Resolution 2616, 03/13/2002: Repeated courses: (Committee on Academic & Curricular Affairs) Whereas the faculty senate has affirmed (in resolution 2604) that when a student repeats a course, the most recent grade is the most accurate assessment of his or her mastery of current course material and thus the grade most appropriate to calculate into the GPA, Whereas the faculty senate has further affirmed (in resolution 2607) that for the special case of graduation with honors, every grade awarded should be included in the calculation, Whereas students who have been unsuccessful in a course should be permitted to persist in seeking mastery of the course material, Whereas students who have satisfactorily completed a course should be discouraged from repeating it more than once if, by doing so, they take seats needed by other students, Whereas the Registrar should be given unambiguous direction regarding catalog copy in this respect, Therefore be it resolved that the section in the undergraduate catalog now headed “Removal of ‘D’ or ‘F’ Grades from Grade Point Average” be revised as follows:

Repeating Courses

A:If a student with a grade of D+ or lower repeats the course, he or she may register through early registration.

B:If a student with a grade of C- or higher opts to repeat a course, he or she may register through early registration only once (that is, for one repeat). For any subsequent repeat, the student may enroll only during the first week of class and with the permission of the instructor.

C:Letter-graded courses must be repeated for a letter grade.

D:All courses and grades will continue to be a part of the student’s permanent academic record (transcript).

E:When determining eligibility for graduation with honors, every grade awarded is computed into the GPA.

F:For all other purposes, only the most recent grade earned in a course is computed into the GPA.
