   REPEATING OF COURSES – Current Policy – Page 80-81, Undergraduate Catalogue 2006-2007

   Students who receive a grade of "C" (2.00) or better in a course may not repeat the course but may audit without credit.  Students who repeat a course in which they have earned credit or for which transfer credit has been awarded, will have the status changed to audit during the term the course is repeated.

   Students who receive a grade below a “C” (2.00) in a course taken at UNCW may repeat the course at UNCW.  For Tthe first five different times a student repeats courses  repeated the previous grade and hours of credit for the repeated course will not be used in calculating the student's grade point average and hours toward graduation.  All grades shall remain on the student's transcript.

   In interpreting the policy it is to be understood that:

   1.        the term "first five times" means

   a.        that the policy is automatically operative for a student the first time that the student repeats a course and continues through the fifth time a student repeats a course, and

   b.       that the five repeats may involve five different courses or fewer courses repeated more than once;

   2.        a student may go beyond 5 course repeats, but such repeats will not enjoy the privilege of the policy;

   3.        all students will be able to enjoy the benefits of this policy irrespective of prior course repeat activity;

   4.        this policy does not govern the repeating of graduate courses (see the Graduate Catalogue for the appropriate policy).

   Students enrolled in a special topics course for a grade replacement must enroll in the same topic for which they originally received an unsatisfactory grade.

   Note:  A failing grade received owing to admitted or adjudicated academic dishonesty shall not be replaced if the course is repeated.  Both the penalty grade and the new grade shall appear on the student's transcript and count in the student's grade point average.  A student may not appeal the policy stated in this paragraph to any faculty or administrative level.
