I wasn't able to withdrawl in a timely fashion due to unforeseen circumstance. Therefore, i have a failing grade for the courses. Fortunately, i passed the same courses with another instituation, but it wont reflect on my GPA. Now that i'm on the move, this is hindering me from applying to the Bachelors/Masters program, because you have to have a GPA of 3.0 or higher to qualify... Please help, I can use some suggestions... I honestly don't want to retake it with them if i already retook the courses at another instituation.
You should be able to transfer the passing course in and kick the failing grade down to being duplicate credit. In just the same way the school offers students the chance to retake a course for a higher grade, you can bring over credits and the highest one will "win" for placement. It won't count for a GPA if it transfers but should overtake the F at TESC. You'll want to check with an advisor on that for the exact policy and whether it will completely cancel out the GPA issue from your failing course. It should but I don't want to provide the wrong advice.
As for your bachelor/masters program admission, it's up to the college whether to accept things or not. If the transfer courses overtake those failing grades then you should be fine once your evaluation is worked out. Without transferring the courses in or retaking the classes with a higher grade there isn't an instant fix on the GPA. You may have to hold off on applying for the bachelor/masters program until your GPA is fixed through either transfer credit or additional coursework. You need to talk to the school about this and develop a plan to get back on track for their requirements.
My completed "non-traditional" credits include 27 credits from CLEP, 30 credits from DSST, 6 credits from ALEKS, 19 credits from FEMA courses including PDS, 3 credits from NFA courses, 10 credits from ACE Workplace Training, 3 credits from a TESC TECEP exam, and 3 credits from a TESC PLA course.
