with a grade of "C" or better (or comparable work through AP examinations or test scores). Students who did not satisfy the requirement in high school are advised to take one transferable course in either American history or American political institutions before enrolling at UC Berkeley. Once admitted, students who have not yet satisfied this requirement must take appropri ate Berkeley coursework (generally two courses) in order to graduate. UCD Students may fulfill this requirement in one of the following ways: Complete a one-year high school course in American history, or one semes ter of American history and one of civics or American government, with a grade of "C" or better in each course. UC Davis General Cat alog lists the courses that will clear this requirement. Present evidence that the requirement has been accepted as satisfied at another UC campus. Pass a transferable college course in American history or American gover nment. Present a score of 3 or higher on an AP examination in US history. UCI Students may fulfill this requirement in one of the following ways: Complete a one-year high school course in American history, or one semes ter of American history and one of civics or American government, with a grade of C" or better in each course. Complete at UC Irvine or another US institution one year of college-le vel US history with grades of "C" or better, or one course in US hi story and one in US governm... |
| academic-senate.berkeley.edu/resources/regs_part1.html Grades A, B, C, and D may be modified by Plus or Minus suffixes. Credit toward Degree Requirements Undergraduates + A course in which the grade A, B, C, D, or P is received is counted toward degree requirements. C Grade Changes + All grades except I and IP are considered final when submitted by an instructor on the end-of-term course report. D Course Repetitions Repetition of courses not authorized by the Committee on Courses of Instruction to be taken more than once for credit is subject to the following conditions: 1 A student may repeat only those courses in which the student received a grade of D+, D, D-, F, NP, or U, except as provided in SR 636, and an I may be repeated subject to Regulation A202. Without this approval, a course repeated more than once will not be included in the grade-point average, but a passing grade in the repeated course will be accepted in satisfaction of unit requirements for the degree, subject to section D3 below. E Unit Conversion + Unit credit earned by students on any campus of the University of California while that campus is on a quarter calendar will be equivalent to credit earned on the Berkeley Campus as follows: + Each quarter unit is equivalent to two-thirds of a semester unit. REPLACEMENT OF I GRADES A Procedures 1 Graduate Students For graduate students, the method of replacement of the grade I by a fin al grade will be determined by the Dean of the Graduate Division and th e Graduate Council. These grades may be modified by plus or minus in accordance with Regulation A201B b On repetition of the course, grade points will be granted only with the approval of the Dean of the student's College, School, or Division. If the course is repeated without approval by the Dean, the I grade will be converted to a Grade of F and the repeated course will be treated as per Regulation A201D B Deadline for Replacing I Grades + Except as noted below in sections B1 and B2, grades received by undergraduates may be replaced only during the following periods: Session in which the I Grade is received: Deadline for replacement of the I Grade: + Any I grade which has not been replaced by the deadline will be converted by the Office of Registrar to the grade F (or NP if the course was taken Passed or Not Passed). Thenceforward, but not retroactively, the grade, if F, is counted in computing the student's grade-point average in the same manner as any other assigned F Fall Semester Spring Semester or Summer Session First day of instruction in followin g Fall Semester First day of instruction in following Spring Semester + The Dean of the student's College, School, or Division will have discretionary authority to extend these deadlines. The Dean will forward such notification to the Office of the Registrar and that Office will not replace the grade I by an F or NP. This notification procedure is limited to no more than two courses and the decision is irrevocable. However, the student still has the option to remove the I grade within the above deadlines. D Specification will be made in the form of a written statement to the Department Chair and as a comment on the course report form submitted to the Registrar at the end of each term. E I Grade Limits Graduate Students A graduate student with an I grade on his or her graduate record at Berkeley may proceed toward a degree only at the discretion of the Dean of the Graduate Division. Undergraduate Students Any undergraduate student with 12 or more units of I on his or her record may not register unless permission to do so is granted by the Dean of the College, School, or Division in which the student is enrolled. IN PROGRESS GRADES (IP) * For a course extending for more than one term, where evaluation of th e student's performance is deferred until the end of the final term, provisional grades of IP (In Progress) are assigned in the intervening terms. In the event that the full sequence is not completed as scheduled, the Registrar shall replace the grade IP by the grade I when the instructor has no basis for assigning