Useful Information
Grading Forgiveness and Course Repeats

All courses attempted will appear on your transcript.

Students may repeat a course to improve a previous grade earned of D, F or FN. A withdrawal grade may also be repeated. A student may have only three total attempts in any course. Upon the third attempt of a course, the student will receive an A, B, C, D or F, or FN. Students may not withdraw from the third attempt of a course. A fourth attempt may be allowed only through a general appeals process based on major extenuating circumstances. The official grade used in calculating the grade point average is the last grade earned in the course. The forgiveness policy does not apply to courses repeated after the term in which a degree was awarded.

Transfer institutions may treat repeated courses differently, and repeated attempts may affect a students financial aid.
