Limits on Course Repetition
- A student may repeat a maximum of six (6) different courses during their undergraduate academic career.
- A student may repeat the same individual course a maximum of two (2) times.
- A student may not repeat a course that was required for a degree or certificate that has already been awarded.
- A student may not repeat a course for which transfer credit was earned.
Grading and GPA Calculation
- When a course is repeated, the best final grade earned will be used to calculate the student's cumulative grade point average (GPA).
- The original course attempt and grade will remain visible on the student's official transcript, and the repeated course will be noted as such.
- If the repeated attempt results in a better grade, the original attempt will be excluded from the earned hour and GPA calculations, but will continue to be included in the calculation of total attempted hours.
- A student may not repeat a course to replace a letter grade (A, B, C, D, F) with a Pass/Fail (P/F) grade. However, a P/F grade may be replaced with a letter grade.
Effect on Prior Academic Standing
Any updates to a student's GPA due to a repeated course will not retroactively change the student's academic standing (e.g., Dean's List, probation status) for prior semesters.
Discontinued Courses
A student may not repeat a course that the university has discontinued unless one of the following conditions is met:
- An equivalent new course has been created to replace the discontinued course.
- The student receives an exemption from the Dean of the college that offered the discontinued course.
Exemptions
To request an exemption from any provision of this regulation, a student must submit a written petition to the dean of the college offering the course. The student must receive written permission from the dean before enrolling in the course.
