Repeating a Course

If you wish to improve your grade in a course to meet core or degree requirements, you may register to repeat a course. You may register only three times for any Boise State University course. Courses dropped within the first ten days of the semester are excluded from the three registration maximum. Also excluded from this policy are courses that can be taken multiple times for additional credit, such as kinesiology (fitness) activity courses, private music lessons, and art studio classes. Prior Learning credits cannot be used to repeat a class already completed. If you do repeat a course, you may count toward your degree only the number of credits you would have received if you had taken the course only once. When you repeat a course, both grades appear on your transcript.

Courses repeated prior to Fall 1995 use a grade replacement policy. Only the most recent grade was used in calculating the cumulative GPA.
Courses repeated Fall 1995 through Summer 2001 used a grade averaging policy. Courses repeated will be averaged, using both grades in the calculation of the GPA.
Beginning Fall 2001 and on, courses repeated will use a grade replacement policy. Only the most recent grade will be used in calculation of the cumulative GPA.
