Do "Other courses" on transcript factor into GPA? - navy3912 - 09-14-2015
Hello again everyone!
While looking over my evaluation it seems that my worst grade ( C- in an Oceanography lab transfer class) is under the "other courses" section. While this does loose me 4 credits, it really helps out my GPA if it is not calculated in the degree I just don't know the answer. I would call TESC, but it is a tad late.
Thanks for the insight!

While TESC does require you to meet a certain GPA in transferring courses into the school, it does not use any of those courses to give you it's own GPA. Only grades from courses you take there count as the GPA.
Usually they accept a C- in courses, and they would put it into GenEd or Free Electives or something like that. Unless you have a lot of units, and those buckets are all filled. I have a D in Chemistry that counts as my science course.
