Undergraduate courses may be repeated. Courses for which grades of Ds and Fs are recorded can be retaken without departmental approval; courses for which a grade of C, or pass, or higher are recorded will require departmental approval. The transcript will contain a complete record of all courses taken and grades earned. The repeated and not the original grade will be included in determining the cumulative grade point average. However, after a student has repeated the same course three times, or has repeated three different courses, that student must have the permission of his/her academic dean before repeating any course. Students who are taking graduate courses (excluding law courses) may repeat courses in which they received a grade of C, D or F if the repeat is granted by the dean/chair of the academic unit/department offering the course. The dean/chair must provide a letter to the Office of the University Registrar indicating approval has been given to the student to repeat a graduate course in which a C, D or F grade was received. The transcript will contain a complete record of all courses taken and grades earned, but only the last grade earned in a repeated course will be used to compute the cumulative grade point average. Law students can repeat only those courses in which they earned an F, unless approval of the faculty Curriculum Committee is obtained in advance. The transcript of a law student will contain a complete record of all courses taken and grades earned, and all grades earned in repeated courses will be averaged to compute the cumulative grade point average.
