Which statement about transfer grades and your PHSC GPA is true?

• A. They are counted toward your PHSC GPA.
• B. They do not affect your PHSC GPA.
• C. They automatically raise your GPA.
• D. They determine your class standing.

Answer: (B)

GPA is calculated from the grades earned for courses taken at PHSC, so grades from other institutions don’t enter that calculation. Transfer grades may count toward total earned credits and appear on your transcript, but they don’t raise or lower your PHSC GPA. That’s why the statement about transfer grades not affecting your PHSC GPA is true. Class standing, on the other hand, is usually based on how many credits you’ve earned, which can include transfer credits, so it isn’t determined by transfer grades themselves in the context of GPA.
