Repetition of Courses

When a student is permitted to repeat a course, both the original and repeat enrollments will be noted on the student’s transcript. However, only unit credit and grade points earned for the higher grade are counted in computing the grade point average and determining the number of units successfully completed each year. The credits earned in the repeated courses will be included in the cumulative credits earned and in the total needed for graduation, unless indicated otherwise.

The retaking of a course does not eliminate the original F grade from the student’s academic record; however, when a course is successfully repeated, the transcript shows that this course has been repeated (with a notation of “R” next to the F), and the earlier failing grade is no longer calculated in the student’s grade point average.
