Course Repeat Policy
A student may repeat a course
one time
for
which they earned a grade of C- or below.
A student may repeat a course more than once for the following reasons:
-
Failure to pass MATH 098, MATH 099, ENGL 099, and/or GNST 101.
-
Failure to pass FYS 101 (course must be repeated during the following spring semester)
-
Failure to earn a minimum grade of C- in ENGL 100 to fulfill the core requirement for English Composition.
-
Enrollment in a course on a credit basis after previously auditing the course.
Students may submit an appeal to the Academic Standards and Policies (AS&P) committee for an exception to this policy.
Some coursework, such as teaching assistantships, internships, and independent studies, may be completed multiple times and within the credit limits established in that course type policy. These incidents do not fall under the course repeat policy, and grades earned for all completed coursework will be calculated in the cumulative GPA.
All grades earned for a given course will remain on the academic record for historical purposes and will be included in the composite GPA. Only the highest grade earned at Hood for repeated coursework will be computed in the cumulative and major GPAs, and credit will be awarded only once. Coursework that is repeated at another institution and transferred to Hood will earn a grade of TR, which will not replace the original grade or calculation for the course taken at Hood.
The grade of W or WX does not replace a previously awarded grade as it is not computed in the GPA. Students may not repeat a course at Hood for which transfer credit has been awarded, however they may choose to audit such a course. See Audit section for further information.
