Unofficial. Based on Southern New Hampshire University's published policy (as of 2025-26). Policies change, so always confirm with the SNHU registrar before making decisions.

How Retaking a Course Works at Southern New Hampshire University

At Southern New Hampshire University, the most recent grade replaces the original in your GPA. When a course is repeated to improve a grade, prior attempts are excluded from the GPA and only the most recent grade is used. All attempts still count toward attempted credits. No stated credit or attempt limit.

SNHU's policy means a qualifying retake can meaningfully raise your GPA by removing the original grade's drag. The calculator above shows the exact before/after numbers under SNHU's rule, so you can decide whether a retake is worth it.

Whatever the GPA effect, every attempt stays on your SNHU transcript. Grade replacement changes the number used for standing, honors, and eligibility — not the underlying record that graduate schools and employers can see.
