Community College Transfer GPA

Calculate your official Transfer GPA. Remember to exclude remedial classes, as universities only count college-level coursework for admissions.

Important: Only enter college-level, transferrable courses. Do not include remedial classes (e.g., Math 090), Pass/No Pass courses, or Withdrawals (W) in this calculator.

What Counts Toward Your Transfer GPA?

When calculating your GPA for a university transfer application (like the Common App, UC Application, or ApplyTexas), you must follow specific rules that might differ from what your CC transcript says.

DO Include:

  • All 100-level and 200-level college courses
  • Failing grades (F's) in college-level courses
  • Courses taken at multiple community colleges
  • Withdrawal-Fails (WF) if your school counts them as Fs

DO NOT Include:

  • Remedial courses (e.g., Math 090, English 099)
  • Standard Withdrawals (W)
  • Pass/Fail classes (P/NP) where you passed
  • Academic Renewal courses (if officially wiped)

Frequently Asked Questions

Your transfer GPA is calculated using all transferable college-level coursework. Most universities will look at your cumulative GPA across all community colleges attended. Remedial or developmental courses (usually numbered below 100) are typically excluded from this calculation.
No! This is a common misconception. When you transfer to a 4-year university, the CREDITS transfer, but the GPA does not. You will start your new university with a fresh 0.0 institutional GPA. However, your community college GPA is permanently used for admission decisions and grad school applications.
It depends heavily on the university and your major. Many state schools guarantee transfer admission (like the TAG program in California) if you maintain a 3.0 or 3.2 GPA. Highly competitive universities or majors (like Engineering or Computer Science) may require a 3.8+ transfer GPA.
If you utilized your community college's Academic Renewal or Grade Forgiveness policy, the 4-year university will usually honor that and only look at the new grade. If you simply retook it without official forgiveness, both grades will likely be averaged into your transfer GPA.
