    Summer school at USAFA

    Question...How does summer school work at the academy. Can a cadet use it to take a class to make the load better for the next term? Can a cadet use it to re-take a failed class? If taken for a failed or sub-standard grade will it replace the poor grade in the GPA going forward? Regards John
