Repeating a Course

Summary

The College policies for repeating curriculum courses

Curriculum Courses

The College policy for repeating a curriculum course (for college credit) is available in the Catalog, page 79. If you receive a low grade in a course and repeat the course, only the higher of the two grades will be used to calculate your GPA; however, both grades will always appear on your transcript. If you withdraw from a course and then repeat it, the "W" and the new grade will appear on your transcript.
