Repeating a course
UA does not remove a repeated course's original grade from your GPA. Only the credit hours from your most recent attempt count toward earned hours, but all attempts are averaged into your cumulative GPA. Separately, a one-time Academic Bankruptcy lets a currently enrolled student wipe an entire past term, converting all its grades to W — usable once per academic career, and not for the current or immediately preceding term.
Pass/fail grades and your GPA
As a sophomore, junior, or senior with a 2.0 or higher GPA you can take elective-only courses Pass/Fail, up to four courses or 12 credit hours, limited to one per fall, spring, and summer term. A P does not affect your GPA, but an F earned under the option does count against it.
