How do Bunker Hill Community College transfer grades work?

I'm considering starting at Bunker Hill Community College before transferring to a four-year university. Does anyone know if the grades I earn at BHCC will transfer with me, or is it just the credits?

When you transfer from Bunker Hill Community College (BHCC) to a four-year university, the credits you've earned should transfer over, but typically, your specific grades do not. In most instances, the credits will transfer as a pass and will not be calculated into your new GPA at your four-year college.

However, every institution has its own policies, so it can be beneficial to reach out to the admissions or registrar's office of your prospective four-year university to solicit more specific information tailored to their policies. Additionally, BHCC could have established transfer agreements with certain institutions, so it's worth reaching out to your academic advisor at BHCC or exploring their transfer services.

Maintaining a strong GPA at BHCC will be crucial, however, as it can affect your admission into competitive programs or the ability to receive scholarships at your future four-year institution. For example, many colleges have minimum GPA requirements for transfer students, so it's important to strive for the best grades possible. It's not just about earning the credits—it's about demonstrating your commitment and ability to succeed in higher level coursework.
