Course Repeat Policy

Under University regulations, a student may attempt a non-repeatable course (a course that does not result in duplication of credit) up to three times. Students may request consideration of a fourth attempt by completing the College of Science Fourth Attempt process. A fourth attempt in a course requires a waiver of University regulation and is not guaranteed. Fourth attempt decisions may not be appealed.

Curricular note: The inability to complete a degree requirement under University regulation can result in the inability to pursue a degree program. Students are strongly encouraged to closely monitor their degree progress and work closely with their academic advisors if a second attempt does not meet the minimum requisite grade for a particular degree requirement.

Fourth Attempt Request Process
 

Step 1:

Meet with your academic advisor to discuss a fourth attempt request. Extenuating circumstances affecting prior attempts must be presented for fourth attempt consideration.

Step 2:

If extenuating circumstances justify a fourth attempt review, your advisor will provide the Fourth Attempt Request form link. You will be asked to 1) address the conditions that prevented the successful completion of the course in three attempts, and 2) present a plan that ensures success in a fourth and final attempt.

Step 3:

The Director of Academic Advising will review your request. If approved, you will then submit a registration override request via Scheduling Assistant. Do not enter an override request in Scheduling Assistant for the course until a decision is provided by your advisor.
