Repeated Courses

Students are allowed to retake a failed course once for academic degree or certificate credit. Students are allowed to retake a passed course once for academic degree or certificate credit, only if the student has failed to achieve sufficient standing to proceed in a core or prerequisite course in a degree or certificate program and if no alternative remedies are provided (e.g. alternative qualifying examination). Students should note that course availability and space considerations may preclude the possibility of repeating a course in the session they choose.

When a student is allowed to repeat a course for academic degree or certificate credit, both grades are counted in the grade point average. A course can be credited only once towards satisfaction of degree or certificate academic credit requirements.

Failed or passed courses which are repeated are included on the transcript with the original grade. Courses which have been repeated have the notation "NCR" (no credit retained).
