Usually one bad mark does not have such a bad effect. Two As and one D is a B average.
One 3 credit D, added to 117 credits averaging a B, would have you graduating with a 2.95.
If you took an extra two 3 credit exams and got As on them your average would be back up to a 3.0.
There was only one D, but there were also a lot of C's. I was not an attentive student the first time around. Did much better at the 2nd B&M, but didn't take a lot of classes there.
Yes, Excelsior will allow you to overwrite old credits, but you have to find an equivalent course/exam. I had already received approval to overwrite my intro macroeconomics and intro microeconomics courses using credits from FHSU, and was considering overwriting my old intro to poli sci by taking the Uexcel exam when available. I am not sure if Excelsior will overwrite an old graded credit with a pass/fail credit (does anyone know?). Unfortunately that D was in a course which would be very difficult, expensive, and time-consuming to replace.
