How does retaking courses work?

<p>Someone want to explain to me how retaking courses COMPLETELY works? I understand it somewhat. Like lets say I take courses at a 4 year university and I did poorly that semester and transfer to another university(financial problems and internal family problems) and I retake some of those courses at a CC or the new University I plan to transfer to. I understand that when I apply to graduate school they want to see all of your transcripts, so my question is, that will it not calculate into my college GPA at my new campus and just show as credits received? Or will it still calculate into my overall GPA? Like lets say I get D's in my first semester at my old campus and just retook them the next semester at my new campus how will it work?
Any help is greatly appreciated thanks!</p>

<p>It depends on the school. Look at their website, email, or call.</p>

<p>Ok, thanks</p>
