Mid Year Reports: I’m getting messages that I have to send a mid-year report (7th semester transcripts), what do I do? The college counselor will upload your mid year reports automatically through the Common Application and SENDedu when the second semester class rank and GPA are available about the end of January. You will not have to send in a form. If you did not use these sites, check your CSU portals. If you receive a message from a CSU asking for transcripts, complete a Mid Year Transcript request form and return to college counselor. See the Transcript page for the form. DO NOT SEND TRANSCRIPTS UNLESS A COLLEGE IS REQUESTING IT. I’m dropping a class but I already reported it to the colleges, what do I do? I failed a class, do I have to report it? Colleges want to know the changes you have made after you submitted your applications, including information about a D or an F grade. You need to submit that information to the colleges, usually by email or mail. Each school may have different methods so check their website or contact admissions first and ask how they would like that information.

Some campuses will “cap” the number of AP classes at 8 per semester. UC (Weighted) GPA-The UC Transcript shows a GPA at the bottom that weights all AP grades and some Honors grades. Classes in which the student received a D or F, but has made up the class will show both the original and made up grade. CSU GPA- AP and some Honors classes are weighted. Classes made up because of an original D or F- CSU only counts the grade in the class that was received after the D or F.
