Guidelines for Repeating a Course

Students may repeat courses with earned grades to allow a student to improve his/her grade point average. Once a student repeats the class, the new grade replaces the previous grade in the grade point average. If a student elects to repeat a course, the grade earned from the final attempt of the course is the final grade, even if that grade is lower than the previous attempt. The transcripts will show all previous attempts as a repeated course and will not include them in the semester or cumulative grade point average calculations.  Students may use transfer credits to repeat courses.

*Please note that some selective admission Allied Health programs may limit the number of times a student can repeat a course for admission to the program. Students should check with the Allied Health Division for more details.
