Transfer GPA

Transfer Students

<p>Hi there!</p>

<p>I'm currently in my second semester at a community college (Athens Technical College). I found this route to be best for my financial situation. Since my admittance here, I planned on transferring to a university (University of Georgia). That's where my questions arises. When I look on the university's admission website, a requirement is listed for a transfer GPA. Does this 'transfer GPA' consist of every course I take here at my community college (ex. core classes and courses specific to the degree program I'm in that don't transfer), or does it only reflect the grades I received in courses that transfer to the university (ex. core classes)?</p>

<p>Thank you in advance for your help!</p>

<p>The latter. Transfer credits can be tricky but generally they will count anything thats academic in nature including core classes and degree specific classes. </p>

<p>They may limit credits for things like phys ed and music instruction. </p>

<p>They typically dont take anything that isnt academic. For example, a cc course on handgun safety. </p>

<p>If you want a better answer contact UofG and ask for an transfer evaluation for your current transcript.</p>
