If you retake a class, does the "F" still show up on the transcript?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I got a "F" in one of my art classes. I am planning on retaking it but I heard that if you retake the class, the "F" grade still shows up on your transcript even though it does not count towards your overall GPA. Is this true?</p>

<p>And if there is any other way to take the "F" grade off my transcript, please tell me. </p>

<p>I cannot drop the class at this point as there is only one week left in the semester.</p>

<p>I am a A and B student but I just had so many problems with this class...</p>

<p>i think it does.</p>

<p>If you fail art you DESERVE to keep the F.</p>

<p>I don’t know how people fail classes</p>

<p>I turned everything in half @$$'d the day AFTER school ended and make a 81</p>

that was very condescending. You don’t know what went down with OP. All you needed to say is “yes, i think it will” maybe you didn’t mean it the way it came out, but it really was disrespectful to the OP.</p>

<p>Yeah, you’re right.
I’m sorry for being a ******bag.</p>

<p>I didn’t read the last part.</p>

<p>I am really sorry for that man.</p>

<p>I don’t think it shows up. I’m not sure.</p>

<p>Then again I retook Algebra 1 but in AP so I could get an ADVANCED DIPLOMA
But it still shows that I took regular Algebra and Advanced algebra</p>

<p>May not be an extremely similar case but yeah.</p>

<p>its okay @madogmgd!
[at least with me, since i told you off (sorry if that was mean) but i’m sure OP is fine with you too]</p>

<p>Don’t be sorry I needed to be told off.
Constructive criticism :)</p>

<p>haha something is wrong with you</p>

<p>@ Why?</p>

<p>The F shows up on the transcript but the colleges will look to see if you put in the effort of retaking it and if you did (and they see you’re an A/B student) they won’t dwell on it. The fine arts credit that you need is a very general requirement so you could do something better like video, graphic arts, theater arts, theater arts, or theater arts (I think you know my recommendation :wink: )</p>

<p>At first I was confused about failing art, but if your teacher graded me on neatness then I’d fail too, haha.</p>

12

<p>I thought you had to take the same class to “retake” something? are you sure nicetomettyou?</p>

13

<p>I’m sorry I led the conversation in 2 different directions. You would need to take the exact same class over again in order to “retake” a class. But it isn’t like math where you need to take specific math classes to fulfill the requirement. The art requirement could be any approved visual/performing art. I had a possible suggestion of taking something you’re better at. I think retaking that art class might be a better idea but if you feel like you might struggle again, try something else</p>

14

<p>Yes, it will. All attempted credits will be removed and the grade will not count towards your GPA.</p>

<p>The only way to get it off is by appealing it to the school district because of some extenuating circumstances.</p>

<p>It’ll show up. All the grades that you earn in HS will show up on your transcript. Because, if dropped courses and incomplete even show up, then i’m sure that an F would show up.
However, definatially take time & retake the class, because colleges will then see you took time and effort to retake & get a passing grade.</p>
