Able to Choose What Courses are on Your Transcript? - hsing - 10-05-2009
Hello,
All but one course of my college credit will be coming from CLEP, DSST/DANTES, or TECEPs. My credits are being transferred to Thomas Edison State College. However, in order for me to get a GPA listed on my transcript, they require that at least one course is taken through them. This means I have to take an extra course, and then Thomas Edison will hinge the entire GPA on that one course. If I get an A, I'll have a 4.0. If I get a B, I'll have a 3.0. Pretty crazy, but whatever.
It is imperrative for future opportunity purposes that I get a 4.0 as opposed to a 3.0. I am fairly confident that I can get an A, but I am looking for a backup plan in case I do get a B. My questions is, do you know if I can select what courses from Thomas Edison do or do not count towards my degree plan, and therefore decide what gets included on my transript? For example, if I get a B in my course, could I "scratch it," and take another course, without this one affecting my GPA?
Thanks!

Contact TE and ask them if you do indeed get less than an A, can you retake the course and substitute that grade with the hopefully higher one? I know some schools will let you do this but you'll need to to insure what their policy is.
