I was a little disappointed to learn that I’ve earned only a B+ in my English composition class at De Anza College, bringing down my GPA slightly. While De Anza counts a B+ as 3.3 points, most universities use only the letter for transfer credit, so it will transfer as a 3.0.
I’ve returned to school part time in February 2006, and out of 39 2/3 semester hours since then, this is my first grade below an A-. I’ve completed 68 2/3 semester hours total with a cumulative GPA of 3.43, and I’ve finally satisfied all of the requirements for an Associate of Arts in Mathematics degree. An AA degree won’t really do anything for me, but I suppose it’s a milestone on the way to my BS degree.
I will need to have a transcript sent from De Anza to Mission College, pay for a transcript evaluation, and apply for graduation. I won’t actually receive the degree until the end of May at the earliest.
