COURSE REPETITION POLICY AND
PROCEDURES
COURSE REPETITION BOARD POLICY 4225
Students may repeat a course in which they have received a substandard grade (that is,
D, F, or NP) only once. The new grade and credit will be substituted for the prior grade
and credit in computing the grade point average (GPA) and the permanent academic
record will be annotated in such a manner that all work remains legible, ensuring a true
and complete academic history.
In general, students are not permitted to repeat courses in which they have earned a
grade of A, B, C, or P.
Students who have received a W in a course are permitted to re-enroll in that course two
more times, for a total of three enrollments.
Specific exceptions to the above policies are detailed in administrative procedures.
This policy supersedes the section of BP 4220 (Standards of Scholarship) dealing with
Course Repetition.
Procedures for implementing the policy will be developed with collegial consultation with
the Academic Senate, as defined in CCR § 53200.
