Request for Course Repetition
Information and Directions
Non-Repeatable Courses:
District policy, per State regulation, permits a student to enroll in a non-repeatable course up to three times in order to alleviate
substandard academic work. Substandard grades (D, F, FW, NC, and NP) and withdrawals (W) are included in the total attempts;
military withdrawals (MW) are NOT included. The most recent grade will be the grade calculated into the student’s GPA.
Repeatable Courses:
You may not enroll in a repeatable course more than the total number of times listed in the college catalog.
