  1. HowDo I Read My Transcript? 1. First, make sure all of your personal information is accurate. This should be a student’s legal name (no nicknames) and address should be current.

  2. Directly under your personal information, you will find grades and GPA from your first quarter (9 week period) at CCA. Also included in each quarter is a summary of the credits you have attempted and earned for that quarter. Each subsequent quarter’s grades, credits and GPA follows. If you did not attend CCA in 9th grade, you should find a record of the grades you earned from 9th grade at your former school. Keep in mind that if you attend summer school, your grades will be factored in with the year that follows. For example, summer school after ninth grade will be considered 10th grade. Plus and minus are not shown on the official transcript.

  3. Each quarter, your Grade Point Average (GPA) is calculated by taking the sum of the grades you earned and dividing it by the number of the courses you took that quarter. At the bottom of each represented quarter, you will find your “TGPA” (Total Grade Point Average), for that quarter only. To calculate TGPA, the following formula is used: A=4 B=3 C=2 D=1 The only exception to this formula is one additional point for “C” grade and higher earned in PreCalculus Honors and/or Advanced Placement courses. Keep in mind that a “D” in these courses does NOT earn an additional point.

  4. On the CCA transcript, three types of GPA are calculated by dividing the sum of course grade points earned by the number of courses taken. Acad. GPA 9-12: Includes all courses taken in 9-12, except PE, Teacher Aide and courses graded with a Pass/Fail. Acad. GPA 10-12: Includes all courses taken in 10 -12 except PE, Teacher Aide and courses graded with a Pass/Fail. Total GPA 9 -12: Includes every course taken in grades 9-12. Note: Each college determines which GPA to use for admission and it is the student’s responsibility to use the correct GPA on the application.

  5. In the lower left-hand corner of your transcript, you will find your total overall credits attempted and earned, including every quarter at CCA.

  6. In the lower right-hand corner of your transcript, you will find your overall credits earned, including every quarter at CCA, in a “Credit Summary” format. Note that there are three columns: Credits Req’d: This column indicates how many credits are required to graduate from CCA (not to apply to college). Compl: This column indicates how many credits you have completed toward your graduation requirement. Needed: This column indicates how many more credits you need in order to graduate. Note: This summary does not include the credits being attempted in the current “Work in Progress” section.

  7. In the lower left-hand corner of your transcript, you will find a California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) designation. In order to graduate, you must pass both the ELA and Math section. If you do pass either or both sections, it will be indicated. You may print an unofficial transcript from Aeries at any time. To request an official transcript, please see the CCA Registrar in Student Services.
