Repeating of Courses Policy
Students who receive a grade of "C" or better in a course may not repeat that course for credit towards completion of the requirements for the degree they are pursuing unless special permission is granted by the department chair and Provost & Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs.
Students who receive a grade of "D" or "F" in a course taken at Elizabeth City State University may repeat the course if either of the following applies:
- The course is specifically required by the student’s academic major and/or the Honors Program and a grade of "C" is also required or is a prerequisite for another course in the major.
- Repeated registration in a course may be allowed if the course description carries the statement, "may be repeated" or "repeated to a maximum of credits."
Should six or more years have elapsed since a student’s initial enrollment in any course, and current knowledge of the course content is needed, the department may require the student to repeat the course.
A student may repeat a given course only twice. The student may repeat a maximum of 15 semester hours during his or her matriculation toward a degree.
All grades received will be recorded on the student’s permanent record, but only the higher grade will be used in computing the grade point average.
A course repeated may be taken at ECSU or, with prior approval, at another four-year institution.
Appeals or request for waiver of any of the terms associated with this policy may be made to the university’s Academic Standards and Credits Committee.
