Repeating a Course or Cluster
An undergraduate student who has received a D or an F in any part(s) of a cluster may repeat the entire cluster, except for the Communications Cluster, in which grades of C or better in Communications I and Communications II and a D or better in Literature is required. The second set of grades will replace all three parts of the first set of grades. The new grades will be the only grades used in the calculations of the grade point average.
If a graduate student fails and retakes a course, the second grade does not replace the first grade; the two grades are averaged. For instance, if a student earns an F for a class and retakes the class, earning an A, the two grades would be the equivalent of two Cs and would affect the overall grade-point average as two Cs.
