TEL learning for RA credits

[dfrecore]

Maybe not erase but eliminate them from my gpa. Let’s say I have 120 credits with 3 c’s. If I retake or take 3 ra courses and get b’s then shouldn’t the b’s replace the c’s in my degree plan . For example let’s say I got a c in geology and I  take let’s say physics and get a b. Wouldn’t the physics b count toward the degree and the c geology fall off as unused credits. ?

You cannot "erase" or "eliminate" courses from your GPA.  1) Each school calculates their own GPA, and that doesn't "move" to other schools (even if those schools report your grades on the transcript, they do it for internal reasons, to make sure you have a grade high enough to transfer or meet requirements); 2) Schools generally only use their own courses to create a GPA (so TESU will look at your previous credits, but they ONLY create a TESU GPA based on the Cornerstone, Capstone, and any other courses you take there); 3) Each school sets their own policy, so they may have some sort of academic renewal policy, but that means retaking the course AT THAT SCHOOL; it also generally does not include C's as able to be available for that (D's and F's only).

If you want to calculate your overall GPA, if you have all B's and A's and only 2 C's in 120cr, I'm thinking you'll have something between a 3.0-3.75, and there's nothing you can do to get that up except take MORE graded courses and get A's - but honestly, it won't be worth it, and would take a gazillion credits to raise it much.  Make a spreadsheet to do this, and then see how many A's it takes to raise it to see what I'm talking about, or use an online GPA calculator.  It just won't matter for most Grad programs.
