Course Repeat Policy Exception

Course Repeat Policy Exception

Please review the policy for Repeating a Course in the Catalog under Registration Policies.

Procedure for Requesting Course Repeat Policy Exceptions

  1. This process begins with the student’s Exploratory Academic Advisor. Complete the Student Success Plan with an advisor explaining the request, reasons for repeating, and plan for success in the course.
  2. If appproved by the advisor, student then seeks permission to repeat the course by submitting the Student Success Plan to the department of the course. Your academic advisor can assist you in identifying the appropriate contact in the department.
    • Courses in Business, CEC, FAVS, Music, and BSN (or any unit with a course repeat policy that is MORE restrictive than this policy) – must involve those units. Permission for a 4th attempt must be negotiated in consultation with these more restrictive units. The voice of the course unit has the final authority in these cases.
  3. Student returns the signed (departmental signature) success plan to their academic advisor. The advisor submits recommendation (approve or deny) along with a copy of the Student Success Plan contract, if appropriate, to the Exploratory Appeals Committee for review and oversight. If approved, the student is notified, and they are responsible for registering for the course via Patriot Web. This process cannot be done after the last day to add classes.
