Repeat Courses
If students register for a course not intended to be repeated, they will receive only the credit and quality points earned in the most recent registration. The credit and grade earned previously will remain on the student’s record but will not be counted in the grade point average. A course will count only once toward cumulative hours earned. Repeating a three-hour course means the student will receive only three hours for that course rather than three hours for each time he/she takes the course.
The University retains the right to flag repeat courses and adjust grade point averages at its own discretion in adherence with the repeat course policy outlined above. The repeated courses will be designated as such at the end of each academic semester.
If a student is registering for a course for the third time, he/she will be required to have academic assistance for this course. In general, students are limited to registering for an undergraduate course three times. If a student elects to register for a course more than three times, he/she is limited to taking only the course being repeated and he/she may see an impact on his/her visa status, eligibility for federal financial aid (i.e., loans/grants), tuition remission, and/or athletics. A course is considered a repeat when a student is registered for the course after the last day to add a class.
A student has the right to appeal the repeat policy with the Student Academic Standards Committee.
