Repeating Courses

A student may repeat any course where the grade of C-, D+, D, D-, or F is earned. The course may be repeated one time.  When a course is repeated, both grades will remain on a student's official transcript and will be calculated in the semester and cumulative GPA calculation.  Students who want only the better grade to be used in the GPA calculation must submit the "Repeat Grade Form" to the Registrar's Office.  Students must turn in this form no later than 30 days into the semester immediately after the repeated course was taken. The grades of all courses attempted will remain on a student's official transcript and used in the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) calculation. Grades of I, W, NG or NC do not replace an earlier grade.

If a "Repeat Grade Form" is not turned into the Registrar's Office prior to the 30 day deadline, the student may appeal for a grade forgiveness to the Vice President/Dean of Academic Affairs.

Important notes: The Course Repeat Policy will go into effect Fall 2024.  This policy does not impact course retakes prior to the Fall 2024 semester. Many undergraduate secondary admission programs and post-graduate professional programs routinely recalculate students' undergraduate GPAs to include repeated coursework. The inclusion of repeated grades may lower your overall GPA when applying to such programs. Students should consult with prospective programs regarding their policies before applying.
