Carol,
At Terra students may retake a course no matter what letter grade is
received. (Believe it or not some students retake a course that they had a
B in!) A student may fill out a course repeat form one time per course.
Students are encouraged to fill out the form after they receive their grade
for the course they are repeating. If a student takes a course and fails it
more than once, only one F will be removed from the calculation of the GPA,
any other grade will be averaged into the GPA. All grades remain on the
transcript.
