A student may repeat up to four courses and have Grade Forgiveness applied. Grade Forgiveness removes the initial grade AND the earned hours from the calculation of the grade point average (GPA). All courses will appear on the transcript. Grade Forgiveness will be automatically applied for the first four courses the student repeats.
If the student does not want a Grade Forgiveness applied to a repeated course, he / she must submit a Grade Forgiveness Exception Form to the Registrar’s Office prior to the end of the Drop / Add period for the semester in which he / she is repeating the course.
