Repeated Courses

Students may choose to repeat a class to meet academic requirements, to improve their GPA or to refresh their knowledge of the subject material. While both the original and the repeated grades will remain on the transcript, only the highest grade will be used to determine the GPA, unless the catalog description allows the class to be repeated for additional credit.

Except for courses numbered below 1000 which do not count, all instances of a repeated course will count as attempted credits when determining completion rate for satisfactory academic progress, but only one instance of the course can be considered successfully completed. Students may repeat a course twice; a third repeat attempt requires the approval of the academic dean of the division that offers the course. Students should consult the Financial Aid and Scholarship Office to determine whether repeated coursework will be eligible for financial aid.

PSEO students cannot repeat courses in which they have already earned a passing grade (A-D), including courses such as music and theatre that are intended to be repeated for credit.
