How do Community College class credit and grades work for TAMU?

1. Do Community College class grades (taken as a high school student) transfer to TAMU? My daughter is taking Physics at the local community college just for fun and outside of the school day. It is the regular Engineering physics class and lab (NOT Dual Credit). Will the grade she gets be included in her TAMU GPA or does the class credit just transfer?

2. Can a Community College class be repeated at TAMU?

@Thelma2 and anyone else who knows: Here is the backstory: My daughter is taking Engineering Physics at the local community college. Not sure if the teaching is really bad (she thinks so) or if the class is just that hard but she has a “B” at this point. She is trying to figure out if a “B” is going to follow her to TAMU and cause her to start out with 3.0 gpa. She is also concerned that she is not being taught/learning the material to the caliber of TAMU Physics standards and will be behind in the next Physics class. Thus, wondering if it is possible to repeat the class at TAMU so she has a solid foundation. She is an Engineering major (Computer Science hopefully) to start this Fall 2019.
