| Academic Policies - Repeating Courses Students may repeat any course to increase their knowledge level. This choice is left to the discretion of the student except in cases when the student has received an “F’’ and is required to repeat the course for their particular major. When repeating a course, the original grade and the repeat grade will appear on the student’s transcript. However, the student’s cumulative average will be computed based on the repeat course grade. Students should be aware of the possible consequences of receiving a grade which is lower than their original grade. For example, if a “D’’ grade is repeated and an “F” is earned on the second attempt, the “F” will replace the “D”. Students who must take a course for the third time will have their cumulative average computed based on the second and third repeat course grades. The second and third grades are averaged together in the GPA. If a student who repeats a course receives a “W,’’ the original grade will prevail. A student may register for the same course three times (excluding formal withdrawals or where precluded by departmental regulations). However, a student will be blocked from registering on the fourth and subsequent attempts without express permission from the appropriate academic department chairperson and/or division dean. Students who repeat courses are not eligible to
graduate with honors or be included on the Dean’s Honor List for the
semester in which they repeated the course. |
