Midyear Reports:

Colleges may require a mid-year report, or 7^th semester grades, as soon as semester grades are out.  Students can begin to request mid-year reports beginning February 2nd, 2012. Please remember that UCs and CSUs do not require mid-year grades unless they contact the student, specifically requesting them.

For colleges requiring a mid-year report and are using the Common App please email your counselor with the following information:

-          Your name.

-          The list of colleges that need a mid-year report.

-          Midyear reports/grades will be sent via Naviance.

If a non-common app school requires a mid-year report, please follow the instructions below:

-          Bring the registrar a business sized envelope addressed to the college, with our TPHS return address, 1 stamp, and your legal name in the bottom right hand corner (ex: RE: Robert Coppo)

-          Include the midyear form if applicable (check to see if student signature is required) and $5 per envelope (college) for transcript fees.

-          The registrar will then give the official transcript to your counselor and s/he will fill out the midyear report and mail it ASAP.

Eligibility in the Local Context

If you rank in the top 9 percent of students in your California high school class — and your high school participates in our ELC program — you can qualify for admission to UC.

If your school participates in the ELC program — which most California high schools do — we will identify the top 9 percent of students on the basis of GPA in UC-approved coursework completed in the 10th and 11th grades. To be considered for ELC, you must have a minimum GPA of 3.0 and complete the following "a-g" courses prior to your senior year: History/social science/1 year, English/2 years, Mathematics/2 years, Laboratory science/1 year, Language other than English/1 year, College-preparatory elective (chosen from the subjects listed above or another course approved by the university)/4 yearlong courses


After you enter your coursework and grades in your application, we'll compare your GPA to the historic top GPA for your school. If you meet or exceed that GPA, you'll be designated ELC and we'll add a note to your application.


How we determine schools' historic GPAs

Since the inception of the ELC program, participating schools have submitted transcripts for the top 12.5 percent (15 percent beginning in 2011) of their students, with parental permission. Using this information, we have established a historic, or benchmark, GPA representing the expected GPA for the top 9 percent of the students from each school. Schools are periodically requested to submit transcripts so that we can monitor — and reset, if necessary — their benchmark GPA.


High school eligibility

Most California public high schools and more than 80 percent of private schools participate in the ELC program. To participate, a school must be accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, have an American Testing Program code, have a UC-approved course list, and be comprehensive (classroom-based). Magnet programs and charter schools that are considered dependent charters within a public school district and have a UC-approved course list on file are eligible.
