When a student repeats a course, only the higher grade will be averaged in the cumulative average. A student may not repeat a course more than once, including a "W" grade, to improve the grade received initially without special permission from the department chairperson or coordinator.

Repeating a course when a "D" or better grade was previously recorded will not earn additional credits for the course. Only the gradepoint average may be improved.

This policy was revised June 1995 and originally took effect in September 1973 and does not apply to courses taken prior to that date.
