Students may only repeat courses for which a failing grade was earned. If the course start for the retaken course was prior to August 1, 2008, the original failing grade remains on the student's record. Both grades will be displayed on the transcript and both will be incorporated into the GPA.
Courses that are retaken with course start dates after August 1, 2008, may be used to forgive a previous failing grade from calculation in the student's current program GPA if:
- The failed course was not part of a program that has already been completed. If a student has started a new program, the failing grade in a previous program cannot be forgiven.
- The course retaken must be the same course as the failed course.
Once a student has retaken and passed a previously failed course, if the course retaken has a course start date after August 1, 2008, the failed course will show on the student's transcript with a grade of "R" and the new course will show the final earned grade. The failing grade will still be displayed on the student's academic plan and on individual grade reports for the course and will still be used to calculate SAP for Financial Aid students.
