Frequently asked questions

What retake policies does this calculator support?

Six common policies: highest attempt counts, latest attempt counts, average of attempts, replacement, both attempts count, and no change — matching the most common university rules.

Which retake policy does my university use?

It varies by institution and sometimes by program. Check your official registrar policy, or use the International Systems directory to confirm a verified policy before relying on the result.

Does retaking a failed course always improve my GPA?

Usually, but not always by as much as you'd expect. Under a replacement or highest-attempt policy the old grade drops out entirely, but under an average or both-count policy the original grade still partly counts.
