Aviationguy12 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I'm a junior in high school and I'm taking a college class that is offered by my local community college. To pass the class and get the credits you must get an A,B, or a C. The teacher informed me that only the credits pass onto your college and not the grade. Understanding now that Grades are part of your PCSM , will my grade in this class transfer to my PCSM in the future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 If I remember correctly, I vaguely remember having to track down my dual-enrollment grades for my pilot board in ROTC. Granted this was a very long time ago so maybe someone else can get you more recent Intel, but I would definitely try to get started on the right foot... And join the guard.

Blue Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I had some community college credit that I transferred to State U. The credit transferred, but the grade didn't. I don't recall that it ever entered into the PCSM calculation, but that was a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedevil Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Grades have no bearing on your PCSM. Unless you're aware of some major change, in which case, I would love to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I'm thinking he means OM to which they do come into play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WishfulPlinking Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I can expand on this. Duck and bluedevil have it right that grades do not matter for PCSM, but do factor in to everything else in ROTC (assuming that is the avenue for commissioning that you are pursuing). AFROTC calculates your GPA as a weighted average of ALL COLLEGE COURSES, which includes pre-college work at local state universities, community colleges, etc. Anything that you get college credit for you will submit the transcripts to your personnelist at the DET. They will want an official transcript. This can actually be a huge advantage for you as far as getting into Field Training. If you mess up a few classes your freshman year, it won't have as significant an impact on your GPA, thus less of an impact on your OM. You're a long way and many hoops away, just don't forget why you want to do this. Source: I took 40 hrs of classes pre-college. ROTC counted it. University did not. I had 2 GPAs throughout school, which was nice because my ROTC one was always higher. First term I took 18 hrs, finished with a 2.8 GPA, but once the 40 hrs transfer was accounted for (at a 3.8), my ROTC GPA was 3.48. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aviationguy12 Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 Thanks Wishful plinking for the response. I totally understand now haha. Would you be able to tell me what an OM is by chance. It's used a couple times in the responses and I didn't really know what it meant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
