Repeated Courses
A graduate student may repeat/retake only one Middle Georgia State University course for credit only with the permission of the Dean of the program that houses the degree and the Dean of Graduate Studies. In such cases the student does not have an option of an independent study or of requesting a different instructor nor of repeating the class as a session class added to the schedule of classes solely for that purpose. A student may not take the same or similar class as a transient student and then petition to have it replace the course in which a grade of “C” or lower was earned. A finding of academic dishonesty cannot be a condition for petitioning to repeat a graduate-level class. A student who repeats a course will have the cumulative Grade Point Average calculated using the grade from the last attempt. The grade of the first and subsequent attempts that are excluded from the GPA will remain on the student's official permanent record. A course taken to replace a “W” does not count as a “repeated” course.
