EC Swapping Out Grades to Improve GPA Question?

[perrik]

Here is the response I received from EC on 9/1/08:

I have the following 2 courses on my transcript COBOL and PASCAL both with a letter grade of a C? which is listed under Applied Professional. My question, other than retaking these 2 courses to improve my GPA can I replace them with another exam? If not what are my options?

"As of January 2008 we no longer allow students to remove credit from his or her record. You could take the exact same coursework to replace the "C" grades and then we would apply the higher grade to your GPA. However, the older courses would remain on your official record with a repeated course notation. We would not approve you to take different courses to replace the work, as it is coursework you do not need to make degree progress."

Ah, that's clearer, thanks! I'm not going to fret about it until I take a set of graded DSST exams and get the updated GPA. (well, I will fret, but won't whine about it here)
