I'm about to graduate with my bachelors degree and would like to go on to graduate school someday soon. But my gpa is not good enough to get me accepted. How does that work? Do I have to take some classes to get my gpa up to the acceptance point?

Takes courses which you will do well in.
I took CLASS VOICE and CLASS GUITAR... (I'm a professional musician)... took the final for both the second day of class.... to make room for another student... and put my 4.0 for both in the banks and in the GPA.

Before you graduate retake some of those low-score classes.
Or transfer to another school and start fresh...
Or do volunteer research make acquaintances with the faculty and get a recommendation to grad school.
Or better, get a job and use the employee re-reimbursement program to take night grad school classes.
GPAs are an indicator of future potential - but not a sole determining factor. Low GPAs means you will have to demonstrate your capabilities. If you partied instead of studying maybe you should consider changing habits

No, once you graduate, that's your GPA. It's the same as high school- you can't raise your GPA after you are done. You can take additional classes on the graduate level to show that you can do that work, though. But, your GPA won't change.

I believe that you do have to take extra classes to boost your GPA or re-take classes you did poorly in to get them off your transcript. If not then it's a lesson learned about thinking ahead. Possibly consider a different graduate school?

You can't really improve your GPA once you've graduated, but if you do well enough on your subject test on the GRE (Graduate Record Examination) many schools will take that into consideration in looking at your application.

you can take the same class you already take for example if you have C in history you can take again that class to make either B r A . You can ask your academic adviser.
