Do I need to repeat a course?

You may need to repeat a course to meet program requirements.

Undergraduate students

  • Major and minor courses must be completed with a C or higher.

Graduate students

  • You must maintain a 3.0 cumulative GPA.
  • Some programs allow a C as the lowest passing grade, but it may affect your academic standing and require a repeat.
  • Programs that do not allow a C require a final grade of B (Meets Performance Requirements – MP) or A (Exceeds Performance Requirements – EP) to move forward.

GPA impact

  • The higher grade replaces the lower grade in your cumulative GPA.
  • Both attempts appear on your academic record.
