Please note changes to the Repeat
Policy effective Fall 2004:
1. A student is limited to 3 attempts of a course. This
includes repeats where they have earned a grade of A through E, or
attempts where they were awarded grades of CR, NC, I, W, Z, or X.
2. This limitation does not apply to independent study and similar
courses for which course content varies significantly with each
offering or is a variable credit course.
3. For exceptions to this limitation policy, a student may appeal
to the chairperson of the department offering the course. |
To improve a grade previously earned at CMU, or elsewhere, a student may
repeat any course except courses entitled Independent Study. The last grade and credits
earned at CMU completely replace the previous grade and credit hours in computing the
grade point average, although the earlier record remains a part of the student's
transcript. A grade of A through E must be earned in a repeated course to replace the
previous grade in computing the grade point average.
If a student repeats a course after he/she has earned a
degree, it will not be considered a repeat. Both grades will be counted in the student's
cumulative GPA.
For students repeating CMU courses at other colleges and
earning higher grades, honor points and hours will not transfer, but the previous CMU
honor points will be removed in computing the average. Students should check with the
Undergraduate Academic Services Office (Warriner 123) to determine if a course taken at
another school will count as a repeat of a course taken at CMU.
