Repeating a Course
Effective September 2011, a student may repeat once, without the Dean’s approval, a maximum of
three courses in which credit has previously been earned. The highest grade achieved in a repeated
course is counted in the cumulative average, but the credit hours earned in the repeated course will
count only once toward graduation.
The deadline for submitting the petition to repeat a course is the last day to add a course in the
semester or term the repeated course is being taken. A form for this purpose is available online and/or in
the Office of Admissions and Registration Office.
Repeating a course may influence a student’s financial aid or sports eligibility. Courses repeated after
graduation will not change the graduation GPA.
