COURSE REPEAT POLICY
When an undergraduate course in which a
student has previously earned a “D” or “F” is repeated, the
grade earned in repetition will supersede the previously
recorded grade. The original grades earned are never deleted
from the permanent academic record when a course is repeated;
however, such grades are dropped from the calculation of
cumulative grade point average. It is thereby possible to
improve a grade point average. Courses for which grades of “C”
or better have been recorded may not be repeated.
In compliance with established university
policy, failing grades and deficiencies in grade point averages
may be removed only by taking work in residence at the
University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. Courses may not be
repeated at another institution and transferred to this
university.
Note: If a student withdraws from a
course taken as a “Repeat,” the original grade earned will
remain in the overall grade point average calculation.
“Departments may designate courses such that class rank should
not be considered with respect to registering to repeat a
course.”
