<p>Hey there I'm in my first year of college at a community college and oh noes I failed a class :/ the thing is I'm transferring to another CC next fall, and then I hope to transfer to uni after that. I'm not sure if my current college will replace the grade if I retake it because I don't explicitly see it on their website. After a little research I've also seen that GPAs don't really transfer between colleges, just the credits. So would my 0 credits in that class technically transfer over?</p>
<p>A little confused but I'm just asking if the better idea is to retake it right now before I transfer, or just take the equivalent after I transfer(wouldn't that give me a fresh GPA and hide the failed class if I don't show people my transcripts from CC #1?)? Either way I'm confident I can pass the class now.</p>
<p>You don’t have “zero” credits in that class. You technically have X many credits but you failed the class. So it’d transfer over as an F but it wouldn’t count against you I think because that’s not the GPA from the new college with courses taken from there. What I meant by count against you is that it wouldn’t penalize you there, but that F does follow you around for the rest of your life on paper and in your cumulative GPA. Your transcript will show the retake and make up for it possibly. </p>
<p>You are required to submit all transcripts from universities attended. They have a way of checking this through the National Clearing House, I think. </p>
<p>I don’t know if you HAVE to transfer it over to your new community college, but I do know when you are wanting to go to university in the future you must submit all transcripts from all institutions attended. You cannot “hide” anything.</p>
