When you repeat a class, only the most recent grade earned is used in calculating your GPA. This is why you can raise your GPA by repeating a class and earning a higher grade.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you repeat a class that you have already passed (with an A, B, C, D or P), you will negatively affect your credit completion rate. This is because each class can only count as completed once.<\/p>\n<p>Both your GPA and your credit completion rate must be above the minimum standards to be in good academic standing.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"accordion__item\" data-animation=\"fade-in-up\" data-animate=\"true\">\n        <button id=\"So,_should_I_repeat_this_class_or_not?_\" class=\"accordion__toggle\" title=\"So,_should_I_repeat_this_class_or_not?_\" aria-pressed=\"false\">\n            So, should I repeat this class or not?         <\/button>\n        <div class=\"accordion__content\">\n            <p>Generally, it can only help if you are repeating a class you failed\u2014unless you do not pass again, of course.<\/p>\n<p>If you are repeating a class you got a D or better in, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.winona.edu\/student-life\/support\/advising-services\/understand-your-academic-status\/calculate-your-completion-rate\/\">consider the impact on your credit completion rate<\/a>.
