GPA Protection Guide →Common Questions about El Camino College Grading
What is a "Good" Grade Distribution?
While an "easy A" might sound tempting, look for a balanced distribution. A class with 100% As might not prepare you for upper-division coursework. Conversely, a class with high drop (W) rates often indicates a disconnect between expectations and instruction.
Does a "W" (Withdrawal) hurt my transfer chances?
Generally, a single W is not a dealbreaker for UC or CSU transfer. It is far better to protect your GPA than to fail a class. However, patterns of Ws can be a red flag.
