Effective Fall 2024 an undergraduate student may repeat a course to replace a failing final grade (F, FA, F* or FA*) earned in the Fall 2024 semester or in any semester thereafter. Such repeated courses will be designated with an “R” on the transcript and the original failure will no longer accrue into the Cumulative GPA; however, the original grade and Semester GPA will remain the same for that semester. A failed course is eligible for grade replacement a maximum of two tries, after which all failures would accrue into both the Semester and Cumulative GPAs. There is no limit to the number of different courses a student may repeat under this policy.
GPA
Any course designated with an “R” does not affect the Semester GPA in either the semester the failure was earned nor in the semester in which the course was repeated. However, while the course designated with an “R” does not affect the Cumulative GPA in the semester the failure was earned, it does affect the Cumulative GPA of the semester in which the course was repeated. Note that students will not be retroactively taken off probation or dismissal status, nor earn semester honors (Deans and Presidents lists) based upon any repeated course.
Honors
Students who have courses designated with an “R” are ineligible for Latin Honors, Commencement Awards or Industry Awards.
How Repeated Courses Affect Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)
Any repeated course that is designated as an “R” will be counted as credits attempted but not as credits earned for SAP calculations to determine rate of completion and maximum time frame calculations. See Undergraduate Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) for more information.
