Failing a class and retaking it

<p>Does the F in a class show up on my transcript if I take the class again and get a higher grade like a B? Is the F factored into my GPA?</p>

<p>it shows up i think, but it doesn’t get factored in if you retake</p>

<p>So if you transfer to another college for grad school, the F is still factored in?</p>

<p>not exactly, they will recognize the retake mostlikely</p>

<p>My understanding is that it will replace the grade up to 12 units. So that is what your transcript will show, the later grade.</p>

<p>What’s the lowest grade you can get to be able to retake the class? I mean, should I just give up, knowing that I’ll do a retake, or just keep working, and maybe miraculously pull a C?</p>

<p>Also depends what your future plans are. Medical school and, I believe, law school will factor both grades into your GPA.</p>

<p>Swimcatsmom is correct. For medical admission retake a class grade is average in.</p>

<p>This is what I found googling, not particular to BYU but medical admission in general</p>

<p>what about an NP in a variable unit self-paced class? how do med schools factor this into the gpa…does it get looked at an F or a D+ or what?</p>
