Yes and no. Every school is different. At Penn State your transfer grades don't show up on your transcript, only your Penn State credits. So everybody answering is sort of right, some schools the grades follow you, other schools leave your grades behind.

No, it is not possible unless you start over without transferring any credits. Also, you might not be able to transfer all of your credits depending on the grade and the differences in curriculum. But even if the credits don't transfer, the transcript from your previous school is part of your record.
A 4.0 isn't going to help much unless you are going for graduate school. Even then, I'd rather see an applicant with at 3.0 and lots of extra-curricular activities than a 4.0 that never got out of the library.

I propose ending your twelve months off and doing despite it takes to develop your GPA. i think of shifting this previous due interior the interest could be too a large number of a worry. you will ought to check and deliver transcripts, be conscious to a diverse college and pay an application fee, organize housing, and start up throughout. you have gotten this a ways, i could purely end what you're doing and get your degree. the only reason i could flow is that in case you do no longer think of you will get into particular required classes with a low GPA, or while you're easily unhappy with the college you're attending. wish this facilitates!

I can't speak for every college, but the college I graduated from only listed thier own courses in my GPA. Transferred credits were not used in the calculation.

A GPA of 2.3 is some sorry grades. What are you doing, partying all night and sleeping in class? Your grades go with you but they can be improved if you buckle yourself down and do some serious studying the rest of the time. You gotta' make up for being a slacker, but it can be done....unless you have only year to go.

Possibly, some colleges take the credits from certain courses, but will not use the GPA for their own records.

No, they shouldn't. Merging the GPA will not indicate how well you performed at the second college, so they leave it seperate. I had some transfered credits but the grades did not follow (sadly because they were As :( )
Good luck at the new school if you switch!

Its possible, some credits might not transfer. By retaking the classes you could have a higher gpa.

No, because some of your courses would transfer with you. Many colleges will not take some of the courses, but they usually take a few and if those weren't 4.0 they'd drag your average down.

if you get an associate, the grade will not carry forward.only the 60 plus creditsnfrom the four year school.ie.3.20 at the 4 year and you get''*** laude''..........................
I admire your optimisn, but I don't think there are many schools that will even take a 2.3 transfer student...........
