Repeating Courses


When a course that was previously passed is repeated, the new course credit hours do not count towards a degree. A student who wishes to re-take a course previously passed and not receive additional degree credit will be permitted to do so only if deemed advisable by the faculty advisor and a dean in the Office for Undergraduate Education.

All courses repeated, whether passed or not, including the original course, will be calculated in the student’s grade-point average, and the original course grade will remain on the student’s transcript.

A student will be permitted to retake a course if they fail to successfully complete a course. A student may not attempt to pass a course any more than three times.
