A course in which a grade of C- or below (C-, D+, D, D-, F, or NC) was originally earned may be repeated once for grade and earned credit replacement. The grade and credits earned for the repeated course will replace those earned in the initial attempt when calculating grade point average and credits toward degree.

Courses taken initially at UW-Whitewater may not be taken at another institution to replace the UW-Whitewater grade and credit.

All attempts of repeated courses, including the grades, remain on academic records and transcripts even though they may not be included in the GPA calculation or earned credits. Students should be aware that graduate schools and other institutions to which they might wish to transfer may not accept repeats and may include all grades in calculating GPA for admission.


Student athletes, veterans and international students should check with the appropriate UW-W school officials before repeating courses as it may affect their eligibility or financial benefits.

The full repeat policy will appear on the Registrar’s Office web page under the “Policies” link .

For further information, students should consult their academic advisor.
