UF policy: No grade replacement

Both attempts count toward your GPA.

UF does not offer grade forgiveness - every attempt counts in your GPA as many times as it is recorded (credit is awarded once). You generally cannot repeat a course in which you earned a C (2.0) or higher, and a repeat fee applies after two registrations.

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

Q

Does the original grade stay on the UF transcript?

Yes. Repeated courses remain on the transcript at UF; what changes is whether the original grade is counted in your cumulative GPA. At UF 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 UF GPA?

At UF 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.

  • Enter current cumulative GPA and total credits
  • Pick the original and retake grades
  • The tool applies UF's exact rule
  • See your before/after GPA and the change

Example Calculations

1Retaking a D for an A at UF

Inputs

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

Result

New UF GPA2.88

UF counts both: (126 + 12) ÷ 48 credits = 2.88. The D still weighs on the average.

Formulas Used

Recalculated UF GPA after a retake

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

UF applies its "no grade replacement" 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 UF's rule

How Retaking a Course Works at University of Florida

University of Florida does not offer grade forgiveness: every attempt at a course counts toward your GPA. UF does not offer grade forgiveness - every attempt counts in your GPA as many times as it is recorded (credit is awarded once). You generally cannot repeat a course in which you earned a C (2.0) or higher, and a repeat fee applies after two registrations.

Because UF 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 UF transcript. Grade replacement changes the number used for standing, honors, and eligibility — not the underlying record that graduate schools and employers can see.
