<p>How do you calculate credits attempted?</p>
<p>For example if I :</p>
<p>withdrew from “3” classes (each 3 credits worth)
Passed “3” classes (each 3 credits worth)
Failed 1 class (credits credits worth)
and then repeated that class and passed it</p>
<p>Are my credits attempted then are my credits attempted 24? (9+9+3+3) or do the withdrew courses/repeats not count?</p>
<p>Say I took 17 credits fall semester and withdrew from one 3 credit class. Then I would have attempted 17 but earned 14, assuming I passed them all.</p>
<p>So basically “attempted” are whatever classes you have registered for? So repeats DO count then?</p>
<p>Yeah from what I understand they do.</p>
<p>Not necessarily. At my CC, if you drop any class before the withdrawal deadline, it doesn’t factor in to the credits you’ve attempt. Since you withdraw before a specific date, there’s no W associated and it doesn’t appear on you transcript. It depends on the school and when you dropped the classes.</p>
<p>Well yea because then technically you wouldn’t have taken that course. He asked for courses he withdrew from or failed. If it’s on your transcript it counts towards credits attempted.</p>
<p>Withdrawing from a class (usually at the 10ish week mark) is different from dropping a class (1-2 week mark). Withdrawals count in your total number of credits attempted, because you attempted to complete them at didn’t for whatever reason. With dropped classes, you didn’t actually attempt them because of disinterest, number of credits, scheduling conflict, etc. Repeating a class would also still count as additional credits attempted, though schools will either take the new grade or average the two when calculating your GPA.</p>

My reply was in response to: “So basically “attempted” are whatever classes you have registered for? So repeats DO count then?” and not the first post. Just because you register for a class, doesn’t necessarily mean that it’ll count towards your attempted credits. THAT’S what I was addressing.</p>
