16. Repeating Courses

[Table of Contents] [Previous] [Next]

The university's policy on repeating courses is explained in the Undergraduate Bulletin of Information . Under the limitations described in that policy, you may repeat a course in which you received a grade of C- or lower. Both grades will appear on your SU transcript, but only the grade from the repeated course will be used in computing your GPA. When you are repeating a course you must fill out a Notification of Repeated Course Form and file it with the Registrar. Otherwise, your academic record will not be adjusted to reflect the repeat of the course. It is not necessary to repeat courses in which you received lower than a C. It is an option that may help to satisfy the requirement of maintaining a GPA of at least 2.5. Failed courses (grade F) must be repeated if they are to count toward your graduation requirements.

Once a course has been taken and a grade received at Seattle University , it may not be repeated at another institution for purposes of transferring the credit. A course may be repeated at Seattle University only three times including withdrawals. If you register for a course and then drop it before the end of the normal add/drop period, this will not count toward the total.
