Do junior college credits affect my transfer GPA?

I'm wondering if the grades I earn in junior college will impact my GPA when I transfer to a four-year college. Do these grades count towards my new school's GPA?

Your junior college credits can certainly affect your eligibility to transfer and your admission to a four-year school, as universities will look at your GPA from junior college while considering your application.

However, once you've transferred, whether or not these grades count towards your GPA at your new school often varies depending on the policies of the specific four-year institution. In many cases, your GPA effectively "resets" when you start at a new institution and only grades earned at that institution will count towards your GPA. Your prior credits from junior college will typically be accepted for credit, but the actual grades you received often do not get factored into your GPA at your new school.

But again, be aware that the policy could vary, and in some instances, the grades you've received at your junior college might impact your GPA at your new school. So I'd recommend checking out the policies of the four-year schools where you're planning to apply, or contacting their admissions offices to get a clear answer.
