Repeating a Course/Duplication of Course Content

If a student repeats a course, they must complete a course repeat form and submit it to the Office of Student Records. Please note the following.

• The original grade remains on the transcript, but is not counted in the calculation of the GPA.
• Any grade earned in the repeated course will be factored into the GPA, even if it is lower than the original grade.
• The repeated course does not increase the number of credits counted toward meeting degree requirements unless an F is replaced by a passing grade.
• W, R, N, or NC grades reported for the repeated course will not be identified as a course repeat, thus the original grade earned will continue to be counted in the GPA. Incomplete (G) grades will not be identified as repeated courses until the course work is completed.
• No sequential course may be repeated for credit after a higher numbered course in that sequence has been passed with a C or higher grade.
• No course can be repeated at any other institution.
• Students may repeat a course no more than two times.

Students may not earn duplicate credit for courses that substantially duplicate the content of courses taken previously. For example, duplicate credit cannot be earned for the following:

• Both a regular version of a course and an honors version of that course.
• Courses that are cross listed with a course the student has already taken.
• Courses taken under a newly assigned course number if already taken under an old course number.
• Certain specific courses that duplicate material.

Students with questions about repeating courses or duplicating course content should consult with their academic advisors.
