What will happen to my GPA and transcript when I transfer?

You can’t delete anything on your transcript, it’ll be with you for the rest of your life. In your situation, I don’t think you will even get credit for your old classes even if you successfully transferred because most colleges and universities require a C or higher in a course to grant you credit.
Yes, you need to send all your transcripts if you want to apply to grad school. Regarding retaken courses, it depends where you retake your class. For example, in UCONN, if you did badly in a class, you can retake the same class at UCONN and get a better grade, the improved grade will be calculated towards your GPA while the lower grade will not, but will still be shown on your transcript. However, if you do not take the course again at UCONN but at a CC, then if you get a C or higher, the credit will transfer as a T, which will eliminate the F, it’s like you have taken the course and gotten the credit but your grade won’t count for or against you. Occasionally, some schools average the two grades, original and retake.


Don’t worry about grad school for now…try to retake the classes if you can during the summer/winter break and do well in your future courses. I feel your pain man, I didn’t do well in one of my classes in the first semester as well. Goodluck.
