Repeated Courses and Computation of Grade Point Average

A student may repeat a course to change the original grade. The LAST grade earned will become the official grade and will be used to calculate the cumulative grade point average (GPA), even if the last grade earned is lower than the original attempt.

Students, who choose to repeat courses, should know:

The exact course must be repeated to have the latest attempt replace the first attempt.
All courses attempted will remain on the transcript.
Previous attempts are indicated on the transcript by credit hours appearing in parentheses: and an asterisk (*) appearing beside the last attempt.
Courses will only count toward graduation requirements once, even if both attempts are successful.
Adjustments to the cumulative GPA are not made for courses transferred from other institutions because no grade points are assigned to transfer credits.
Grades of “W,” “I,” or “AU” will not replace the original grade.
Developmental courses are not included in the Repetition of Courses policy.

NOTE: Certain restrictions apply to Financial Aid paying for repeated courses. Please see the Financial Aid Office for questions regarding repeated classes and aid payment for those classes.
