Course Repeat Grading Policy
Students may repeat any course during their tenure at Central*. The chairperson of the department offering the course may prohibit a student from repeating a course more than once. The highest of the grades earned will be applied to the GPA and degree requirements and credits will only be earned once. All grades will appear on the student's transcript.
Some academic departments may require students to retake certain prerequisite courses if there is an extended time lapse between the completion of that prerequisite course and enrollment in subsequent courses. Students should check with the individual departments for time limits on prerequisite courses. Students who must retake prerequisite courses have two options:
- Students may retake the course and replace their previous grade.
- Students may audit the course and retain the existing grade. Students taking this option should be aware that individual academic departments might place special requirements on the auditing of courses. Students must complete an audit request form within the required time frame at the beginning of the semester in which a course is audited.
*Financial Aid recipients: Financial aid regulations permit a student to repeat any previously passed course a maximum of once per course. Passed means any grade higher than an F. Course repeats that exceed this limit will result in a reduction in financial aid.
