A-G Eligibility

What is A-G eligibility?

• CSU and UC schools calculate A-G GPA from courses taken in 10th and 11th grades.
• UC/CSU’s offer GPA Bumps from taking Honors or AP classes *SJUSD does not weight GPA.
• You need to get a C- or better in your A-G coursework.
• D’s and F’s disqualify you from being A-G eligible

*Some courses can be validated by earning a C- or better second semester after getting off A-G track

Graduation vs. CSU/UC (A-G) Requirements

Sample Transcript: Credit Summary

1) Look at the credits remaining section (third column) in the Credit Summary section of your transcript.

​

2) Cross off any credits that you will earn this school year (junior year).

​

For example, juniors who are currently taking U.S History will earn 5 credits of U.S History each semester. So, going into senior year that requirement will be met.

All Seniors must be enrolled in at least 5 classes!
