Undergraduates
- Students may repeat a course up to two times, totaling three attempts. Further attempts require approval from the Dean of Undergraduate Education.
- All grades will appear on the transcript for the course repeated. The most recent grade received will be used to compute the GPA.
- Course credit will count once for courses repeated.
- Independent Study courses, courses taken on a P/NC basis, or courses taken at another institution cannot be used to replace the original course grade.
- Repeating a course for which a "WI" grade was originally received will not replace that grade in determining the GPA.
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.
