Hey gang, my apologies if this question is in the wrong place. Anyway, I am trying to enter my coursework using the AACOMAS website and I've got a slight situation. I retook three classes during undergrad and its listed as an RT on my transcript. My college scrapped the original grade and replaced it with the newer one (the better one in my case
). Since I can't add the course until I enter an actual aacomas grade, what would be the best thing to put under "aacomas grade?"
For your convenience here's a snippit from the help page:
Classification -- Select one of the following classifications for any course for which they are applicable.
Advanced Placement: Advanced credit granted by examination, including the College Level Equivalency Program (CLEP). The subjects and credit hours you received for these courses must appear on your official transcript. If these do not appear on the transcript, an official letter from the registrar is required. Advanced credit appearing on the transcript without subject or course names will be classified as non-science unless official documentation is received. If a letter grade is shown on the official transcript, the letter grade should be listed in the AACOMAS Grade column and included in your GPA calculations. If a grade is not shown on the official transcript or the course is indicated as being passed, then enter the semester hours and, under AACOMAS grade, select "Advanced Placement". If the AP credit was a special category, indicate.
Audit: Select 'Audit' in the Type column as well as in the AACOMAS Grade column.
Exempted: any course shown on your official transcript as being waived or exempted from taking.
Deferred: courses that extend beyond one semester or term for which a grade is given upon completion. For example, master's thesis or research courses.
Honors: any course taken in an honors program.
Incomplete: any course appearing on the transcript with a grade of Incomplete. A grade of absent is considered an Incomplete.
Pass/Fail: courses in which you were graded on a Pass/Fail system, including Credit/No Credit, Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory, and High Pass/Pass/Fail, grading systems. The grade of "P" should be listed for Pass and "N" for Non-pass or Fail in the AACOMAS grade column. However, if the grade of FAIL is either included in the GPA calculations or considered to be equivalent to the letter grade of Fail at your institution, the letter grade of "F" should be listed in the AACOMAS Grade column and included in your GPA calculations.
Repeat: Courses repeated for academic improvement or grade change must be listed each time taken. Courses repeated for additional credit, but not for a better grade, such as physical education or chorus, are not considered a repeat. Applicants should list the original class as a repeat i.e. "Repeat" and then list the final time it is taken as "Last Repeat". All repeated courses should be coded in sequence. Please see the examples below:
Repeat Example 1
Fall Semester 1999 ENGL 1113 English Composition I: Code as "Repeat 01"
Spring Semester 2001 ENGL 1113 English Composition I: Code as "Last Repeat 01"
Repeat Example 2
Fall Semester 2000 CHEM 3153 Organic Chemistry I: Code as "Repeat 02"
Fall Semester 2001 CHEM 3153 Organic Chemistry I: Code as "Last Repeat 02"
Please contact the AACOMAS office (
[email protected]) if you have any questions about repeated courses.
Repeat/To Be Completed: If you are repeating a course but have not yet completed it, code RNY in the type column.
Withdrawn: Courses that are dropped without penalty (including Pass/Fail courses).
Withdraw/Fail: if the grade of "WF" is granted and is included in the GPA at your institution, the letter grade of "F" will be listed in the AACOMAS Grade column and included in your GPA calculations.
If it helps, I didn't fail any classes, not even close, I'm not 100% sure but I'm confident that all my retakes were C+'s and only by fractions of a percent :S... really unfortunate I know.
Thanks!
