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 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: Complete the Fourth Attempt Request form and submit it electronically. Your academic advisor will provide you with the Fourth Attempt Request form during your meeting in Step 1.

You will be asked to 1) Address the conditions that prevented the successful completion of the course, 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.
