How does UC calculate the GPA with repeated courses?
For freshman applicants, if the exact course in which a D or F grade was originally earned is repeated and a grade of C or better is earned, the original grade will not be included in the GPA calculation. When a student seeks to clear the subject deficiency of a D or F grade through validation, both the original grade and the grade earned in the higher-level course will be used in calculating the GPA. For transfer applicants, only the most recent grade is counted when calculating the GPA; degree credit for the course is given only once. Repetition of a course with an original grade of C or better is disregarded; the original grade is counted when calculating the GPA.
