Multiple Repetitions of the Same Course
Students who receive the grade of F, W, WU (if taken prior to Fall 2022), FIN, or any combination of these grades two times for the same course shall receive notice by email from the Registrar of this policy at which time students shall also be directed to speak with an advisor from the Academic Advisement Center or the coordinator of the student’s major or minor, as appropriate, or with a SEEK counselor if the student is in the SEEK Program.
Students who receive the grade of F, W, WU (if taken prior to Fall 2022), FIN, or any combination of these grades three times for the same course shall be barred from registering the following semester because the student is not making appropriate progress toward a degree. A stop shall be placed on the registration of such students by the Registrar. Such students are required to be advised by the Academic Advisement Center or the coordinator of the student’s major or minor, as appropriate, or by a SEEK counselor if the student is in the SEEK Program. Such students shall be permitted to register only after a plan of study is developed and agreed to in writing and official written permission for the student to register is transmitted to the Registrar. If it is determined that the student is unable to make progress toward completing the degree, the student may be permanently barred from registering.
Students may appeal this decision in writing to the Dean of Undergraduate Studies or to the Registrar.
Note: As of Fall 2021, the grade of WU is not a failing grade and will no longer apply to the above policy.
