Transfering GPA or course credits? Which way is done?

<p>Okay, I am thinking about transfering. Can you guys explain to me if my GPA from this current college can be transferred to the other college I apply or only credits for certain courses can be transferred? My current college has some weird classes that they make u take, but unfortunately they are not thought in other colleges.</p>

<p>Your GPA is almost certainly not going to transfer. You'll start over again, just like the beginning of freshman year.</p>

<p>Most colleges are only going to give you credit for classes similar to ones in their own catalog (with a grade of C or higher). Although I have seen a couple that will give you credit for anything that you take if you earn at least a C. But most will only take similar classes.</p>

<p>Pretty much what yourfire_escape said. You can read the Transfer Admissions 101 sticky for a bit more detail on how this is usually done.</p>
