Repeating a Course

A course may be repeated once to replace the initial grade earned. Any student who wishes to take advantage of this policy must file an official First Repeat Course Form and submit it to the Registrar's Office.
The following regulations will apply:

  • A repeat course must correspond in number, title and description to the original course taken. For courses with number or title changes, approval must be secured in advance from the department, the college dean and the registrar. A course of one type may never be repeated by a course of another type, for example, a directed study for a regularly scheduled classroom course. A transfer student may repeat a course taken at another institution provided it is determined to be equivalent by the dean of the college in which the repeat course is to be taken.
  • Both course enrollments and grades will appear on the transcript, but only the second grade earned will be used to calculate the cumulative grade point average. Where there is a difference of hours of credit or of course number level, the value of the repeat course will be used for the purpose of calculating the cumulative grade point average and in determining the satisfaction of degree requirements.
  • A student must receive approval, through the appropriate dean, to allow a repeat for an equivalent course at a non-ENMU campus. The student must then submit the First Repeat Course Form to the Registrar's Office with the signature of the appropriate dean.
  • A grade of "I" for a repeat course will not replace a previous grade.
  • Withdrawal from a repeat course shall cause the repeat to be deleted and the previous academic record to remain valid. The student may choose to repeat the course again after the withdrawal.
  • A student may repeat a course only once to have his/her first grade removed from the grade point calculation. Any additional repeats will be used in computing the cumulative grade point average.
