Courses

Repeating of Courses

When courses are taken twice but passed once, both grades are included in average calculations regardless of whether the failure occurred on the first or second attempt. In such cases, both a credit and a failure are recorded. In instances where a successfully completed course is repeated, the second instance will not receive credit and will not count in the average.

Third attempts in previously failed courses, or their equivalent, are allowed in some plans in Science but not all. Where it is not allowed, the information is outlined in the Science Academic Programs and Plans section of this Calendar. Students uncertain of the rules for their program/plan should contact an academic advisor before starting a third attempt. Fourth attempts are not allowed.
