Repetition of Courses

A student should meet with his/her advisor and appropriate KU departments before repeating a course, as it may affect the student’s academic standing and scholarship. A repeated course must be taken when it is regularly offered and cannot be taken in independent or individual format. Any questions regarding these procedures should be addressed to the Registrar’s Office. A student may repeat a course subject to the following:

A student may repeat a course for which the student received a letter grade of C- or lower
A student is allowed to repeat degree courses for a maximum of seven times during the student’s undergraduate studies at the university
Degree credit for a course is only given once, but the grade assigned each time the course is taken is permanently recorded on the transcript
Only the highest grade earned for a repeated course will be used in calculating the grade point average
Students may not repeat a course by taking it in transfer at another university
A student who wishes to take a course for a third time must obtain the approval of the college dean.
A student who fails a required course more than twice is subject to dismissal for failure to make satisfactory academic progress toward the student’s degree (refer to ACA 3600 Academic Standing and Honors)
