If a student fails a course, they must repeat it and earn a passing grade. All repeated courses must fulfill prerequisite requirements, and all courses must be passed for graduation. If a student withdraws from a course, they must successfully complete it according to prerequisite requirements.
If a higher grade is achieved in the repeated course, it will be used to calculate the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA). Repeated courses count towards credit hours earned/attempted for satisfactory progress. Repeated courses are marked with two asterisks on the official transcript.
Students who need to repeat a course (due to failure or withdrawal) must meet with the Program Director or designee to discuss their course plan before registering for the desired repeated course. Students are also responsible for meeting with a financial advisor to arrange payment for repeated courses, including any additional fees.
A student who fails a course or withdraws from a course must repeat it at the next available opportunity, subject to space limitations. Failing or withdrawing from a course and the required repeated course may interrupt enrollment, delay expected graduation, affect financial aid eligibility, and impact satisfactory academic progress.
Nursing Students
A Nursing student will also be dismissed from the program if they fail the same nursing, science, or nutrition course twice. If a nursing student withdraws from a nursing, science, or nutrition course, then fails that course on a subsequent attempt, he/she will be dismissed from the program.
