What happens when a F-1 student repeats a class which he fails or gets a "D"? Does the new grade replace old?

F-1 students must keep a minimum GPA average (this is dictated by the university) to maintain their F-1 visa status. Besides this, nothing should happen if you decide to repeat a course. The new grade will not replace the old one, but if you get a better grade, this should bring your GPA up.

That was unfair of your teacher but we are all human.  The problem may simply be that you are in a difficult grade right now.  Some grade levels tend to be more difficult than others, usually 5th and 7th for example.  Most teachers who play teacher's pet don't do that with grades, only privileges.  If you liked your previous teacher, maybe you tried harder. I'm sure if you do your best you will find that your grades will reflect that.

How is everyone else doing in the class? I have heard of teachers that grade really hard and then curve a lot at the end of the year. So a %50 turns into an A grade.\nI suggest talking to the teacher and seeing what the teacher has to say.\nAlways-> If you are doing badly in a class you should always go to the teachers office hours. If a teacher knows you and knows that you are trying, they are more likely to give you a better grade. Even if you aren't doing badly, go to the teacher's office hours! There is a big difference between a B+ and an A-.\nConsider a tutor. Some colleges have free tutoring!!! Use all of your college resources, you are paying for it.\nIf you can still withdraw/drop from the class you should consider doing that. Don't just quit going if you can't drop the class!! If you can't drop or withdraw from the class formally with your registrar’s office then continue to show up if you have to retake the class. The more you learn now the better it will be the next time you take the class. \nBeware if you don't drop or withdraw the class officially, many schools, if you are retaking a class will average the two scores together. So if you get a 1.00 this time and an 4.00 (A) next time your overall grade is considered to be a 2.5. \nAs for Financial aid depends on the school. Many schools will give you one semester to mess up. They will consider you on probation and take action if you don't improve. \nAlso if you drop the class you could lose some financial aid and have to pay whatever the school makes you pay for a late drop out of your pocket.\nSee a Financial Aid counselor.

It truly depends on two things: 1) Is it a class for your major? 2) If you decide to retake it, will it fit into your schedule?\n\nIf it is a class for your major, I would highly recommend you retake the class. If it isn't, and the lost credits won't affect your strategy for graduation, forget it.\n\nIf the class won't fit into next semester's schedule, then it may not be a good option to go back and take it.\n\nHope that helps!

If they haven't already, you will be non rec-ed.  (not recommended for promotion) if you aren't already, you'll be on some form of remedial pt.

See the subject you failed in and work on it .... you can always go back for that same year again ,, but if you think that those subjects were not what you wanted .. you should change your major and take the credits of the subjects you already took.... Failing is not a big deal because FAILURE IS A STEP TO SUCCESS but GIVING UP IS A STEP TO FAILURE... so go ahead and repeat the same year or change your major to the year you want.

They grade it on a curve.  The majority get 3's.  The same ammount get 2's and 4's and the same ammount of students get 1's and 5's.  So it is diffferent every year.  I got a 3.

Though this is unheard of in most school districts, there are typically two ways this can happen in some other districts (and rarely in college.) \n\nThe first way: Some school districts grade on a 5 point scale instead of 4. In that way an F gets 1 point, D = 2, C = 3, B = 4 and an A = 5 grade points. On the regular scale F would get 0 points and an A would get 4 points.\n\nThe second way: Some school districts award additional grade points for Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate and Honors classes. In that way if a student gets an A in an AP class they get 5 maximum grade points per class instead of just 4.

I would go to your dad and say "Dad I didn't do very well on my test.  I would like for you to review it and help me with the ones i got wrong.".\n\nThat way your dad will show you how to answer the wrong one for another time (teachers have a way of bringing  up old questions) and then ask your dad if you can get extra help on this class.\n\nA 71 is not too bad.. i mean it isn't like you got an F right?\n\nAs long as you ask your dad to help you with the wrong one it will show him that you are looking for help.

Though some of the answers above are partly right, here's a better explanation.\n\nA, B, C, D are called Letter Grades where in Students scoring within a range are given a particular "grade" not "marks" for the course/subject.\n\nEach letter grade typically stands for a number a.k.a Point,\n\nA = 4\nB = 3\nC = 2\nD = 1\n\nF = Fail, so course need to be taken again or something.\n\nAn average of all these grade points (numbers 0 to 4)  in all subjects is calulated and is given as the GPA (Grade Point average) , typically on a scale of 0 to 4.\n\nSo a 4.0 GPA is the highest (exceptions are there where more could be scored) and is available for a "straight A" student.\n\nNote that some institutions also award partial grades like A-, B+ etc which are typically 3.75, 3.25 etc

Like the last person who answered, I work in higher ed as well...UC's...in admissions...and I can tell you this:  A "D" is not a passing grade.  You will never get credit for a class if you have a "D"...you may still be able to get in, but a "D" grade does not meet the "A-G Requirement."  Talk to your admissions counselor.

it depeends in your school.\nbut it may be equivalent to an A, or it may stay the same but is just regarded as higher than an A than in a regular class--for colleges

still gotta pay.  you take the class and they withhold judgement, if you dont get another in a year it goes away, off your record.

Any child who needs to repeat kinder needs a new teacher or a new school. Under "No child left behind" this defifitely is  an example of ONE child who has been "Left Behind" !

Yes, it means your class has been cancelled.  It normally happens just before or right at the beginning of the semester.\n\nIn very rare circumstances it can happen in the middle of the semester.

Don't worry about the "correct" grade.\n\nBeing held back s one of the best things  that can happen to  a child.\n\nIt guarantees that he will be one of the older kind in his class.  Things come much easier to the older kids.  The younger kids are always scuttling along, trying to keep up.\n\nWhy make things harder than they have to be?
