What happens if I need to repeat a course? Texas State allows students to take a class three times.

3.5To be eligible for the Dean's List at the close of any fall or spring semester, an undergraduate student must have earned a minimum Grade Point Average of 3.5 in that semester on at least 12 credit hours.
The total quality points earned for a course are computed through multiplying the number of credits for the course by the quality point value of the grade received (ex. An A- in a 3-credit course earns 3×3.7=11.1 points.)
Classes that are worth less credits are typically less time-intensive (less class time and theoretically less time doing work outside of class). So a course that is 1 credit will likely be seen as less time-consuming and less difficult than a class that is worth four credits.
Is a 3.8 GPA Good? GPA is measured on a 4.0 scale, with 4.0 correlating to flawless straight As every semester. A 3.8 GPA is only two tenths of a point below that “perfect” GPA, demonstrating consistent performance at a high level.
