For all students

This statement should be added to additional comments: “For the 25-26 school year, CVHS changed from a 7 period block schedule to a 6 period traditional schedule.”

If you have a reduced schedule, add: “Seniors have an option for a reduced 5 period day or a 4 period day if taking a college course.” 
If a student took a summer course before 9th grade at CV or GCC-SSC:
  1. Add course to 9th grade academic history 
  2. This statement should be added to the additional comment section: “I took [course title] in the summer before 9th grade at [institution name]. Due to limitations of the UC application, I have entered these classes in the fall term of 9th grade.”
If a student took a summer course at a different school (i.e., OFL, Mission, etc)
  1. Add Another High School in your Academic History
  2. Input courses under corresponding non-CV school. 
  3. No additional statement other than summer prior to 9th grade is required. 

If a student took a GCC-SSC summer course:           
  1. List courses under CV High School. 
  2. This statement should be added to the additional comment section: “GCC_Garfield campus offers summer classes for CVHS students. The courses are approved for UC under the UC Principal Certification guidelines.”

 

Things to Remember

College Courses 

Any college course listed on your high school transcript, should NOT be reported under high school courses, and should only be reported in the college section. 

  College courses earning fewer than 3 semester units (or do not fit into the A-G areas) should be reported in the Activities and awards sections of the application. 

Students must enter ALL UC-transferable, as well as non-transferable English and math, courses taken in A-G subject areas; missing/innaccurate information may be viewed as falsification and result in cancellation of the application or a rescission of admissions offer. 

 

International Academic Records
Students should list all courses attempted and record the grades earned exactly as reported by the international school – whether as numbers, letters, percentages or words. Students should not attempt to convert grades to the U.S. grading scale.
