The failing grade will NOT calculate in your GPA, but it will still show on your transcript.
Retaking a course may raise your student's GPA (grade point average). In many schools, if a student retakes a course, the most recent grade will replace the lower grade in the student's GPA. The earlier, lower grade will remain on the transcript, but will not be included in the GPA.Mar 4, 2010
At some schools, you can seek an incomplete or a hardship withdrawal if you become ill, and may be able to make up the remainder of the course work later or repeat the course. At other schools, withdrawing late in the semester will count towards your GPA as an F.

Credits for retaken courses will count once toward cumulative credits, but will count each time toward semester load. Each grade received in the course will be averaged into the cumulative grade point average. A retake grade does not replace the original grade.
Retake The Course Some schools will allow you to retake a course for a better grade and will delete the F from your transcript entirely. Others will allow you to re-take the class for a higher grade but will keep the F on your transcript, though will not calculate it into your GPA.Jun 25, 2018

If you failed one class, but received strong marks in the rest of your courses, you should be fine. Each institution has its own satisfactory academic process, but for the most part, you should maintain a “C” average to continue receiving aid. If one “F” doesn't bring you below that average, your aid won't change.
