I need help with this college admissions question?

Im a student at El Camino Community College, and I want to transfer to Loyola Marymount University as a Business Administration transfer student. Here is the El Camino sheet which shows what LMU requires for Business Administration major transfers to LMU:

LOYOLA MARYMOUNT UNIVERSITY
Pre-Major Courses: Business 1A-1B; Economics 1, 2; Math 160; CIS 13
A lower division business law class is required after transfer. A student must have completed a course in Business Calculus, (ECC Math 160), with a grade of "C" (2.0) or better in order to transfer into the College of Business Administration.
All Business Administration students must satisfy the general education requirements and complete the Business Administration requirements listed above. In most cases, students are eligible to transfer after completing 30 units of transferable coursework, with a minimum GPA of 3.00. A maximum of 60 units may be transferred from all community college work.


My question is:

1. Does my GPA need to be at least a 3.0 on ALL courses I have taken at El Camino?? For example, i unfortunately failed my Spanish 1 course, i plan on retaking it.

2. Is 30 GE units, and the above listed courses all I need to transfer? Are these the only units in which my GPA will be calculated from??

Thank you very much for answering in advance...i am quite confused. Also, is LMU a UC or a CSU???
 
They will go by your overall GPA..not individual courses. So you failing Spanish won't be an issue as long as your overall GPA is over 3.0.

You will need 30 GE transferable credit, plus the other specified classes. The university will only look at transferable credit when calculating your GPA. Their site or talk to an advisor to see which classes are and which aren't, that you took. So if you got an A in Weight Lifting, and that university does not transfer credit for that class, then that A will not be looked at when calculating your overall GPA to get admitted.
