Dual Credit Hours in Question?

Howdy.

I am at UT Dallas and after researching careers in the past couple months have had a idea to switch to Business and attend UT Austin. Probably as a transfer the end of my sophomore year. I could have made it in to UT Austin as freshman with scholarship money, but UTD was more appealing for the program I was looking at.

My question is. I did dual credit during high school and didn’t do amazingly well. I was curious if when transferring will UT Austin use my UTD G.P.A or will they use my total G.P.A including the dual credit hours? I will be re-taking my Econ2301 because I did it dual credit and want a better understanding.

Could anyone help me with this? I don’t worry too much about EC’s, working, high school G.P.A. and test scores but this has been bothering me. I would love to go to UT Austin due to networking with McCombs. So the question is:

“When transferring as a Sophomore to UT, will they use my dual credit high school courses in the G.P.A calculation?”

“How does retaking a course affect the grade that UT will use or adjust it to?”

Thanks.
