When Can I Repeat a Course
Course Repeat Petition for a 4th attempt
Effective Fall 2019: A Course Repeat Petition will no longer be required for a third attempt. Simply register for a third attempt on your scheduled online appointment date and time.
You are allowed no more than three enrollments in the same course in which you receive a grading symbol of “D”, “F”, "FW", “NC”, “NP”, or “W”.
After a student has attempted a course three times they must complete this petition to request to enroll in a course for a 4th attempt. The Admissions and Records office will attempt to enroll the student into the course once open enrollment has begun for the semester. Enrollment in requested course will be based on seat availability at the time of open enrollment. If your first choice course is full we will attempt to add you to your alternate choice if indicated. If both are full and there is room on the wait list we will attempt to place you on the available wait list.
