Students may repeat a course a maximum of two times. Upon completing a repeated course, the higher grade will be used in the calculation of the GPA.

Please see the Office of the Registrar Policy on Failed and Repeated Courses.

When additional general electives or liberal studies courses have been taken, it is the student’s responsibility to inform the Academic Records Office to include the appropriate courses in the GPA. This is applied to general or liberal studies courses that are taken outside of the prescribed program course requirements (e.g., continuing education courses). Please send an inquiry to the Academic Records Office.

All registered and/or completed courses are recorded on the academic record, including all failed and/or repeated courses.

You will need to determine, via your department, if the course you wish to take is being taught and if there is space in the class. Students taking courses for the first time will be given priority for registration.

Some courses are available through continuing education. However, the continuing education calendar must show the following in the course descriptions "Full-time Equivalent(s):" for the course to be included in the GPA calculations. For example, COMM 1008 indicates in the continuing education calendar "Full-time Equivalent(s): COMM 1007". This means, that if you want to repeat COMM 1007- College English, you can take this course through continuing education, and it will be part of the GPA calculations.
