How Do I Repeat an Undergraduate Course?

Undergraduates may be required to repeat a course because of failure to achieve a required minimum grade for a specific major or minor. Graduate, law and dental courses are not repeated for a higher grade.

To repeat a course, please contact your college/school office to request permission. A repeated course must be the exact same course in title, subtitle and credits. Substitution of one course for a different course is never permitted.

Credit hours earned in a repeated course are earned only once, and all previous attempts remain on your record. In the fall of 1999 and thereafter, the grade in the original course is not included in the cumulative grade point average. The cumulative grade point average is recalculated at the time the grade for the repeated course is posted. If you withdraw from a repeated course, the original grade will remain a part of your cumulative grade point average.

You may repeat a course regardless of the original grade earned. Academic programs may specify courses that normally are not allowed to be repeated, or may identify limits on the number of times specific courses in their curriculum may be repeated. Otherwise, there is not a limit on the number of times you may repeat a course. You may not exercise the S/U option for a repeated course. Courses repeated at other institutions will not be used to replace grades earned at Marquette.
