Tesc gpa

I am very close to graduating and planning on finishing my last 3 classes using credit by exam for my BA in Psychology in the next month. Unfortunately when I ultimately enrolled at TESC I got an F my first semester since I had a hard time adjusting to the format and pretty much got lazy about withdrawing from the course. Since I've only taken a small handful of classes through TESC this F has made my GPA a 1.75. My questions is if I retake this course as a TECEP or other credit by exam will they cancel out the previous F to help my GPA or will I have to enroll in this class again and try to score higher? I have emailed an advisor but since it is the weekend I am not planning on receiving a response for a few days. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Luckily, you CAN repeat the course to get a better grade.

Course Repeat Policy
Students may repeat, without limitation, a course for the purpose of raising the course grade. Only the highest grade will be calculated in the GPA. All grades will appear on the official transcript. Students must also adhere to any repeat policy standards established by their School or specific method of earning credit.

Duplication of Credit
Repeated courses will appear on the transcript marked as “repeats.” Semester hours will only be assigned in the case of repeated Thomas Edison State College courses. Repeated transfer courses or assessment credit will appear as repeats with 0 semester hours assigned.



Actually, looking at the following, you MUST repeat the course in order to graduate:
