Does your GPA transfer over when going to Manhattan College?

I'm a bit confused about how GPA works when transferring to Manhattan College. Do they calculate your GPA from your previous college or start fresh?

2 months ago

When you transfer to Manhattan College, your GPA will essentially "start fresh." This means that the grades you earned at your previous institution won't directly factor into your new GPA at Manhattan College.

However, it's crucial to remember that your previous academic performance, including your GPA from your prior institution, will still be evaluated as part of the transfer admissions process. So while your past GPA won't carry over to Manhattan College, it does play a vital role in your admission decision.

Once you begin your studies at Manhattan College, your GPA will only be calculated from the courses you take there. This provides a fresh opportunity to excel acadically and doesn't bind you to your previous academic records.

Nevertheless, transferring the credits from completed coursework is a separate matter. The courses from your previous college that Manhattan College approves as transfer credits will apply towards your degree requirements, but the grades from these courses won't factor into your GPA. You should get in touch with the admissions office or your academic advisor for detailed information about the process.
