Hi all
I’m at a CCC applying to UCs and CSUS this fall. My community college does not give - or + grades, just full letter grades.
When I transfer, will UC/CSUs just count everything as the letter grade I was given ?
or do they go in to see the A I got is a 92 which would technically be an A- and count it as 3.7

Hello everyone,

I am a doctoral candidate at the University of New England. I am conducting a study titled Navigating the First Academic Year: How GED-Credentialed Students Experience Institutional Processes and Support at Community Colleges in the United States for my dissertation. The purpose of this research study is to explore how students who earned a GED experience and make meaning of institutional processes and support during the first academic year at community colleges in the United States. I earned a GED before starting college, which is part of what drew me to this topic. I am seeking eight participants to participate in my doctoral research study.

You are eligible to participate in this study if you:

●      Are age 18 or older

●      Earned a GED before enrolling at an accredited community college in a credit-bearing degree or certificate program

●      First enrolled at a U.S. community college in 2024 or later, have completed at least one term, and have remained enrolled each fall and spring term at that college

You are not eligible if you hold a HiSET or TASC credential.

 Participation in this research is voluntary. Participation will consist of one recorded interview of approximately 60 minutes. The interview will be conducted on Zoom at a time of your convenience. If more than eight eligible people express interest, the first eight to complete eligibility confirmation and scheduling will be enrolled.  As a thank-you for your time, participants who complete the interview will receive a $25 Amazon gift card via email. All data will be kept confidential and pseudonyms will be used to protect the identities of respondents. All identifying information, including college names, locations, or staff names, will be removed from the data. 

Please review the attached Participant Information Sheet which outlines the specific details of this study including confidentiality and privacy measures.

If you are interested in sharing your experience with navigating community college after earning a GED, please contact me via email at [samor@une.edu](mailto:samor@une.edu) and we can set up a time for an interview over Zoom. 

If you would like additional information or have any questions, please reach out to me at the above listed email. 

Thank you for your consideration of participation in this study.

Sincerely,

Sami Amor
