Grade calculation after retaking a course
Hi, I finished my first year with a full course load, meaning that I attained 30 units. However, I did poorly on one especially, that brought my cumulative average down a lot to a 5.8 while I need a minimum of 6.0 to get into my second year programs. If I were to retake that course in summerschool, how would that affect my cumulative average if I were to get a better mark than the original?
I know that to calculate your cumulative average, you add up the grade points from all your courses and divide by the total number of units. So does that mean that I would add the mark from the summerschool course to the ten marks from my first year and divide by 33? Or would my summerschool mark replace the original one, so that I just divide by 30?
Thanks for any help on this
p.s. I would really appreciate if someone could tell me who I could contact at McMaster for more information
