How to Get Failing Grades Taken Off of Your College Transcripts

After you register for a college class, a number of things can occur out of your favor. For example, you may have financial troubles or simply have difficulty understanding the subject at first. When you receive a failing grade on your college transcript, it can greatly affect your overall GPA. However, it does not need to remain this way; there are a couple of different measures you can take, to expunge the failing grade from your record.

Instructions

    • 1

      Talk to a counselor at your college. If you have an acceptable reason for having failed the class, such as medical emergencies preventing you from attending the semester, you may be able to remove the failing grade.

    • 2

      Petition the grade. Depending on your college, there will be different criteria for which you must qualify, in order to appeal the grade. While this method will not outright remove the grade from your transcript, it will no longer bring down your GPA, if successful.

    • 3

      Retake the failed class. If you were unable to attend due to financial difficulties, save up well in advance, to prevent the problem from happening again. Alternatively, seek free financial aid. If you were unable to pass the class due to difficulty understanding the material, take extra care to study hard. Ask classmates, or the professor to help you get a better understanding. If you complete the class with a higher grade, the transcript will reflect this higher grade.
