Duplicate courses

[Merlin]

To clarify what I was saying, my reasoning for duplicate course was for higher GPA purposes on my credits that transferred in.  Both of the classes however are on my transcript. I had a less than stellar freshman year of college 20 years ago...

I promptly flunked out of college as soon as I started.  No worries, though, as I was able to get my GPA up over time through CC courses.

But TESU will bring in everything, so it's not like you get to choose to stick things down in "other courses" and it doesn't affect your GPA.  Everything that has a grade affects it.

The transcript does not look like the evaluation/degree plan as you see that.  It just lists everything ever brought in.

I'm not sure that is universally the case. In my experience, both TESU and COSC drop any incoming courses under a D. They don't appear on your evaluation or academic transcript. I know this because I also didn't do that great in my freshman year. I had an F and a D- on my incoming transcript, but neither of those courses appear in my TESU or COSC evaluation nor do they appear on my official transcript from TESU. Of course, those courses are still on their original transcripts and will count as part of my transfer GPA, but TESU doesn't recognize them.

Also, to clarify what I was saying above regarding "other courses". Any courses that are evaluated but are not included in the degree program will be listed in "other courses". This means that they will still appear on your transcript but just don't count towards your degree.

Also make sure that when we are talking about GPA, we're talking about the right thing.

• Transfer GPA includes classes taken at every school you submit transcripts for when applying to a new school. The transfer GPA is generally only considered when you first apply to a new school.
  
• Institutional GPA only counts courses taken directly from your current school. This is the only GPA that matters at TESU in terms of meeting degree requirements and being able to register for the capstone.
