Want to improve GPA

[marianne202]

Hi and welcome! I'm sure you will find us a friendly helpful group! I would suggest that you consult the ISU catalog for their specific requirements. Each school handles previous credits and duplicate credits differently. You may want to look at taking CLEP / DSST exams. I know some schools do award letter grades for these exams while others will just award pass/fail. When I started at EC I was allowed to remove accepted courses from my degree path transcript. The grades remained on the official transcript but were not used in my degree transcript or my degree GPA. I would be allowed retake a previously taken course and replace it only if it was the same course ie: intro to psych for intro to psych. I couldn't sub abnormal psych for a low intro to psych grade. I would also encourage you to make sure ISU will accept Penn Foster courses. Some schools will only accept certain Penn Foster courses. If that is the case you may want use the CLEP / DSST options for those courses. The best bet is to talk to someone at the school directly or consult their catalog under transfer credit policy. Good luck!
