Students who receive a grade of “C” (2.00) or better in a course may not repeat the course but may audit without credit. Students who repeat a course in which they have earned credit or for which transfer credit has been awarded, will have the status changed to audit during the term the course is repeated. Students who wish to have the grade for the course repeat show on their transcripts without the course counting in their credit total or grade point average may arrange this before the end of add/drop by submitting an online Graded Course Audit Registration Form. The form and instructions are available in the Office of the Registrar or online at http://www.uncw.edu/reg.
Students who receive a grade below a “C” (2.00) in a course taken at UNCW may repeat the course at UNCW. For the first three different courses repeated, the previous grade and hours of credit for the repeated course will not be used in calculating the student’s grade point average and hours toward graduation. All grades shall remain on the student’s transcript.
In interpreting the policy it is to be understood that:
- the term “first three times” means
- that the policy is automatically operative for a student the first time that the student repeats a course, and
- that the three repeats involve three different courses;
- a student may go beyond three course repeats, but such repeats will not enjoy the privilege of the policy;
- all students will be able to enjoy the benefits of this policy irrespective of prior course repeat activity;
- this policy does not govern the repeating of graduate courses (see the Graduate Catalogue for the appropriate policy).
Students enrolled in a special topics course for a grade replacement must enroll in the same topic for which they originally received an unsatisfactory grade. Grades earned in repeated courses will not be used to replace grades earned as part of a degree once it has been conferred.
Note: A failing grade received owing to admitted or adjudicated academic dishonesty shall not be replaced if the course is repeated. Both the penalty grade and the new grade shall appear on the student’s transcript and count in the student’s grade point average. A student may not appeal the policy stated in this paragraph to any faculty or administrative level.
