How many credits is one college class worth?

How is a college class "weighted" in regard to GPA?
Each college class is weighted at a 5 compared to a "regular" class being weighted at a 4.
What does this mean for my GPA?
If you do well in the college class, your GPA is boosted more than if you made the same grade in a regular class weighted at a 4.
If you do NOT do well in the college class, your GPA lowers more than if you made the same grade in a regular class weighted at a 4.
Do I have to pay for my dual enrollment classes?

How do I know what classes will transfer to the postsecondary institution of my choice?
Go to the website of the college that you are interested in (i.e. UGA).
Type "transfer equivalency tool" into the search bar.
Click on the link that the website provides.
Type in the institution where you took the class and received credit (i.e. GNTC) and then the class that you are currently taking (i.e. PSYC 1101) to see how that class transfers.
