<p>Hey guys, I know it is pretty much impossible to get a 4.0, but before I got accepted to the college I will be attending in the fall, I took a college algebra class there and got a 3.7. Do dual enrollment classes taken during high school count toward your college GPA during the next 4 (ideally) years? Or will I only be able to earn a 3.99 at best? ;-]</p>
<p>It depends. My college only transfers credits and not grades, meaning that classes taken off campus never affect our GPA. If your college does transfer grades, then yes, the dual enrollment grade will count.</p>
<p>It depends on multiple factors.</p>
<p>A) During college. Your college may have a policy to only count GPA from within the school, so classes taken at community colleges over the summer or dual enrollment might be count. Your college could also include ALL classes taken.</p>
<p>B) If you have any plans at law school, I know that ALL college classes are counted in your GPA for applying to law school.</p>
<p>C) If you have a scholarship, that might stipulate different requirements.</p>
<p>I have three GPA’s on my report card at the end of every semester: My semester GPA, My USC GPA, and my LIFE (state scholarship) GPA. One counts all of the classes of the semester, the other is all classes at USC, and the final is ALL classes that I have taken including dual enrollment.</p>
<p>I think what the OP meant was that they will be attending the same college they took the course at, so it wouldn’t be transferring in from anywhere. </p>
<p>This depends on the school. If you weren’t matriculated as a traditional, full-time student, it may be possible that the grade will not count toward your GPA after being admitted. Or, they might still count it regardless. You would need to contact them to see what their specific policy is. However, regardless of whether they count it toward your GPA, that course grade will always been there when you apply to graduate school.</p>
<p>My school only calculated semester GPA, major GPA, and overall GPA at the college. It did not include grades from transferred courses taken at my local CC or elsewhere. And if you had taken a course there as a non-matriculated student prior to full-time attendance, I don’t believe that was included in GPA. And after earning your graduation requirements, further courses taken didn’t affect undergraduate GPA, either.</p>
