<p>When you take courses at community colleges, those credits transfer. Do the grades also?</p>

<p>BUMP.</p>

<p>I believe that they do accept most credits.</p>

<p>I actually take a math class that is dual-credited with a community college. (calc III and linear algebra if u must know). They won’t accept my credit however because the class is actually taught at another high school in my school district. But I was told that I could pass out of the class through taking their final for the course.</p>

<p>Basically, if you took the class at a community college campus, they accept it. If you took the class at a high school but it counts for college credit, they won’t accept it, but they will let you advance to a higher level course.</p>

<p>Wow. Someone responded! Anyhow, I’m just wondering if the grades transfer as well—will it affect your GPA?</p>

<p>I’m not sure about that, but that’s what I assume “transfering credits” means.</p>

<p>Different schools might do it differently, but for Weinberg: “Note that in all cases, grades earned elsewhere will not be factored into the student’s Northwestern GPA.”</p>

<p>You know, I probably am not the best source of information for this because of my limited experience. If you are really curious and no-one can help you out, you might want to just call them and ask?</p>

<p>There’s more info here: <a href=“http://www.registrar.northwestern.edu/student_info/coll_credit.html[/url]”>http://www.registrar.northwestern.edu/student_info/coll_credit.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>There’s a limit to how many credits you can transfer. It looks like you can transfer more if you applied as a transfer student, and fewer if you were accepted as a Freshman.</p>
