There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the decision of whether or not to do grade replacement is highly individualized and depends on various factors. TMDsas does not have a specific policy on grade replacement, but we do encourage students to speak with their academic advisors to discuss whether or not it would be beneficial in their individual cases. Some factors that may be considered include the student's current GPA, the grades they are hoping to replace, how many years ago the grades were received, and whether the student believes they can improve their grades if they retake the courses. In general, grade replacement may be a good option for students who have received lower grades in a few courses and who feel confident that they can do better if they retake those courses. However, students should be aware that grade replacement is not an automatic process and that they will need to take action to initiate it. They should also be aware of the potential risks involved, such as not being able to improve their grades or potentially damaging their GPA if they do not perform well.

How does grade replacement affect GPA calculation?

Grade replacement allows a student to retake a class in order to attempt to improve their grade in the class and remove the grade from their GPA calculation. The grade from the original class and the grade from the retake are averaged together, and then the GPA is calculated as if the retake never happened. This is beneficial because it allows students to improve their grades and, as a result, their GPA. However, it is important to note that grade replacement does not guarantee an improved grade; it simply gives the student the opportunity to try again. Additionally, grade replacement can only be used once per class, so it is not a guarantee of success.
