Repeating Courses

With some exceptions, students may not repeat a course in which a passing grade was earned. A student who earns a D in a course in the major or minor field must repeat the course. In such cases, the earlier credit is forfeited. To provide an accurate record of course work, all courses students take remain on their permanent record and are included in computing their cumulative GPA.
