<p>Now I’ve heard that if you have your associates the college you transfer to can’t question the courses you took at your previous college. But what if I want to totally retake all those classes again at my new college under a new major (Engineering) in a attempt to improve my gpa?</p>
<p>I had a rough start my first year and a half of college but now I’m way more focused and determine to bring up my gpa which as of right now is a 2.8. I still have 3 more classes before I get my AS in Biology. But I want to transfer to another school and get another AS in Engineering then transfer again to get my BA in Environment Engineering. (yeah I know a lot of transferring) </p>
<p>So I want to know if is it possible to totally retake courses I’ve already taken like Comp 1 and Government at my next school to improve my GPA?</p>
<p>The short answer: No. Once you take a transferrable class and get a C or higher, you will not be allowed to take it over for g.p.a purposes. </p>
<p>You don’t need to get an A.S. That’s primarily for students that want to use the degree to immediately get a job. You can just transfer to a university. </p>
<p>You do realize that engineering is a lot harder than biology right? </p>
<p>Getting another A.S is pointless. Take the classes you need to transfer to an engineering program. The only way to “purge” your g.p.a is to do an academic adjustment (called different things at different schools) where a school “dismisses” your bad grades. Look up academic policies in your college catalog and talk to a counselor. They will be able to help you out.</p>
<p>Edit: Also when you transfer to a university, your CC g.p.a really isn’t important. The Uni takes your credit and essentially you start with a 4.0 g.p.a. at the school you transfer to.</p>
<p>Once you transfer, your CC GPA will become irrelevant. Idk how you only have a 2.8 GPA in biology at a CC, but you should expect to put in a lot more effort in just working on an engineering Associate’s. </p>
<p>There is really no need for you to get that second degree unless you’re trying to save money by finishing the first half of an engineering program at a CC. You don’t need to work terribly hard on your CC GPA if you plan on transferring unless you are trying to get into a really good university. Either way, you’ll still need at least college algebra+trig and/or precalculus before you are able to transfer into an engineering program, because they start off at calculus.</p>
<p>You also have to consider that with most engineering programs, it may take you 3 years after you transfer to complete your engineering degree since there are a number of engineering courses not offered in a community college which are taken by sophomores in engineering.</p>
