Repeat Policy for GPA Calculations
Students who repeat a course that is not repeatable for additional credit, as designated in the Undergraduate Catalog, will only be able to count the last grade earned toward the degree requirements. But, when a course is repeated more than once, the second grade (first repeat) and all subsequent grades (repeats) are included in the Texas State GPA calculation. Any course that receives a W (withdraw) or I (incomplete) grade will be excluded from the calculation. If the I grade changes to an IF (incomplete failed) grade, the course will be recalculated and will be applied toward the Texas State GPA. Courses taken for CR (credit), PR (in progress), or as transfer courses, will not count in the Texas State GPA.
Example 1:
-
Fall 2005 BIO 1430 receives an F, then in Spring 2006 BIO 1430 receives a D
The F no longer counts in the GPA.
Example 2:
-
Fall 2005 BIO 1430 receives an F, then in Spring 2006 BIO 1430 receives a D, then in Fall 2006 BIO 1430 receives a C.
The F no longer counts in the GPA, but the D and the C are counted as six hours earned toward the GPA calculation. Only the last grade of C counts toward the degree requirements.
Example 3:
-
Fall 2005 BIO 1430 receives an F, then in Spring 2006 BIO 1430 receives a W, then in Fall 2006 BIO 1430 receives a C.
The F no longer counts in the GPA, but the C is counted as three hours earned toward the GPA calculation.
Example 4:
-
Fall 2005 BIO 1430 receives an F, then in Spring 2006 BIO 1430 receives a C, then in Fall 2006 BIO 1430 receives a D.
The F no longer counts in the GPA, but the C and the D are counted as six hours earned toward the GPA calculation. Only the last grade of D counts toward the degree requirements even though the previous grade was higher.
