High School Coursework (Undergraduate Only)

Use this section to add your high school coursework as it appears on your transcript.

• College or university courses taken concurrently while in high school must be reported in College Coursework for each college or university attended. Remember to visit A-G Matching after completing the College Coursework section.
• If you are entering only foreign high schools, then you are not required to complete High School Coursework Entry or A-G Matching. This includes applicants who are US citizens and only attended foreign high schools, as well as applicants who only attended foreign high schools but may have taken a US course.
• Review the 2024-2025 Freshman Application Guide for more detailed information on entering your coursework.

Add a Grade Level

Add the grade levels in which you attended this school.

1. Select the earliest grade level that you completed courses to fulfill A-G subject requirements.
   • If you completed courses in 7th or 8th grade that fulfilled A-G subject requirements, select the appropriate middle school grade level along with your first high school attended in 9th grade and your 9th-grade academic year.
2. Select the grade level you took the courses in. The school and year drop-downs are automatically populated with the information you entered in the High Schools Attended section.
3. Click the green checkmark to save.

Add a Course

Add the courses you took during each grade level.

1. Enter the course title.
   • If you attended a California high school, begin typing your course title, and a list of courses will appear that contains the letters entered. Continue entering the course title until the correct course appears.
   • If you did not attend a California high school, manually enter the course title exactly as it appears on your transcript.
2. Select the course type.
   • None: standard level course
   • Advanced Placement: AP course, eligible for an additional point to your GPA calculation
   • International Baccalaureate: IB course, eligible for an additional point to your GPA calculation
   • Honors: approved honors course, eligible for an additional point to your GPA calculation
3. Enter the grade earned for each term.
   • If the course was completed, select the letter grade you received for the course during this term. Refer to Cal State Apply Grade Values Chart for conversion charts, if necessary.
   • Select "In Progress" if you are currently taking the course.
   • Select "Planned" if you have not yet taken the course and plan to take it in a future term.
   • If you are enrolled in the course for only one term, select "No Grade" or "No Course" for the term during which you will not earn a grade (e.g., if you take a course for one semester, one field will contain a grade, "In Progress," or "Planned," and the other field will contain "No Grade" or "No Course").
   • If you received a "Pass" rather than a letter grade, select "Pass."
   • If you repeated a course and earned a new grade, only report the highest grade for the course. Do not enter the repeated course twice. If the course is in-progress or planned and you have not yet earned a new grade, report the grade you originally received, along with the planned/in-progress course. The original grade will be counted in your GPA until a new grade is earned. Keep in mind that Cal State Apply defines repeated courses as the exact same course with the exact same course title taken at the same school or school district at a later time.
