To receive “A-G” credit, a high school course must be certified through the CSU/UC course approval process. To be considered for admission to a UC or CSU, high school students must take a minimum of 15 UC approved college preparatory classes. Students must earn a minimum of a “C” grade in the A-G courses in order for the course to count towards meeting the requirement.

To be eligible for admission to a University of California campus, students must also earn a grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or better in these courses.

*A grade of ‘D’ will earn a student credit toward high school graduation, but NOT toward the A-G requirements.
