How to Report Community College Grades on the UC Application?

I'm taking some community college classes while I'm still in high school. How do I report the grades for these classes on my UC application, especially if some grades are still in progress?

To include your community college classes on your UC application, you'll first, under the "Colleges Attended" section of the application, add the community college you've been taking classes at as a school you've attended. Be prepared to provide information on the specific college, such as its location and the dates of your attendance.

After you've added the college, you'll move onto the "Coursework" section. Here you'll add each of the college classes you have taken or are currently enrolled in, exactly as they appear on your community college transcript. Make sure to note any and all details relevant to the course, including its title, course number, time taken (semester or quarter), and the grade you received if the course has been completed.

For in progress classes or classes that will be taken in the future, you can select "IP" for in progress or "PL" for planned.

Please ensure accuracy in the information you provide and remember to send an official transcript from your community college to your university after being accepted and once all grades have been finalized in order to confirm your reported grades. Take the extra effort in double-checking your filled out application to ensure no errors or discrepancies.

Keep in mind that successfully completed college-level coursework can ultimately demonstrate to the admissions officers that you have the ability to manage and excel in a college-level curriculum, which is a positive characteristic to have on your application. Good luck!
