When a student repeats a course, the higher grade is used to compute grade point average. Both grades appear on the transcript. For example, if a student receives a D in a course and retakes the course and receives a C-, the C- will replace the D in the student’s GPA. However, the D will remain on the student’s transcript. If the grade for the repeated course is the same, or lower, than the previous grade, then the credits will not count toward the student’s degree. Please note, every time a student repeats a course that course is applied to a student’s attempted and earned credits, as it relates to the financial aid satisfactory academic progress policy. Financial Aid does not cover the tuition and fees to repeat a course for which the student earned a passing grade.
