Texas A&M policy: No grade replacement (all attempts count)

Both attempts count toward your GPA.

Texas A&M has no grade forgiveness for undergraduates. When a course is repeated, both grades remain on the record and both count in the cumulative GPA (the First-Year Grade Exclusion was eliminated in 2013). Only the highest grade is used for degree requirements, never for the GPA.

Unofficial. Based on Texas A&M University's published policy (as of 2024-25). Policies change, so always confirm with the Texas A&M registrar before making decisions.

Q

Does the original grade stay on the Texas A&M transcript?

Yes. Repeated courses remain on the transcript at Texas A&M; what changes is whether the original grade is counted in your cumulative GPA. At Texas A&M it always counts.

  • The transcript shows every attempt
  • The GPA may exclude the original
  • Employers/grad schools can see all attempts
  • Grade replacement affects the GPA number, not the record
Q

How does retaking a course change my Texas A&M GPA?

At Texas A&M both attempts are averaged into your GPA, so a retake helps less than at schools with grade replacement — but a strong retake still raises your overall average.

Example Calculations

1Retaking a D for an A at Texas A&M

Inputs

Current GPA2.80 over 45 credits
Course3 credits, D → A

Formulas Used

Recalculated Texas A&M GPA after a retake

new GPA = (current points ± course adjustment) ÷ adjusted credits

Texas A&M applies its "no grade replacement (all attempts count)" rule to decide whether the original grade is removed before recomputing.

Where:

current points= current GPA × current credits
course adjustment= change from removing/adding the repeated course under Texas A&M's rule

How Retaking a Course Works at Texas A&M University

Texas A&M University does not offer grade forgiveness: every attempt at a course counts toward your GPA. Texas A&M has no grade forgiveness for undergraduates. When a course is repeated, both grades remain on the record and both count in the cumulative GPA (the First-Year Grade Exclusion was eliminated in 2013). Only the highest grade is used for degree requirements, never for the GPA.

Because Texas A&M counts both attempts, a retake raises your GPA only by adding a new, higher grade to the average — it does not erase the original. The more total credits you have, the smaller the effect of any single retake.

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