<p>Note: I was unsure about where to ask these type of questions. I believe that this belongs in the high school life forum, but I could be completely off base. In that case, I would appreciate it if I could be directed to the correct place.</p>
<p>I have a few questions about taking dual-enrollment courses while still in high school:[ul]</p>
<p>[<em>] If I have taken DE classes on a college campus while still in high school, and the college I attend accepts these credits, will these courses and the grades I earned explicitly show up on my official college transcript? Or will I simply receive the credits?
[</em>] If I have taken DE classes through a local CC at my high school, and the college I attend does NOT accept these credits, will these courses and the grades I earned show up on my official college transcript?
[li] Additionally, for both circumstances above, will these courses and grades be taken into account when calculating my GPA for applying to grad school (not med/law school)?[/li][/ul]
Thank you in advance for the help.</p>

<li>It will depend on the college, if you have a college list you can research this for the individual colleges or contact admissions at these schools</li>
<li>No in that case it will not show up on your transcript</li>
<li>This only applies to the first situation, it would probably depend on the grad program</li>
</ol>
<p>As a general note about DE…Know that you can always choose not to use the credit for a college credit if you end up being unhappy with your grade</p>
<p>I just had basically all those questions answered for me as I am a dual enroll student.
- If taken at a community college, usually just the class is tranfered,not the GPA. I think if you want to go to grad school they’ll look at your community college transcript too though. I’m not sure what happens if you take it at a university and tranfer those credits to another university.
- I think it might. Idk haha. Call the college.
- Okay, here’s what the college I’m planning to go said to me. He said they will use my grad school pre-req grades from community college but the other grades don’t tranfer. I think they will come up with different GPAs from each seperate school. Not sure though.</p>
<p>Thank you both so much! You’ve been a big help (and relief!). Looks like I’ll have to check with BC for specifics on my situation, but this has been informative nonetheless.</p>
<p>:D no problem! Glad you’re working things out!</p>
