Important Information
Important note for summer classes: When entering high school courses taken during the summer, select the grade level AFTER the summer you took the course in. For example, if you took Geometry during the summer between the 9th and 10th grades, list it as a 10th grade class. This is important to ensure that the GPA calculated on is accurate.
Important note honors courses: Select only authorized honors courses that are designated honors or advanced placement on the University of California's a-g list.
If you have repeated a course, list the highest grade you achieved for each semester for the course.
