Do grades transfer along with college credits?

I'm planning to transfer to a different college, and I'm curious if my grades transfer along with my credits. Like, will my GPA at my current school affect my standing at the new one? Just trying to figure out how this all works.

While the specific policy can vary by institution, typically when you transfer credits from one college to another, your grades from your previous institution do not get factored into your GPA at your new institution. When a college accepts transfer credits, they usually just accept the credits for the course completion, not the specific grade.

However, the grades you earned at your previous institution can still play a considerable role in the admissions process, as they're part of your college transcript, which transfer admissions committees will review when making their decision. It's also important because some schools or specific programs have minimum grade requirements for transferable courses.

But again, policies can differ by institution, so it's always a good idea to check with the admissions office or a transfer student counselor at the school you're hoping to transfer to. They should be able to provide detailed information regarding their policy on grades and GPAs for transfer students.
