Compared with college exams, students who fail in the final exam of each semester will have a chance to take the exam again at the beginning of next semester, which is called make-up exam. If the make-up exam fails, it must be retaken. If they fail to retake the exam after retaking it, they may not get the diploma. 2 1 century, colleges and universities relaxed the requirements for make-up exams, stipulating that graduation certificates and degree certificates will still be issued as long as the failed courses are less than a certain number of credits and the failed courses are completed before graduation. Only when you have completed each course can you get a diploma, and only when your GPA is 1.5 can you get a degree certificate. There are also many universities that do not give degree certificates to students who make-up exams for more than a certain number of credits.
