   Each school looks at it diff.... my school for example looks at the last 60 units for those with certain criteria (ex 2nd degree, and transfers) and overall GPA (total ever attempted) by those that are not transfers. That is given one value for the p...

   luv_o_so_much replied to niconomy's topic in California

   I was going to suggest the same thing. If there is not a community college in your area perhaps you can look for a different cc and check to see if that cc offeres the course online. Good luck!
