Repeating Courses (Policy 47)

Purpose 

This policy defines the criteria for repeating a credit-bearing course. 

1. Scope 
   1. This policy applies to all credit-bearing courses. 
2. Repeating a course 
   1. A student may elect to repeat a course. 
   2. A student may repeat acourse by registering for it during a term after the initial registration for the course. 
3. Grading 
   1. The highest grade awarded for all attempts will be the assigned grade. 
   2. The lower grade will remain on the transcript with an “R” to indicate a repeated course. 
   3. This is an automatic process and no explicit student request to the Registrar will be necessary. 
4. Exceptions 
   1. Some courses are exceptions to the above. 
   2. Such exceptions will be laid out in the syllabus as submitted to the University Curriculum Committee and will be so indicated in the course catalog.
