Community College GPA to University GPA

[ElectricTech]

I'm taking classes at a community college this summer. When I transfer the classes back to my main university, does it usually affect the GPA at the university?

[ElectricTech]

umm, yeah can anyone please respond?...

We don't know what your main college is, so it's harder to help. Just to see what turned up for my own university, I used their search function and typed in "transfer credit". In the academic policies part of some page it told me that transfer credits are granted on a pass/fail basis and are not part of my GPA. Try asking your main university(or searching),

According to this, I believe that transfer work may be accounted for in the GPA:

Grade Point Average (GPA) Requirement

In order to receive a degree from the College of Engineering, a student must present a minimum grade point average of 2.00/4.00 in all work in the major. In addition, the student must satisfy the University requirement of a 2.00/4.00 grade point average in two categories: (1) all work taken at UIC; (2) all work taken at UIC and all other two- and four-year institutions combined.

I think usually it goes into your overall gpa but not your specific-college gpa.

The work taken at other universities than my university also has to pass the 2.0/4.0 requirement, but they still only show it on the transcript as credit on my transcript with no grade, like an AP class credit.

But based on this (Student Records and Transcripts) it looks like they factor transfer credit grades. Seems strange to me, and I'd just send them an e-mail (the registrar would know immediately, and for sure), but I'd say that take grades with transfer credit.

Well in my school, i will need to check the course equivilency if it matches i have to pass it with a C and above to have credit for it. Once the gredit is transfer it will only say u have gain the credit and will not effect your gpa in your transcript.

At UIUC your UIUC gpa and transfer gpa are seperate. However your cummulative gpa is combined. Also, your transfer grades are on your transcripts so i wouldn't blow the classes off.
