Repeating a Course or Cluster
An undergraduate student who earned a grade of C or lower in any part(s) of a cluster may repeat the entire cluster. Only the highest grade(s) earned will be used in the calculation of the grade point average. Repeating a course does not remove the previous grade from the transcript. Additional credit hours are not earned when a student repeats a course or cluster. A student's eligibility for federal financial aid may be affected if they choose to repeat a course. The University is under no obligation to offer a course aside for its usual schedule to accommodate a student repeating a course.
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.
