Retaking a Course

College of Arts and Sciences Policy

A student may retake only one graduate course in his/her graduate program where an “F” grade has been received. The new course grade will be included in his/her GPA. The original “F” will remain on the transcript but will not be included in the GPA unless the "F" grade was a result of academic misconduct, in which case both grades will be included in the GPA.
