Repeating courses - new policy effective Summer 2006
Within the University of Minnesota System
Students may retake a course in which they received a grade of C- or lower or an N. Those wishing to retake a course in which they earned a grade of C or higher or an S must obtain department approval before registering for the course through a Permission to Retake a Course (or Equivalent Course) form. This form must be completed, approved, and submitted to the Student Assistance Center, 23 Solon Campus Center. Students may choose either to retake the UMD course at UMD or to take an approved equivalent course anywhere else within the University of Minnesota system. New policy states that only the last grade recorded is used in calculating the University of Minnesota GPA. Only the most recently completed credits can be applied toward graduation requirements.
Outside of the University of Minnesota System
UMD students may take an equivalent course at an institution outside of the University of Minnesota system to replace a course previously completed at UMD only if department approval is granted before registering for the course through a Permission to Retake a Course (or EquivalentCourse) form available online at http://www.d.umn.edu/fareg/forms.htm. Although this course may be used to meet UMD degree requirements, its grade will not be included in the student’s University of Minnesota GPA. Only the most recently completed credits can be applied towards graduation requirements.
Once you have graduated, repeating a course taken as an undergraduate is not permitted.
