I have a question about an F appearing on my transcript.
I earned a 3.0 GPA after attending Austin Community College and Texas State University during my freshman year of college. I attended Temple Junior College during the fall of my sophomore year in an attempt to save money while finishing my core curriculum. I was horrified when I received my transcript from TJC. My GPA was a 2.895, which was impossible because my lowest grade for the semester was a B.
After reviewing all of the course grades, I realized I had an F from a dual credit class I had “withdrawn” from four years prior. I had enrolled in/attended the TJC dual credit course through my high school in 2010. Unfortunately, I was not satisfied with my (low but passing) grades so I withdrew from the course after speaking with my high school counselor.
When I contacted TJC about the F, I was informed that removing a failing grade from a transcript is against the school’s policy.
I do not understand why I did not receive a “W” on my transcript instead of an F.
Has anyone faced an issue similar to this and is there anything I can do? I have already retaken the course but I did so at another institution, therefore the dual credit course grade from TJC still stands.
Before I knew about the F my goal was to transfer to UT or A&M. Now I have no idea where to go. I made a 4.0 during the spring of my sophomore year but that only brought my GPA up to a 3.16.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for the help!
