The Biomedical Sciences Department Policy on Repeating Classes:

Beginning with the fall semester of 2008, students may only repeat a course once (take it twice) without written approval.

If a student wishes to take a course for a third time, a Registration Repeat Limit Approval Form must be obtained from Registration in Student Services.  This form requires the signature of the student's advisor.

To obtain this signature, however, the student must meet with his/her Advisor and discuss whether or not this repeat would be in the student's best interests.

If the signature is obtained from the Advisor, the student must bring it to the Biomedical Sciences Department office at 312 Padnos for approval from the Chair of the Department.

If approval is obtained, the student must then bring the signed form to Registration to register for the class.

Please note: Many undergraduate secondary admission programs and post-graduate professional programs routinely recalculate students’ undergraduate GPAs to include repeated coursework. The inclusion of repeated grades may lower your overall GPA when applying to such programs. Students should consult with prospective programs regarding their policies before applying.
