<< I also would like to know how other schools deal with retaking courses.
Right
now, if a student fails a course, they may retake that course and the new
grade
is used to recalculate the GPA. Our students may only retake a course they
have
failed. The original course remains on the transcript but is no longer part
of
the GPA. If a student fails the course a second time and tries a third, the
GPA
includes the second F as well as the third grade.
Do any of you have a policy of unlimited retakes on courses?
How about restrictions on the original grade, a D or F only, in order to
retake
a course? >>
At Cal State Univ, Long Beach --- A student can retake a failed course
(D,F,U,W) as many times as they wish. One of these failed grades is
"repeat-deleted" with the new grade --- the old grade shows, but doesn't
factor into gpa.
At Orange Coast College and Golden West College --- The same repeat-delete
policy holds....... but, if the student wishes to attempt a course for a
third time, they need the dean's permission.
