Course Repeat Policy

Previous Course Repeat Policy

The current course repeat policy allows a student to repeat any course they have received a grade of N, NC, 0.0, 1.0, or 1.5 up to a maximum repeat credit limit of 20 credits.

 

New Course Repeat Policy

Starting summer 2022, a new course repeat policy will take effect that will apply to all prior semesters’ courses. This will allow undergraduate students to repeat any class up to twice (for a total of three attempts), regardless of the grade they earned in their previous attempt, and with a 20-credit limit on repeat credits.
