Re: Is it true that you can convert a fail to a DNF???????????

You can redo the subject and get a better mark, but this does not negate the effect of the original fail on your GPA/WAM! Please, you've been told this so many fucking times.


This does not negate the effect of the original fail?

what the fuk?, then what? a discontinue fail is a 0 so if you get 90mark after redo ing that subject you get a mark of 45 (average of them)?

is that what it is???

then who the freak would get a DF if its an auto 0.

No one. Everyone else seems to be getting at least a pass.

Re: If you move from a subject/university to another is your academic transcript wipe

There are various types of Fail grades, each say 'you failed, and this is why...'

Fail: You failed because you got shit marks.
Discontinue Fail: You failed because you elected to fail.
Absent Fail: You failed because you didn't show up to/do something important.

It's just a classification of a Fail grade.

Re: If you move from a subject/university to another is your academic transcript wipe

I think you are mistaken as your own words contradict yourself and cannot answer my question yet.

This is what I have concluded from my own observation. And no I am not just trying to find an excuse to make me feel better.

Getting a discontinue fail meants that you "have failed" meaning it will SHOW UP ON YOUR TRANSCRIPT as a fail and as a result will effect your GPA negatively as it is technically a 0

HOWEVER

If you redo a subject and recieve better marks then your GPA will increase back to the NEW mark that you recieve from redoing the subject.

Am I correct?

No, go back and read what people have written.

OK i've reread everything.

Say i got a DF and then re did that subject and got a much better mark.

So my GPA/WAM will now be calculated with 1 more extra unit of study since they need to include my DF which I am guessing is 0?

IS this right?

bro if you do shit at one uni you're going to do shit regardless if you transfer. being lazy isn't a 'genuine' reason - so many people slack off as well and can at least manage a pass
