Is an F bad on a transcript?
I got an F in my first semester and I retook the class and got an A. If you retake the class it will show your new grade and that grade will be counted towards your core GPA and will replace your lower grade when calculating your GPA but it will still show up on your transcript.
What does an F do to your GPA?
GPA is calculated by assigning a number to grades and then averaging them. An A is a four, B a three and so forth, leaving a failing grade as a zero. Therefore, five courses in which you had a B, B, C, A and F would add up to a 2.4 GPA if all the courses were for the same amount of credits.
