averages
So last summer i took a summer school course, does that mark count for this year's average? If not what does it count towards?

Also, when repeating a course (but you didn't fail the first time)..what happends? Does the new mark replace the old or what?

thanks

Not sure about the summer thing...

For the repeating a course, you have to take both courses into account when calculating your GPA.

Summer marks count as a session by itself. So it's not added to the year's average.

CA=GPA

It's your overall average.
