I know its been a minute since I've been at school, but umm usually when the credits transfer the bad grade you got is removed from your gpa. You won't get the grade, but the bad grade you had doesn't count against your GPA.

Now I could be wrong, but that's how it worked for me.

Agreed. I transferred and my GPA started over, but I received most of my credits.

How about you have your college/university to explain this.

Good grief, GCers, stop explaining everything to these people. They have plenty of resources if they aren't too lazy to use them.

I really need to stop feeding the trolls when I'm bored. My apologies.

Okay. Say you went to school A and took 25 credits' worth of classes. When you transfer them to school B, maybe they only take 20 because of what their own classes are like. A fashion merchandising credit won't transfer if you're going to MIT, for instance. Now, since all schools grade differently as well (plus other reasons), you only get the credits, not the GPA. DISCLAIMER: For some schools, you must have a certain grade or above for the credit to transfer. For instance, if I got a D in one class, it may or may not transfer according to school B's policy. If I got an F, those credits would not transfer.

Capice?

sooo....how would that help me? you basically just said the credits transfer not the grades...which is what i thought. how would having more credits help me?
