CSF Qualification Guidelines - Please read FULLY before applying
Guidelines for applying:
You must earn a MINIMUM of 10 points from LAST semester's grade
*The first 4 points MUST be from List 1 (unless you're a senior applying in January or May)
*The first 7 points (including the 4 points described above) MUST be from Lists 1 and 2 (they can ALL come from List 1, though). Seniors must earn 7 total points from lists 1 and 2.
*The remaining points may come from any LIST (I, II, or III).
*You may only use FIVE courses to qualify. Summer School NEVER counts (including classes taken at COS or another community college).
*No CSF points are given for physical education, courses in lieu of physical education, subjects repeated to improve a grade, courses involving clerking and office/teaching assisting, courses taken on a pass/fail basis, nor any summer school classes. No points are granted to TA's or Academic Tutors.
Point Distribution for standard High School Classes:
A grade of an A = 3 CSF points | a grade of a B = 1 CSF point | a grade of a C = 0 CSF points
*ONE additional point shall be granted for a grade of an A or B in an AP or Honors course; you can only apply this extra point to TWO courses. Please note: despite some VAPA classes being designated as "honors" courses, you cannot apply a point bump to these courses.
College Courses that earn 10 credits in a semester:
A grade of an A = 6 CSF points | a grade of a B = 2 CSF points | a grade of a C = 0 CSF points
*A grade of a D or F in ANY course, even in one you cannot use to qualify, disqualifies you from membership at this time.
Begin by entering your high school courses; if you have college courses to enter, you will do so in Section 3. This includes ANY Dual Enrollment classes you're taking on Redwood's campus, even English 1.
I recommend having your transcript available to you as you enter your courses.
