Getting a grade off of your transcript?

Question

Back in '96 when I was 18 I took a college course ( math 106 ) that I received an "F" in. I ended up dropping out of school after that semester. I am now back in school and have just took that same course again over the summer and passed. The problem is, is that the grade I just received this past summer did not replace the grade from back in '96. The math class over the summer was called 106R as opposed to the 106 I took back in '96. The only difference being that the summer course was at a much faster pace than the original one - exact same course work though. My school does not want to replace the grade basically because of a technicality - that being the name of the course....like I mentioned....one is called math 106 & the other one is called 106R. Is there any way to petition to get this one grade off? I know you can petition to get whole semesters off your transcripts, but I am looking only to get one grade - the F from 12 years ago off. Any advice?

Thanks!

Answer 1

i dont think you can

Answer 2

Talk to your professor about the name of the course - maybe she/he can intervene for you by telling them it's the same thing.  Also, most grades expire after 10 years - maybe they can take it off for that reason.

Answer 3

Getting grade off your transcript is quite difficult. You may find it harder though to get gravy off it. However this can be achieved using a mild detergent and luke warm water.

Answer 4

Unfortunately, I do not think you can make that grade disappear because grades do not expire. That is why when you look for a job, they look into your transcripts even if you got them 10-20 years ago. Basically, that grade is a part of your academic history. That's the problem that you can't do anything about. I'm sorry.

Don't worry about it... just get your degree and move on with your life.
