Audit UC A–G completion with your transcript and the correct school-year course listings before assuming that a strong GPA means every subject requirement is satisfied. This worksheet checks course coverage. Calculating a UC GPA and estimating competitiveness are separate tasks.
Under UC's current subject requirements, the standard high school route requires 15 yearlong courses with grades of C or better, with at least 11 completed before the final high school year. Other qualifying coursework and examinations can satisfy particular requirements under UC's rules.
If you are the student, gather your records and complete the audit fields. If you are a parent, review the evidence alongside your student and take uncertain classifications to the school counselor.
Start with the seven subject areas
Use this as an audit index, then read the detailed rule for each area.
For each subject area, list each course on its own line: exact title, issuing school or provider, course year, term, grade, approved-list evidence, and completed or planned status. Keep the original record available; an entry here is not an official eligibility determination.
Minimum years are not a complete description of subject content, acceptable sequences, or recommended preparation. Use UC's detailed guidance to resolve those questions.
Match each course to its evidence
For California high school courses, check the school's UC-approved course list for the year the course was taken. Record the exact title, term, grade, and category. Do not rely only on the title printed in a course-selection brochure.
Add separate entries for courses from another high school, outside providers, and colleges. Keep the issuing record available. A course that counts toward high school graduation does not automatically settle the UC question.
Flag uncertainties instead of inventing a fix
Mark an item for review if the course title does not match, the grade creates a concern, the sequence is unusual, or you are relying on an examination or college course. Ask the school counselor to help identify the applicable UC rule. Complicated substitutions or validation questions should be resolved using official guidance.
In a hypothetical audit, a junior discovers that a planned elective was being counted as arts without checking its approval category. The useful outcome is to identify the actual gap while scheduling can still change, not to relabel the course in the application.
Finish with an action list
For every unresolved item, record the question, responsible person, source, and date for an answer. Confirm that the planned senior schedule remains feasible. Recheck the audit if a course changes.
A complete A–G record establishes subject coverage, not admission to a chosen UC campus or major. Keep affordable, academically suitable alternatives on the list.
Use the application checklist for submission tasks. If the audit raises broader questions about courses, major plans, and college choices, IvyReady can help coordinate that planning.
If you want help organizing the academic questions and next steps, IvyReady can help you compare the planning choices. The institution remains the authority on its requirements.
