Repeat Policy for Curriculum Course Work

Cooperative Work Experperience and Internship Courses

Cooperative work experience and internship courses may not be audited, but may be completed for a grade up to two times only if a passing grade was not achieved the first time and only with written permission of the curriculum area coordinator. Each attempt will be recorded, and all grades will be reflected on the transcript. The highest grade earned for the cooperative work experience or internship course will be used to calculate a cumulative grade point average.

Other Courses

No course may be counted more than once toward graduation. Any other curriculum course may be completed a total of three (3) times, including audits. Each attempt will be recorded, and all grades will be reflected on the transcript. The highest grade will be used to calculate a cumulative grade point average. If, after three attempts, a student has not made a passing grade in a course, the student must have the written approval of their Advisor, the Curriculum Area Coordinator, the Division Director, and the Director of Student Enrollment Resources to enroll in the same course a fourth time. If a student wishes to take a previously passed course more than three times for personal benefit, it can be taken as an audit, and that student must pay the actual cost of the course (based on the current rate for self-supporting courses) rather than the tax-subsidized cost. The student must have the written permission of the Curriculum Area Coordinator, the Division Director, and the Director of Student Enrollment Resources. Required approvals will be in the form of a memorandum initiated by the Curriculum Area Coordinator, approved by signatures as outlined above, and placed in students permanent file.

Veterans and financial aid students should be aware that they cannot receive benefits for courses previously passed. Furthermore, transfer students should be advised that receiving institutions do not have consistent policies regarding GPA computation. Admissions personnel will review the transcripts of transfer applicants and may recompute a GPA to include original grades.

The Curriculum Area Coordinator, the Division Director, the Senior Director of Student Services, and the Vice President for Instruction and Student Support must approve any exceptions to this policy.
