Repeat Courses
If students register for a course not intended to be repeated, they will receive only the credit and quality points earned in the most recent registration. The credit and grade earned previously will remain on the student’s record but will not be counted in the grade point average. A course will count only once toward cumulative hours earned. Repeating a three-hour course means the student will receive only three hours for that course rather than three hours for each time he/she takes the course.
The University retains the right to flag repeat courses and adjust grade point averages at its own discretion in adherence with the repeat course policy outlined above. The repeated courses will be designated as such at the end of each registration period.
A course is considered a repeat when a student is registered for the course after the last day to drop a class. Therefore, students withdrawing from a course after the first week of classes will be subjected to the repeat policy.
If a student elects to repeat a course more than once, the following will apply:
- Third time taking the course – the student will be required to have an academic learning contract in the Oiler Success Center and must participate in academic assistance for the course.
- Fourth time taking the course - the student will be required to have an academic learning contract in the Oiler Success Center and must participate in academic assistance for the course. Additionally, the student will be placed on a reduced course load at the discretion of the Oiler Success Center and in collaboration with their academic adviser, as a way to promote success.
- Fifth time (or more) taking the course – the student will be required to appeal to the Student Academic Standards Committee seeking approval to register for the course. If approved to register, the student will be required to have an academic learning contract in the Oiler Success Center and must participate in academic assistance for the course, and will be placed on a reduced course load at the discretion of the Oiler Success Center and in collaboration with their academic adviser, as a way to promote success.
