Repeated Courses

A graduate student may repeat/retake a maximum of two graduate level courses for credit only with the permission of the dean that houses the degree program or his/her designee. No graduate course can be repeated more than once. 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 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. Students earning a grade of B or above may not repeat the same course for credit.
