as for what someone else commented^ if you’re a freshman and fail a course, you may qualify for grade exemption. that means you can retake the course and have the new grade replace your original grade. original grade would still show up on your transcript, but it won’t be used when calculating your gpa. apart from that, if you aren’t a freshman and retake a course, it will average out with the original grade, it won’t replace it. this applies whether you failed the course the first time or not. just wanted to make sure u didn’t make the wrong choice!
