Repeat Policy
Students who receive a grade of "C" or better in a course may not repeat the course but may
audit without credit. Students who repeat a course in which they have earned credit or for
which transfer credit has been awarded will have the status changed to an audit during the
term the course is repeated.
Students who receive a grade of "C-" (including “D”or "D+" or "D-") or "F" in a course
taken at UNCW may repeat the course at UNCW. Only the first five course repeats may be
used to substitute for a previous course grade. Repeats beyond five will not substitute for a
previous grade but will be averaged into the grade-point average. The repeating of a course
passed (“D-” or better) will not increase hours towards graduation or for NCAA eligibility.
All grades, including grades prior to repeats, remain on the student's transcript.
