Repeating a course
Undergraduates
If you repeat the identical course as an undergraduate at
Rensselaer, both grades will appear on your student record and
transcript. However, keep in mind that:
The recalculation of GPAs to account for repeated courses
occurs at the end of the semester after all
grades for all students have been
processed.
Graduates
If a graduate student repeats a course, both grades are
entered on the record. However, course credit will count only
once and, although both grades appear on the transcript,the
grade received in the repeated course is always the one used in
computing the GPA. The grade for a repeated course for which
the student receives a grade of “W” or taken at another
institution cannot be used in place of the original course
grade in calculating the GPA.
