Am I screwed

I’m an fully admitted Fall 2026 transfer student to Cal Poly Humboldt as a Psychology major from community college, and I’m trying to understand how strict they are about final spring grades.

My cumulative GPA should still stay above a 2.0, but I may end up with a D in BIO 130 and a C (possibly a B if I do well on my final) in BIO 132 lab. My Humboldt degree planner currently says GE Area 5 is already completed even though my BIO 130 is still in progress, and BIO 132 also appears under courses that may not count toward transfer units because I’m already above the 70-unit transfer cap.

So I’m mainly wondering:

  • would a D in BIO 130 cause admissions issues even if my GPA stays above 2.0?
  • or would they just make me retake/replace the course later if needed?

Has anyone transferred to Humboldt/another CSU in a similar situation?
