A course in which a student has received a grade of 'D' or 'F' may be repeated unless such repetition is specifically prohibited or limited in the course description. Any subsequent repetition is made with the permission of the department head and Division Chair of the division in which the course is to be taken. Each repetition of the course replaces the prior grade(s) in all computations. Each attempt to complete the course will remain on the transcript. A student who repeats a course in which a passing grade has been earned and then receives an F loses credit for the course.

With advance permission of the department head and Division Chair of the division in which the course is taken, a student may repeat a course in which a grade of 'C' or better has been received.

A student should be aware that the material covered in “One-Time-Only” and variable content courses may not be offered again or a particular class may be discontinued. In these cases the student may not have the opportunity to repeat the course.

Note: Certain programs have a more restrictive policy concerning repeat of courses, e.g., the Associate of Science in Nursing degree. See program guidelines for details.
