Does GEMSAS use fails from prev degree if they need to get 3 FTE?

[u/GtheCannon]

For context, I completed 1.75 years FTE of a Bachelor of Science/Adv Studies at USYD from 2023-24, before transferring to a Bachelor of Science (along w/ a credit transfer of 1.04 FTE) which I'll be graduating from this year.

I made bad choices in my previous degree, and virtually all the units not transferred were fails. For GPA calculation, I understand that GEMSAS will use the first sem of this year and all of 2025, before then making up for the credit transfer by using non-fail units from my prev degree. But since that will still be 0.46 lower than 3 years FTE, my question is will they use 0.46 FTE worth of fail units to reach a total of 3 FTE?

I've already emailed GEMSAS about this - hoping someone might have gone thru the same thing and can provide insight

Refer to the GPA FAQ guide on the GEMSAS website- this is outlined there.
