Hi...
Here's a question that I can't find an answer to.
In my first year I failed 3 classes. I later retook them and got grade forgiveness. When trying to find my Freshman "year" so that I can calculate my Freshman GPA, do I include those original 9 credits (without calculating them into my GPA of course), or do I ignore them completely?
If I include them into my "Freshman year" based on my first 30 credits alone, then my Freshman year includes my 9 AP credits, 12 credits from first semester, and 9 credits from second semester. Total is 30 credits. My GPA would not include the AP nor the forgiven classes.
However, if I don't include them as part of my "Freshman year", I'm left with 23 credits, and I believe that I would have to then include the following semester (in which I took 15 credits) into my Freshman year GPA. This would total 38 credits towards the Freshman GPA.
Basically, the question is, when figuring out our academic status (Freshman, Sophomore, etc.) do we only include the credits we passed? Or are all attempted courses counted? What about WP's or W's? Do we ignore the courses we've been forgiven or have dropped out of when figuring out "which are my first 30 credits"?
Help?
