<p>Hi CC! :)</p>
<p>Here's my dilemma...in High School I took two "College In the Schools" (CIS) classes in French and Anatomy which is through/affiliated with the University of Minnesota. (They're taught by HS teachers, not profs at the UMN). The CIS classes that I took can count towards college credit at the UMN and it appears on a UMN transcript. SO my problem is that when my current college requested for the transcripts from the UMN they transferred both classes AND grades which are counted in my gpa ---4 credits for French (got a C) and 5 credits (got a D) (***?!! why 5 credits? I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be less than that lol) for Anatomy...those are A LOT of credits (which I feel like is the wrong amount) and it's ruining my current gpa..because it's counted with my cumulative :( </p>
<p>I thought it was the norm at most schools to transfer credits and NOT the grades :/ *What can I do to convince the administration to remove that off of my transcript? * Even though on the official transcript it says fall 09 and fall '10 next to the courses (I'm a 1st semester freshman, btw). </p>
<p>I feel like this will somewhat kill my chances for transferring...will the adcoms know that it was a HS class transferred?</p>
<p>So you are at UMN now? Applying to transfer somewhere else? UMN is counting it in your gpa? Or are you somewhere else and just bringing in your credits from UMN that you got in HS?</p>
<p>Have you checked your current transcript? My son got credit at the CC for a HS Forensics class that gave him credit at the CC. he transferred that class to his College (not the CC–he never attended there). They gave him credit but on his transcript at the college he attended it says “TR” for the grade. It is NOT in his GPA at his college and he could have used it! </p>
<p>His brother transferred to a different 4 year school as a junior from the CC. He has 62 credits that transferred and on his “advising transcript” it lists his grades as “TA” “TC” “TB” etc, the T for transfer and the letter grade. His gpa at the new school is 0.00, he starts there in Jan.</p>
<p>On the Transcript that the CC sent to both schools it had the course, credits and grades. They have to send the grades because they need to know if you passed! I would say the GPA usually does not transfer over. Double check you transcripts to see what is on there. The letters might be there, but I doubt the grades counted, MAYBE if it both UMN and you school are in the same state college system they might though…</p>
<p>@njfootballmom: I currently attend SDSU, not the UMN. I was thinking that my gpa would start at 0.00 like everyone else, but apparently when they transferred over the credits, they also transferred over the grades as well…and they put a grade next to the school’s equivalent of the course…ugh. The grades + credits are counted in my cumulative gpa :(</p>
<p>I doubled checked my “unofficial transcript” so yes, they do count it. However, it says fall 2009 and fall 2010 next to the grades, though (when I took them at high school).</p>
<p>Is there anyway i can convince them to remove this? Most schools DO NOT transfer the grades over… I’ll try talking to my advisor again…</p>
<p>I don’t have any real advice. Sound like you would have been better not having those courses count at all, or not told them about them…In our case it wasn’t a “college in the schools” program. The teacher simply applied to the Community College for what I assume is called dual credit. The stipulation was that the student had to receive a “B” or better. I would think most colleges would require at least a “C” in a course taught in HS. The difference could be the curriculum. Our teacher used her curriculum, not the College’s. I am so glad for him because it’s a lab science and now he doesn’t have to take it in college. Lab sciences are time consuming!</p>
<p>I would talk to a Dean depending on how much faith you have in the advisor. Is the advisor experienced in this type of thing? Is the advisor strictly an advisor, or also a professor. At College 1 the advisors were just profs assigned to certain students (small school). At College 2 the advisor is strictly and advisor, but I still don’t think she knows all the answers to all our questions.</p>
