<p>How does UC calculate the GPA with repeated courses?</p>
<p>For transfer applicants, only the most recent grade is counted when calculating the GPA; degree credit for the course is given only once. Repetition of a course with an original grade of C or better is disregarded; the original grade is counted when calculating the GPA.</p>

<p>My counselor says the UCs replace your "F" if you retake the class, same with UC davis, and the same with UC santa cruz. But according to UCLA they don't, and the whole UC system doesn't either. I've read mixed answers online. I finally found the link on how the UCs deal with an F, and just my luck I don't understand what they're trying to say. Could somebody please enlighten me?</p>
<p>My interpretation is that if you retake the failed class, the UC will use the better grade in the calculation of your gpa. However you won’t receive additional credit. So say…you get an F in a 4 unit class. You retake it for an A. The UC will take your A and calculate it into your gpa, but you don’t get an extra 4 credits. That’s what I think.</p>
<p>but i asked my TAP coordinators in berkeley and they said they are just gonna to average all the grades (im applying for college of engineering, and they said its only for college of engineering)… i guess different departments may have different ways to count grades…</p>

<p>That seemed simple enough (and from a credible source as well)</p>
<p>If you retake a course that you originally got a d or f, than the UC takes your most recent score. For example, I got an ‘F’ for Intro to Philosophy. Then, I retook that course and got an ‘A.’ In this case The UCs would only look at my A.</p>
<p>IF you got a c or better, you can’t get rid of that grade in any way (that i know of)</p>
