Repeated Courses
A student has an option to repeat courses to improve his/her GPA or with the intent of updating skills. When a course is repeated, the latter grade stands and is factored in the GPA regardless of the grade received. However, a grade of “P/Fx" (no credit) cannot be used to replace a letter grade previously earned. After the second grade is awarded, the first grade is removed from the student's grade point average. The original course and grade remain on the student's transcript with the notation “Course repeated exclude from GPA calculation."
Whenever a student repeats a course for a better grade, he/she must notify the Office of the Registrar. When a notification is received prior to the end of the semester, the results of the repeated course will be reflected in the student's GPA. Credit can be issued only once for a repeated course.
Courses designed to be repeated, where additional credit hours may be earned, are not eligible for the re-registration option. Such courses include, but are not limited to, Independent Study, Practicum and Internships. Courses assigned a subtitle can only be considered for re-registration if the student enrolls in the course under the same subtitle.
