Course Repetition Policy
A. Eligibility and number of credit hours
Students at the University of Colorado at Boulder campus may retake courses under this Course Repetition Policy under the following conditions:
1. Undergraduate students, who receive a grade of D+ or lower in a particular course, may repeat that course once. A student may repeat through the Course Repetition Policy a maximum of 10 hours of course credit taken on the Boulder campus or through Boulder Continuing Education.
2. Graduate students who receive a grade of C+ or lower may repeat one single course (whether undergraduate or graduate level) taken on the Boulder campus or through Boulder Continuing Education through the Course Repetition Policy. Graduate students must repeat the course within a year and a half (i.e., three consecutive fall/spring semesters) or before graduation, whichever is first.
B. Grade point average calculation for University of Colorado at Boulder
1. The original earned grade shall remain permanently on the student’s UCB transcript. The original grade earned, upon completion of the course again for a letter grade in the A-F scale or as P/F, will be removed from calculating the grade point average only for the UCB campus.
2. The repeated grade under this Course Repetition Policy will be the grade used for calculation by UCB in credit hours and grade point average even if the repeated grade is lower than the original grade.
C. Restrictions on Course Repetition
Undergraduate students who have earned D+ or lower and graduate students who have earned C+ or lower in the original course through academic dishonesty may not use this Course Repetition policy to recalculate the UCB grade point average.
D. Policy Review
The Boulder Faculty Assembly shall be responsible for reviewing this policy in three years to evaluate whether it should recommend any changes.
