College Question???
alright im gonna end up failing a course this semester and making a "D" in another course this semester...i heard that you can retake the classes and the new grade you make can replace the the bad grades...does anybody know if there is some truth to this??? i guess i'll go see my counselor on thursday to see whats up..but it sucks if i gotta have these bad grades on my transcripts and **** up my G.P.A....i think im gonna have to cut down on the partyin...

usually a school has a deadline to drop classes. ive never heard of being able to replace the F with a new grade. ive heard you can retake the class because anything lower then a C- wouldnt count towards your major requirement(my college) but both grades would stay in your GPA.

you can retake the class next semester and have that grade removed. It will still show on your transcript but not calculated into your Gpa. Unless you are trying to go to MEd school. If you are trying tog o to med school, they calculate EVERY grade you have ever taken in your college life

I have been in the same situation, if you retake the same class you got the D in then that grade will replace the the D, just dont get a lower grade. Originally Posted by HULKBOY

If you settle down a bit and get back on track, you can make amends for it.

Some schools will replace the old grade with the new grade and other schools will take the average of the two grades, I've even heard one school that did a 2/1 score.... the better score x2 + the bad score. The schools I've been to just replace the grade.

My school if you took the class when you were under 50 hours you can retake it anytime and the first grade will be replaced with the second
