Course Repeat Policy

  1. Repeating courses under the Course Repeat Policy

“Effective Fall 2002, all students pursuing an undergraduate degree may repeat a course one time for the purpose of improving a grade. This policy is limited to a maximum of twelve (12) semester credits during the entire undergraduate career of a student, and to courses taken at AUC within the previous two years. All course repeats must be done at AUC. The course being retaken must be the same course first taken, unless that course is no longer offered at AUC, or during the two-year period. In such a case, only the department that offered the same course may substitute another course with approval of the major department.

 

A student cannot have the privilege of repeating a grade of “F” under this policy if the “F” is received for academic dishonesty.

 

If a student repeats a course, the credit from the first attempt will not be applied to meeting the AUC graduation requirements. No student will be permitted to repeat more than 12 credit hours under this policy. 

 

Students are advised that repeating courses under this policy does not result in the removal of the original record or grade from their transcripts. The second grade is recorded and computed in the Grade Point Average and the earlier grade is disregarded in calculation of the Grade Point Average. The “Repeat Course Form” is available in the Office of the University Registrar. The completed form must be submitted to the University Registrar’s office by maximum the twelfth week of the term in which the course is being repeated.

 

Students who have already repeated 12 units prior to Spring 1995 have used up their Course Repeat option, and their transcripts will not be altered retroactively”. 

  1. Retaking courses outside of the Course Repeat Policy

A student who has exhausted the “Course Repeat Policy” privileges may still repeat a course in which D+, D or F was earned. No additional course credit will be applied to meeting AUC graduation requirements, but both grades for that course will be calculated in the Grade Point Average.
