You may choose to repeat the course a second time. But if you technically passed the class the first time around (i.e. earned either a Credit grade or a D- or better Letter Grade), you will not gain any additional units for taking the class again.
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. Some schools, however, average the two grades and include the averaged grade in the GPA.
As a result, “Pass/Fail” grades can be retaken as their cumulative GPA will not be affected. If students retake a course in which they earned an “F” and withdraws (“W”), the original “F” grade remains for grade point average calculations towards credits attempted and credits earned.
You will still need to repeat the course and will be liable for any fees associated with the course. It is important to remember: Your Grade Point Average (GPA) is calculated in accordance with the Calculation of Grade Point Average Policy (PDF 88k). Fail grades remain on your official academic transcript.
No. Once your degree has been awarded, your record is closed and no further changes can be made.
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.
Fill in the Previous Course Totals with the TOTAL GPA HOURS and the TOTAL QUALITY POINTS from your unofficial transcript online or from your official transcript from the Records Office, Student Services Center room 101. Subtract each repeated course's GPA HOURS and QUALITY POINTS.
How many classes do you have to fail to repeat a grade? To fail a grade a student usually must fail two or more core classes or fail the standardized test in their state. In some cases, the school may make social promotion or summer school available options.
Although it won't impact a student's GPA, some scholarship and financial aid packages require a minimum number of credits (often 12 – or full-time status, according to Croskey), and dropping below that may result in revocation of financial aid. Students should keep this in mind when considering dropping a course.
Students may not use this one-time-only allowance to subsequently repeat a passed course again after having repeated the same course for reasons noted in i) above, i.e., they may repeat a specific passed course only once.
