Repeating Courses

Any course may be repeated; however, a repeated course can be counted for credit toward the semester hours’ graduation requirement only once unless otherwise stated in the catalog. Beginning fall semester 1997 and thereafter, an F grade may be removed from calculation in the grade point average if the same course is repeated with a passing grade. Beginning fall semester 2017 and thereafter, a grade of D or F may be removed from calculation in the grade point average if the same course is repeated, provided that the repeated grade is higher than the original grade. Beginning fall semester 2023, a grade of D or F may be removed from the calculation in the grade point average if the same course is repeated. The most recent grade prevails. All grades whether repeated or not remain on the Coker transcript with repeated courses duly noted and count towards attempted hours. If a student is repeating a Coker University course with the anticipation of removing a grade of D or F, the repeat must be taken at Coker University; it may not be by correspondence, proficiency, special examination, or by study at another institution.
