Repeating a course

W & I Grades

Any course that receives a W (withdraw) or I (incomplete) grade will be excluded from the calculation.

What counts in TXST GPA?

Only TXST grades count in the TXST GPA.

Grade replacement

The 2nd grade in a TXST course will replace a 1st grade in a TXST course for GPA purposes. The 2nd & subsequent TXST grades are included in TXST GPA.

CR, PR & transfer courses

Courses taken for CR (credit), PR (progress), and transfer course grades will not count in the Texas State GPA.

What is on my transcript?

All grades you earn, whether calculated in your GPA or not, will be displayed on your transcript. This includes W, I, U, CR, and PR grades.

Examples of how repeating courses affects the TXST GPA
