Repeating a Course

Students may repeat a course in which they received a grade of C-, D+, D, F, P or NP no more than two times. Students may not repeat any course in which they receive a grade of C or better. In all cases, individual department policies concerning repetition of courses in the major take precedence. When a course is repeated for credit, the earlier grade remains on the student’s permanent record and will appear on all transcripts. Only the last enrollment and grade will be used in computing the grade-point average and awarding of credit.

All repeats must be taken at Elmhurst University, whether the course was originally attempted for credit at Elmhurst University or at another institution. The only exception to this is if the course originally taken elsewhere has no equivalent course at Elmhurst University. Please note: The written permission of the VPAA or their delegate must be obtained prior to registration at any other institution. A repeat may not be by independent study.
