Hey guys,

like every other nepali student in texas i am attending a community college. a year ago i messed up a semester and achieved the remarkable feat of getting 3 F's in a single semester. i didnt transfer out of that community college and the following semester retook the same courses and got good grades in them.

now my question is, im transferring to a university and i was wondering if the university wwill take into account the F's that i got when calculating my cumulative GPA or will they consider the better grade that i got in the same course and not use the F's for calculating the GPA. some people say that they do some say they don't. im totally stressed out because of that.

Some say that if u took the same course without transferring out of the institution where u got it from then it should be ok. but others say something else.

im just getting freaked out because of all this.

good responses will be highly appreciated.

 Thank you

and how to write in nepali font on sajha?? 

cumulative GPA has to minimum 2.0, means, they will count everything including ur F's and A's

When you transfer to University, your previous GPA does not get transferred. Only your number of credits will be transferred. And they will take better grades into account while you transfer credis. The only thing that sucks is that you will have 3 Fs in the transcript of community college all your life. Hope this helps.

so for example i got an F in a certain subject and then the next semester even if i retook the subject and got an A on it when im transferring to a university they will use both the F and A while calculating the GPA? 

guru It depends on the University you transfering to. Some take the average of two (ist grade and second) and some take the better grade. I cannot tell you about other but if you are transfering to UTA (since u are in Texas ) then they will calculate better grade. Just ask the University you transfering to.

bhakte dai,

bhakte dai..literally man i love u..so u mean UTA ma chai even if i have F's they wont use it for calculating my cumulative my GPA...u just made my day dawg..

guru91 ji, ट्रन्स्फेर गर्न लागेको university लाई फोन गरेर सोधौ न। अनी ढुक्क हून पाईन्छ नि कसो? यो साझा मा सुने को कुरा 100% विश्वाश गर्न मिल्दैन क्या। Best of luck to you!!!

im in the same state bro,,what a co incidence..this thing has been eating me too.. i googled  it just today and found out that..it does not matter to most of the universities..depend on where u are trying to transfer,,if U are transfering to  UTA (arlington) i have heard  from people that the F's do hurt..but when i googled it  all of 'em said they took the better grade..unless you have taken it 3 times or something like that ,,here is the link to the site..this will surely give you some relief..,,hehe,, it did to me!!! dont know if im right!!! i need to find out too!!!

just read the examples carefully!!

hey catch me bro,

Hey Guru bro,

     Who said they take into account everything at UNT? I go to UNT....they only take the better grades coz. I had similar situation like u..........as Bhakte dai said, it really depends upon the university u transferring to......I think UTD takes both the grades.........UTA and UNT take betta grades........I do not kno bout others.........if I was u, I would call the university I m transferring to and ask them........there is nothin to get freaked out at all............gud luck.............

check it out guys, i got it from DCCCD website. It depends on which texa s university you transfer how Repeated Courses Transfer for Admission Credit

If you take a course more than once and transfer the credit, some universities and colleges may treat your credits and/or grades differently than others. Learn more about some of the policies at Texas public universities.    Use only the "last grade" • Texas A & M - Commerce University    (Formerly East Texas State University) • Southwest Texas State University • University of North Texas   Use the "best grade" • Texas Woman's University • Stephen F. Austin State University • Sam Houston State University Hrs. Grade Pts. 3 F 0 3 B 9 3Hrs.   9 Pts.   3.0 GPA   Hrs. Grade Pts. 3 F 0 3 B 9 3 C 6 3 Hrs.   9 Pts.   3.0 GPA   #All grades and hours for a repeated course are included in the admission grade point average, but transfer credit for the course may be counted in the total number of transferable hours only once. • Texas A & M University • Texas Tech University • University of Texas at Arlington • University of Texas at Austin Previous hours and points are not counted for first repeat. All subsequent hours and points will be used in calculating GPA. • University of Texas at Dallas Hrs. Grade Pts. 3 F 0 3 B 9 3 C 6 9 Hrs.   15 Pts.   1.6 GPA   Hrs. Grade Pts. 3 F 0 3 B 9 3 C 6 6 Hrs.   15 Pts.   2.5 GPA   # For admissions purposes, a student's transfer grade point average is determined by dividing the total number of grade points earned by the number of semester hours for which a grade other than withdrawn passing is received. * At some universities, the overall GPA that includes transfer and grades earned at the university calculates into graduation with honors. Transfer GPA is used only for admissions requirements.
