You received a C- grade and see on MyUCSC that you've earned 5 credits, can you use this to satisfy a major requirement?

First, let’s restate the scenario to be clear: you received a C- grade, and your MyUCSC shows 5 credits earned. The question asks whether you can use this to satisfy a major requirement.
Since the provided answer states: 'No, a C- cannot be used as prerequisite credit or to satisfy a major requirement,' we can examine why this is the case.
Why this statement might be true: many undergraduate programs require courses to be completed with a minimum grade (often C or better) to count toward major requirements or prerequisites. A C- is typically below that minimum threshold, so it often cannot be applied toward major requirements or used as prerequisite credit when evaluating degree progress.
Why some students might assume otherwise: it could be tempting to think that any earned credit counts toward degree progress simply because it adds to total credits. However, major requirements and prerequisites are more stringent than total earned credits; they frequently specify grade quality (minimum grade) and course applicability toward the major.
Why the other potential misconceptions fail (even though no other options are listed here): one might worry about rounding up grades or counting C- as acceptable in some departments, but many programs explicitly require a grade of C or higher for courses to count toward major requirements, so a C- would be disqualified.
Additionally, the distinction between prerequisite credit and major credit matters: some departments allow certain courses to satisfy prerequisites even with lower grades, but major requirements usually demand at least a C or better. The statement provided aligns with the common policy that a C- does not satisfy major requirements or prerequisites in many programs.
In summary, under typical university policies, a C- grade does not fulfill major requirements or prerequisite credit, which is why the answer asserts that 5 credits earned with a C- cannot be used to satisfy a major requirement.
