GPA Restart?

<p>I've heard from someone that when you transfer from a CC to UC, your GPA will restart.</p>

<p>I've heard from another person that this is indeed true, but your CC GPA still appears next to UC GPA. So there are 2 sets of GPA for potential graduate schools and/or employees to look at.</p>

<p>Can someone clarify this?</p>

<p>Yes, your GPA restarts to a clean slate. Only UC to UC transfers have their GPA’s computed over. When applying for admissions to graduates school, you must provide all transcripts of post-secondary institutions (that means your CC transcript + UC transcript) attended to gain admissions.</p>

<p>oh i always thought your CC GPA average carried over - bummer. i had a 4.0</p>

<p>Yeah, when you go to UC, your GPA starts from 4 (or 0 - however way you wanna look at it) but when you apply for graduate school, they calculate your whole GPA together.</p>

<p>what about for CSU –> UC transfers?</p>

<p>No CSU to UC does not transfer… It only transfers if it was from the same institution ( UC to UC, CSU to CSU )</p>

<p>what about from an out-of-state private school? I’m guessing it starts over?</p>

<p>CKG - same thing applies. It must be same institution. So this would render the out of state to UC GPA converting over.</p>

<p>I wish CC GPA transferred over.</p>

<p>Think about it this way. Your GPA does not start over, but you have different GPAs. You have a cumulative undergrad GPA–which is something most grad schools will ask for–and you also have a UC GPA. Per policy, your UC GPA is what your UC is going to consider for latin honors, graduation requirements, etc.</p>

<p>Does anyone know if grad schools calculate F’s or D’s even if you received an academic renewal for those grades in the past?</p>

<p>They will calculate it, but use a different method, probably avg it.</p>
