Repeating Courses

You may repeat a course once in order to replace a course grade of C or below. The original and second grade will remain on your academic record (official transcripts), but the second grade that you receive will be used in figuring your grade-point average. In order to get the adjusted grade-point average, you must repeat the course at Ball State University. You cannot transfer in a new grade from another college or university if you already took the class once at Ball State.

If it is necessary to take a course to meet program requirements, you may do so as many times as necessary. However, all grades except the first one received in any course you repeat will be used in computing your grade-point average. Your academic record (official transcripts) will show all grades that you received, but a notation will indicate that a course was repeated.

The credits for the course will only count once toward your graduation requirements. If you repeat a course, you do need to complete a "Course Repetition Form" and submit it to the Registrar's Office in
