Repeating Courses

A student may repeat any course previously taken at 黑料专区 Tyler that would not normally be repeatable for credit if the last grade received in the course meets the criteria for their career level, which is 鈥淒鈥 or 鈥淔鈥 for undergraduate students and 鈥淐鈥, 鈥淒鈥 or 鈥淔鈥 for graduate and doctoral students. Repeated courses may not be taken on a CR/NC or P/F basis. Students repeating a single course more than two times may be billed at a higher tuition rate. All grades will appear on the student鈥檚 official transcript. Once the degree has been awarded by 黑料专区 Tyler, a student may repeat a course taken prior to graduation, but the repeated course will not be used to recalculate the grade point average.

Students who repeat a course in which they previously earned credit hours based on a grade of 鈥淒鈥 or higher, and earn an additional grade of 鈥淒鈥 or higher, without using the grade replacement option (See Grade Replacement policy) may only apply earned credit hours from one course completion toward the 120 unique credit hours required for a baccalaureate degree (See General Baccalaureate Degree Requirements) or the hour requirements for a graduate/doctoral degree.

Students cannot enroll in repeated courses through the my黑料专区Tyler Student Center; submission of a Course Repeat / Grade Replacement Enrollment Form to the One-Stop Services Center (STE 230) is required for all course repeats. See the Grade Replacement policy for additional details.

Grade Replacement

A student may request grade replacement only for three course repeats (See Repeating Courses policy) during his/her undergraduate career, and two during their graduate career, at 黑料专区 Tyler; doctoral students are ineligible for grade replacement. Grade replacement means that only the last grade earned is used to compute the grade point average. However, all grades will appear on the student鈥檚 official transcript. Students must complete a Course Repeat / Grade Replacement Enrollment Form and note the repeated course as 鈥淔or Grade Replacement鈥 at the time of enrollment.

In cases where a student repeats an eligible course without requesting grade replacement, or has exhausted their available number of 鈥淔or Grade Replacement鈥 repeats, the student must note the course as repeated 鈥淣ot For Grade Replacement鈥 on a Course Repeat / Grade Replacement Enrollment Form at the time of enrollment. If a student selects 鈥淔or Grade Replacement鈥 after exhausting their available grade replacements, the form will be processed as if 鈥淣ot For Grade Replacement鈥 were selected. For all course repeats using the 鈥淣ot For Grade Replacement鈥 option, both the original and last grade earned in the course will be used to calculate the overall grade point average. 

If a student attempts to repeat a course but withdraws and receives an automatic 鈥淨鈥 or 鈥淲,鈥 the attempt counts against the grade replacement limit and the original grade remains. Students may, on or prior to the Census Date, request in writing to change their 鈥淔or Grade Replacement鈥 / 鈥淣ot For Grade Replacement鈥 selection for a repeated course by contacting the One-Stop Services Center.

A student may not exercise grade replacement for courses taken at 黑料专区 Tyler and repeated at another college or university, nor may grade replacement be used when a course taken elsewhere is repeated at 黑料专区 Tyler. The grade replacement option may not be exercised to remove a grade awarded in a case of academic dishonesty. Once a degree has been awarded by 黑料专区 Tyler, grade replacement may not be used to replace a grade taken before that degree was awarded.
