Duplicate question - homeschoolmom1 - 07-28-2025
If someone takes a course via an alternative provider and then changes his/her mind and wants to take it a second time at UMPI to count for the 30 credits, is that possible?

Where was the original question? I might have missed it. Whenever you're taking classes for residency credits, they're within the institution. You can override any ACE classes you bring in with it. For example, someone may have taken a Coursera, Sophia.org, Study.com that may transfer in as 3-4 that can go into the MAOL for later. Because they won't allow the transfer of classes into the 3-4 (required to be taken at UMPI before you can transfer from Bachelors to Masters), you can take the classes at UMPI as part of undergrad, effectively, moving the ACE option out of play.

Yes you can repeat the course at UMPI. It's not a problem. You still need to meet all of the degree requirements.

You'll get a statement "Grade replaced grade of previous attempt," which is under your course.
Source: Me. I did POS 101 to bump my GPA.

Which in no way impacts one's GPA. Only courses completed at UMPI are calculated in their GPA. I, too, repeated a course I took at another university at UMPI. The course I transferred in shows my grade on my transcript and says it was replaced. Transcripts are a bit different now.

It does not impact one's institutional GPA, but it does impact one's career GPA.
Some graduate and professional schools, notably medical schools and law schools, disregard institutional GPA (the GPA posted on a transcript by one particular institution). Instead they collect transcripts and calculate career GPA from all schools attended.

So, is the former GPA calculated in the CGPA or not? Or has it been "replaced"?

The career GPA is typically an average of every graded credit from every school attended with no replacement, meaning every attempt is counted in the GPA.
The centralized application service for osteopathic medical schools used to have limited provision for grade replacement in their career GPAs, which was popular with non-traditional med school applicants.
