RETAKING COURSES POLICY<\/strong><\/p>\n

Graduate students may retake courses under certain circumstances. It is important for students to understand that \u201cretaking a course\u201d and \u201crepeating a course\u201d mean very different things at Â鶹´«Ã½. These differences are explained in the procedure.<\/p>\n

PROCEDURE<\/strong><\/h3>\n

At Â鶹´«Ã½, \u201cretaking\u201d a course is different from \u201crepeating\u201d a course. Each action is described fully below.<\/p>\n

RETAKING COURSES<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Graduate students may, without any additional requirements, retake once<\/em>\u00a0a course they already took regardless of whether they passed or failed it. If the course was previously\u00a0passed<\/u><\/em>, the student must submit a Request to Retake a Course Form in the Office of the Registrar before registering for the course<\/p>\n

Any student who would like to retake a course\u00a0more than once<\/em>\u00a0may do so only with the permission of the Academic Dean of the School that offers the course. (Note<\/u>: If a student retakes a course, the course credits may only be counted once toward fulfilling degree requirements. Therefore, the credits issued for the course when it was originally taken must be subtracted from the \u201cearned credit\u201d column on the transcript and degree evaluation, and only the credits issued when the course is retaken will count as \u201cearned credit.\u201d)<\/p>\n

The decision to retake a course is left to student discretion except when a student has earned a grade lower than what is established by the program for a prerequisite course, if applicable, or an \u2018F\u2019 in a program-required<\/em>\u00a0course. When this occurs, the failed course must be retaken in order to successfully complete all degree requirements.<\/p>\n

Retaking a course will affect the student\u2019s transcript and grade point average (GPA) in the following ways:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. When a student retakes a course,\u00a0all<\/em>\u00a0courses and\u00a0all<\/em>\u00a0grades earned appear on the transcript.<\/li>\n
  2. When a student retakes a course,\u00a0all\u00a0<\/em>grades earned are included in the calculation of the student\u2019s\u00a0cumulative\u00a0<\/em>GPA, but only the\u00a0best<\/u>\u00a0grade earned is included in the calculation of the student\u2019s\u00a0major\u00a0<\/em>GP<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    REPEAT COURSE GRADES<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    Repeat course grades are not an option in graduate programs.<\/p>\n
