I just finished my first semester of college and I can't even explain how I feel. My GPA pretty much....sucks. I got two As and two Cs, which killed my GPA.
I will be moving to California in January so I was wondering if in order to be admitted to another college, one must send both HS and college transcripts? Is it possible to apply as a "new college" student? Can I just send my High School transcript and not my college transcript?
I have heard that many colleges don't even take your old GPA; only the credits you got. Is this true?

You should provide your college transcripts.
Whether or not they include the courses you've taken on your new transcript will depend on whether or not they transfer the courses. It would be a shame and expensive to have to take the courses you got an A in over.
Talk to an Admissions Counselor at the college to get the right answers for your situation.

You cannot just REDO college again. You have to apply as a transfer. And yes, they will be looking at your "crappy" GPA. But no worries, as long as you do through the application - briefly explain why you think your grades suffered, then you should be ok. They may also want you to provide your High School Transcript. But for sure, you cannot just simply start over and make it as if college never exsisted yet. Good luck with everything!

Yes you can. When you graduate eventually and apply for jobs, etc, just use the transcripts from your most recent school.

Sure you can. Why wouldn't you?
You can go to any college that you can afford.
