Summer Class - grades count towards GPA?

<p>Just curious - canlt seem to find the answer on the Pitt site and I am sure someone here had encountered this...</p>

<p>My son is taking a summer class he needs for his major - Pitt approved the class curriculum.</p>

<p>Does the grade he gets in it count towards his GPA? Or does the credit transfer withou the grade counting?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>As long as the class is not at Pitt or a Pitt branch, I believe only the credits transfer.</p>

<p>That was our thinking too - thanks.</p>

<p>He really wanted to stay at take it at Pitt but our local community college was about $ 750 and Pitt was over $ 4000 + room & board. So home it was.</p>

<p>I’m taking a summer class through CCAC (pittsburgh area CC) and I asked this question to a few friends, one of whom asked Pitt since she was taking a summer class at a CC as well… and… only the credits transfer. Buut the grade might matter when applying to grad school/law school/med school or whatever… not totally positive about that one. Don’t think it matters if you’ll be continuing your education post bachelor’s degree at Pitt though…</p>
