When a course is repeated more than once, the second grade (first repeat) and all subsequent grades (repeats) are included in computing the hours attempted, grade points earned and GPA. A course taken at Texas State must be repeated at Texas State to be counted as a repeat. A course taken for transfer credit must be repeated as transfer credit to count as a repeat.
