The “above statement” is not true!
As I said in my post, both scenarios happened to me since one was repeatable & one was not repeatable. I retook my non-repeatable & both my 1st attempt & 2nd attempt are included in my GPA. I was livid & my academic counselor walked over to Admissions & fought for me but Admissions wouldn’t budge. Both attempts are included in my GPA for that non-repeatable course.
Some people offer their conjecture without having experienced it themselves. Especially, the ones who rarely cite their source on policy from the college’s websites.
Just email Admissions instead of being confused by non-experienced advice!
