Please see your counselor for detailed requirements that
must be met for specific majors!
• Career and technical schools
offer a variety of programs in
such fields as automotive
mechanics, health care,
cosmetology, culinary arts, etc.
• Before enrolling in one of
these programs, do a cost
comparison to see if these
programs are offered for
considerably less tuition at a
ROP Center.
Also,
• Carefully check out the school by asking several
questions such as:
Is the program approved by the California Bureau
for private post secondary and vocational
education?
Is the school accredited by one of the numerous
accrediting bodies in the United States?

Reminder:
– When a student seeks to clear a D/F grade through
validation, both the original grade and the grade earned in
the higher-level course will be used in calculating the GPA.
Only a repeat will replace the D/F grade.
– Statistics will validate only Integrated Math I and Integrated
Math III (not Integrated Math II).
– Pre Calculus will validate the entire high school math
sequence, if completed with “C” or better each semester.
• A course in which a D/F is earned can be repeated with a
course that has the same curriculum, even if the course title is
not identical (e.g., Algebra 1 and Beginning Algebra). If a C or
better is earned, the original D/F will not be included in the
GPA calculation.
• A course in which a grade of C was earned cannot be
repeated*.
• There is no limit to the overall number of repeated courses an
applicant may present, but each course can be repeated only
once*.
Students must list all courses, including the original course, on their
application.
