Can you start fresh at a CC?

When you go to the CC, your GPA will not transfer; you will be starting with a 0 GPA. Classes in which you have earned at least a C may transfer for credit purposes, but not for GPA purposes. Now, if you then transfer after the CC to another 4-year school, the transfer institution will do whatever it wants to calculate your GPA, including re-factoring in your UCSB grades. However, a significant upward trend in the GPA at the CC will help to make up for a slow start and the 4-year school may not consider your UCSB grades heavily.
