Question: I am wondering if I can get a C off my transcript. The class I got a C in was Managerial Accounting. The only reason why I got a C was because I suffered through a serious traumatic event that stopped me from being able to go to class. I did get one F, which I know I can get off my transcript. I understand you can retake a class even though you received a passing grade to get a better grade and the college will expunge the worse grade. However, my question is that is it possible to get a C erased from my record without having to retake it for a better grade? This is because my major is no longer business and I changed it to mathemetics. Accounting will not be a required class anymore. I just want this C off my transcript even though I have less credits because it had a huge effect on my GPA. My overall gpa went from a 3.5 to a 3.3. Any advice on this?
who is ever going to see your transcript?
^ The issue is the grade being factored into the GPA, not the physical presence of the C on the transcript.
Ask your school, OP. We don’t know their grade-replacement policies. It sounds highly unlikely to me that they’ll just erase a grade you earned because you don’t like it and don’t want to retake it.
Whether you can improve your GPA by retaking a class in which you got a C is a university-specific question. Also, the F might still be reported on your transcript along with your new grade for that other class. Old grades typically don’t disappear, but that might be university-specific as well.
True that its university-specific, but I can pretty much guarantee that any university will not take the C off and recalc your GPA without a replacement course. Its not going to happen.
The C doesn’t matter anyway- its very unlikely that your future employer will ask for your transcript during a job interview. Work hard on your future course to bring your Cum up to over 3.5, if that is what you want.
suzyQ7 I am at community college right now and have 38 units so far. I have 1 more year to go until I transfer to a 4 year. The 4 year schools WILL see my transcript. It’s not my fault why I got a C. As for the F they said they will get that off because of my situation and since I documented prove to why it wasn’t my fault and since it’s not a passing grade.
Schools just don’t take grades off of your record. They are not expunged. Perhaps you are hoping that those grades are changed to a W.
CheddarcheeseMN. Yes I am hoping that those grades are changed to W’s. I got A’s and B’s up until my traumatic event that stopped from being able to attend class.
Check with your school. Nobody here can give you a definitive answer.
