Got an email notification about my final exam grade for Business Law 19. 180/200! I thought I was going to need to get 190 to pass the class with an A but apparently, the 180 was enough. I think I remember the professor saying something about if we were a few points from an A, the survey we took on the effectiveness of the online course would be counted as extra credit, so I guess that's how I was boosted to the A.

I'm not complaining though! The A from Business Law 19 and the B from Intro to Accounting gave me a term GPA of 3.5 but my overall GPA still sucks at 2.395.

I believe universities are looking for 3.5 and higher for the overall GPA. THIS is exactly why I really need to talk to a counselor. I need to know what relevant courses to my Business Administration major I need to take to boost my overall GPA to transfer, or other routes to take to get into a university to get my Bachelor's Degree. Like I said in a previous post, I'm 4 or 5 classes away from being "transfer ready" but my GPA isn't good.

I picked my possible classes for Spring 2021. I have 4 classes picked and I think the total units would classify me as a full-time student! I haven't had the classification since before I got my AS degree in 2007.

Also, holy shit! I've been doing this school thing for far too long! I graduated high school in 2000, royally screwed up at first community college after 5 years. My dad said I needed to get a degree so I applied at another college and got my Associate's degree after 18 months, but had to wait one more semester for graduation, which put me in 2007 for actually getting my degree. I worked for 6 years but missed school and was hoping that I could get my butt in gear to get my bachelor's degree, so I went back to first community college to see about taking courses in Criminal Justice Administration...oh and I applied to second community college again and took a couple of classes. Unfortunately, that was Fall 2013 and Spring 2014 and then I had to stop. My dad had a stroke and I spent June to his death in November 2014 helping my mom care for him. I didn't go back to school until Summer 2016 at the current community college (number 3).

Anyway, the classes
Spring 2021
Financial Accounting (5 units) [repeat as I got a D when I took it Spring 2018]
Property Law (3 units)
College Algebra (6 units) [repeat as I got a D when I took it Fall 2017]
Analytical Reading (3 units)

17 total units.

I have a feeling the counselor might say that's too much based on what I've done previous semesters, or to pick a different College Algebra class (the others are 4 units). If I take a different math course that would me at 15 units for the semester.

But I won't know anything UNTIL I TALK TO A COUNSELOR!

Thanks.

The more I look at it, the more I think I need to split the 2 repeated courses up - take one this semester and one in the fall.

That might make it easier!
