Grade forgiveness is the process where the initial non-passing grade for a repeated class is excluded from the GPA calculation. For instance, if I earn a D in GEW 101B (a 3-unit course) and later repeat it and earn an A, I will earn 3 units for the A grade and no units for the D grade.

Yes. The grade for the original attempt will still remain on your transcript. Forgiveness does not remove the grade from the transcript, only from the calculation of GPA. 2. How many credits can I request forgiveness for?
If the course in which you earned a Z was taken through the term in which you attained in the first 28 credits attempted at UD, you can retake the course and request grade forgiveness. NOTE: A grade of Z is applicable to students who stopped attending/participating in class and did not officially withdraw from the class.
Students are not allowed to repeat a course in which they already earned a passing grade, unless the course is designated as 'repeatable for credit'. Please see the Repeat Policy for complete details, including undergraduate and graduate specific policies.
Basic Repeat Policies You can only repeat a course one time to replace a grade. Grades in third attempts of a course will not be calculated into your GPA, but will be shown on your transcript. If you earned a grade of D+, D, D-, or F, you must take your repeat for a letter grade.
The second grade always replaces the first grade. However, you can retake a class and get a worse grade. For example, if you have a D (a passing grade) and retake a course and receive an F (a failing grade), you now have a failing grade in the course and will have to take the class for a third time.
When you repeat a course, the second attempt and all subsequent attempts are used in calculating your GPA. The first attempt still appears on your transcript, but it is not used in calculating GPA. However, all other attempts are.
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.
Even if you do fail, you can retake the class and ask for help. Although it will negatively impact your GPA and could affect your financial obligations, you can bounce back. Start by asking for more help and studying differently or harder if you retake the course. Most importantly, don't give up.
Grade Replacement Some schools, such as the University of Illinois, allow students to retake a course they failed and replace the failing grade with the new grade.
When a repeated course is failed, any previously earned credit for that course is lost. Only the most recent grade earned in a repeated course counts towards the cumulative grade-point average, even if the most recent grade is lower than one previously received for that course.
What is a Course Repeat (a.k.a. Grade Forgiveness)? Also known as Grade Forgiveness, a course repeat is the repetition of a course for the sake of improving upon an earlier unsatisfactory performance in which the new grade replaces the old grade in the calculation of the grade point average (GPA).
Visit the registrar's office to find out if the school has a repeat/delete program. Universities that offer the repeat/delete program allow you to take the course you failed one more time. The registrar's office removes the first grade and replaces it with the new one, recalculating your grade-point average.
Failing & Then Re-Taking a Class Croskey notes that dropping a class is better than withdrawing, but withdrawing is better than failing. “A failing grade will lower the student's GPA, which may prevent a student from participating in a particular major that has a GPA requirement,” Croskey says.
Failed grades are calculated in your GPA, if you repeat the course and achieve a passing grade, the failing (or lower) grade is excluded from the GPA calculations. The passing (or higher) grade is included in the GPA calculations. Failing a course(s) can also impact your tentative graduation date and student loans.
The fail grade will remain on your academic transcript and is included in your GPA calculation.
Course Repetition is when you take a course more than once. You can repeat a course with the goal of earning a better grade if you earned a non-passing grade in your previous attempt. All attempts appear on your transcript and are included in your GPA calculation.
