Grade Recomputation Policy*

1. A student can repeat a course and elect once to have the lower grade received for that course excluded from the grade point - GPA.
   
   
2. All grades will remain on the official transcript. An explanation of this policy appears on the transcript.
   
   
3. Any course may be repeated subject to department policies restricting students from repeating an elementary course once a more advanced course has been completed. No substitutions are allowed.
   
   
4. A student may elect grade recomputation for not more than 16 credits.
   
   
5. The student electing grade recomputation must make the election by filing a grade recomputation form with the Registrar, H-214.
   
   
6. The election is not automatic. A student who fails to file the proper form will have both grades included in the GPA.
   
   
7. This policy is not retroactive. Courses repeated prior to the effective date of this policy are not eligible for grade recomputation.
   
   
8. This policy does not apply to students who have graduated.
   
   
   • Credit for courses repeated are applicable only once toward the degree.
     
     
   • If a student officially withdraws from a course in which the grade computation option is made, the option becomes void.
