Academic Policies

Repeating a Course

Students wishing to repeat course work at The University of Arizona may elect one of the following options:

Establishment of Credit

Undergraduate students may repeat any course for which they have received an "E" or "W". They may repeat this course as many times as necessary to establish credit, but may only be eligible for grade replacement once.

First and Second Attempt Averaging

Undergraduate students may repeat, only once, any course in which they have received original grades of "C" or "D". Grade-point average will be computed by averaging grades earned in the first and second attempt. Original grades of "A" or "B" may not be repeated, except as specifically provided by departments on a course-by-course basis. Credit will be allowed only once unless the course is designated "repeatable for credit" by the department.
