What are quality points and how do they affect your registration date assignment?

Returning students accumulate quality points based on the calculation of their GPA multiplied by the GPA hours accumulated. For example: GPA 2.0 multiplied by 10 GPA hours = 20 quality points.

Students can access their GPA and GPA hours on their official or unofficial transcript which can be found under their myProfile link.

Students may be assigned a registration date based on the quality points accumulated. Other factors that affect the assigned registration date include but are not limited to; admission to a special program/major, academic notice, units completed, recent SFUSD high school graduate.

Matriculation status also affects the assigned registration date. In order to complete matriculation, students need to complete the New Student Orientation, receive English/ESL and Math Course Placements, and create an Education Plan with an Academic Counselor.
