Repeating Courses

If a student does not meet the minimum grade expectations for the program, the student can retake the course. A maximum of two different courses in a student’s degree program may be repeated. Both the original course and the repeated course remain on the transcript. The cumulative grade point average will include only the most recent grade.

If a student receives a grade of “F” in a course, the student is required to meet with the program director if the student intends to remain in the academic program. If the failing grade occurs in a course that is not clinical, internship, or practicum based, the student is eligible to stay in the program and retake the course, with permission from the Graduate Program Director, the next time the course is offered. If the failing grade occurs in an internship, practicum, or clinical course, the student will require permission from the Graduate Program Director to retake the course. In cases in which the failure occurs because of serious lack of judgement or professional behavior, the student may not be permitted to retake the course which would result in dismissal from the program.
