Course Repeat Policy - Undergraduate and Graduate Students

Students may repeat any course in which a grade of D, F, or X was earned, if the course was taken as part of the first 45 hours earned (including transfer hours). The course may be repeated until a grade of at least a C has been achieved. Only the last attempt for each course will be counted in the cumulative GPA as long as it is completed no later than the quarter in which the first 60 credit hours are earned (exception: or until the course is offered again, if ever, during the regular academic year). However, each grade received for a repeat will become part of the permanent record.

After the first 45 hours (including transfer hours), students may repeat any course in which a grade of D, F, or X was earned until a grade of C has been achieved. Each grade will become part of the permanent record and will be counted in the cumulative GPA.

Students may repeat courses in which a grade of A, B, or C has been earned in order to increase knowledge or to meet program requirements, but the hours and points for the repeat will not be calculated in the hours earned or in the determination of the cumulative GPA. Neither will the hours or points be used to meet graduation requirements.

Students may repeat courses after graduation, but the grade earned will not affect the undergraduate GPA as of the time of graduation.

Students in those program units where the repeat policy is more rigorous than that of the university shall follow the policy of that department, college, school, or division.

Course Repeat Policy - Graduate Students

Graduate students may repeat once any course previously taken for which the grade received was below a B. If repeated, only the hours and grade points earned the second time the course is taken will be included in the computing of the GPA and meeting degree requirements. Graduate students may repeat only two courses under these conditions. While graduate students may normally repeat once any course previously taken, they may repeat a repeated course a second time to satisfy completion of a required course. Under these circumstances, the hours and points are averaged with the hours and points received for the first repeat of the course in computing the student's GPA.

The above course repeat policy does not apply to a course(s) for which a grade(s) was issued as a sanction due to a violation of the University Academic Integrity Policy. If such a course is repeated, the course will not be designated as a repeat and both course grades will be averaged into the cumulative graduate grade point average. The course grade received as a sanction will remain on the student's transcript.
