The scholarship requirement is met if you earn the required combination of a 3.0 grade point average (GPA) or higher in the "a-g" subjects, and the corresponding college admission test scores as specified in the UC Eligibility Index (see below). An eligibility calculator is available online.
UC calculates your GPA in the "a-g" subjects by assigning point values to the grades you earn, totaling the points and dividing the total by the number of "a-g" course units. Points are assigned as follows: A=4 points, B=3 points, C=2 points, D=1 point, and F=0 points.
Only the grades you earn in "a-g" subjects in the 10th and 11th grades, including summer sessions, are used to calculate your GPA. Courses you take in the 9th grade can be used to meet the subject requirement if you earn a grade of C or better, but they will not be used to calculate your GPA.
The university assigns extra points for up to four units (eight semesters) of UC-approved honors level and advanced placement courses taken in the last three years of high school: A=5 points, B=4 points, C=3 points. No more than two units of UC-approved honors level courses taken in the 10th grade may be given extra points. A grade of D in an honors or advanced placement course does not earn extra points.
