Course Repeat

Courses with earned grades of “D” or “F” may be repeated. Courses with earned grades of “C” or better may be repeated only by special permission from the Vice President of Academic and Student Affairs or if the academic program requires a higher grade than the one achieved for successful program completion. When a course has been repeated, the higher grade will be counted in the grade point average calculation. Courses taken as audits may be repeated for credit only. No course may be audited more than once.

Transitional courses are exempt from this policy. Students who feel they may benefit from enrolling in transitional courses (e.g., Developmental English and math courses) for which they have earned non-course credit should speak with their faculty mentor/college navigator and Financial Aid staff to determine their best options for enrollment.

Students Using Financial Aid
Students who use financial aid should be aware that funding for course enrollment and course repeats may be subject to additional requirements or limitations. Students who receive financial aid and have questions about funding should meet with a Financial Aid Counselor for additional information.

Students Using Veterans Education Benefits
Courses that have been successfully completed or for which the student has received non-course credit may not be recertified for veteran education benefits if they are repeated. However, if a student fails a course or if the program requires a higher grade than the one achieved for successful program completion, that course may be repeated and recertified. Audited courses do not qualify and cannot be included in enrollment certification for veteran education benefits. (reference Curriculum Courses Repeat and Substitution Policy 05.02.08).