a grade for the term completed. Further changes in the student's record will be subject to the conditions of Regulation A202. PASSED/NOT PASSED, SATISFACTORY/UNSATISFACTORY GRADES Subject to the following limitations and to any additional regulations wh ich may be adopted by the Faculties of the various Schools and Colleges and the Graduate Council: * Undergraduates in good academic standing may elect to undertake lette r-graded courses on a Passed or Not Passed basis; and * Graduate students in good academic standing may elect to undertake le tter-graded courses on a Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory basis. A Students enrolled in degree programs may receive credit for courses g raded Passed or Satisfactory to a limit of one-third of the total units undertaken and passed on the Berkeley Campus at the time the degree is awarded. B Courses which are required in, or are prerequisite to, the student's major may be taken Passed or Not Passed or Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory only upon approval of the Faculty of the students School or College, + Courses which are required in a graduate student's major subject are determined by the students adviser. C Special or limited-status students may take courses on a Passed or No t Passed basis at the discretion of the Dean of the School or College in which they are enrolled. D Further exception to this Regulation may be made only with the approv al of the Committee on Courses of Instruction of the Berkeley Division and, where graduate students are concerned, the Graduate Council. COURSE GRADED PASSED/NOT PASSED OR SATISFACTORY/UNSATISFACTORY Departments may offer, subject to limitations in sections A and B below : * Undergraduate courses which are to be added exclusively Passed or Not Passed; A An instructor may be in charge of no more than one such undergraduate course in any term, exclusive of individual study or research courses, except with the consent of the Dean of the School or College in which the course is offered. B Students enrolling in such courses are subject to limitations specifi ed in Regulation A204. GRADE APPEALS A Appeal Process + This Regulation covers grievances by students originating in units of instruction and concerning grades. After reviewing the case, the Committee on Courses of Instruction may instruct the Office of the Registrar to make the required change in the student's record. When no such association exists, students shall be appointed by the ASUC or the Graduate Assembly. B Students in dismissed status must obtain Deans approval prior to enro lling in XB courses in order to receive grade points toward graduation in their College for those courses. For dismissed students, grade point s shall be counted toward graduation only upon successful readmission to their College. XB courses shall be accepted for unit, requirement, and grade-point cre dit for only a student who: 1) has been admitted to and is a regularly m atriculated student on the Berkeley campus, or 2) has taken XB courses through the Fall Program for Freshmen and subsequently admitted to a de gree program or college at Berkeley. Such study will receive faculty advice on topics or methods of study. The number 99 is reserved for Supervised Independent Study by academically superior lower-division students, who are to be defined by each department, or equivalent. This definition includes, as a necessary part, a grade-point average of at least 33 (Eff. The number 199 is reserved for Supervised Independent Study by undergraduates. Course number 602 is reserved for Individual Study for Doctoral students. These courses must be taken on a Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory basis. Units earned in these courses may not be used to meet academic residence or unit requirements for the Master or Doctor's Degree. DISMISSAL * It is the responsibility of each College or School to establish regul ations governing dismissal.

| registrar.berkeley.edu/Records/courserep.html You may repeat only courses in which you received a grade of D+, D, D- F, NP or U You may repeat an I grade subject to limitations listed below. Courses in which you received a grade of D+, D, D-, or F and courses th at you undertook for a letter grade but for which you received a grade o f I may not be repeated on a passed/not passed basis. Repetition of a co urse more than once requires approval by the dean of the college, school or division in which you are enrolled at the time you repeat the course . Without this approval, a course repeated more than once will not be in cluded in the grade point average, but a passing grade in the repeated c ourse will be accepted in satisfaction of unit requirements for the degr ee. Degree credit for a repeated course will be given only once, but the grade assigned at each enrollment is permanently recorded. If you repea t courses in which you received a D+, D, D-, or F, the units are counted only once and only the most recently earned grades and grade points are used for the first 12 units repeated. In case of further repetitions, t he grade-point average is based on all grades assigned and total units a ttempted. If, however, you receive a grade of I, upon repetition of the course, the grade of D+, D, D-, or F will continue to be counted in the grade-point average until the I is replaced. If you repeat an I in a let ter-graded course the I will lapse to an F unless you have permission of the dean of your college or school to retain the I grade for a longer p eriod. |
