Will my GPA reset when I transfer?
In most cases, yes, your GPA resets when you transfer because your GPA is school-specific, it only exists at that particular school. Credits can be transferred but it’s not common for the actual grades to transfer, which is why the GPA begins at 0 even with transferred credits.
Does your GPA reset every semester?
Every semester, you’ll receive a GPA based on the grades you earned in all of your classes during that semester. Throughout high school, you’ll also maintain a cumulative GPA, which is an ongoing average of all your semester one and two grades beginning with freshman year.
Do grades transfer or just credits?
