| I. A course taken at CSU San Marcos in which a grade of B- (2.7) or less is received may be repeated once for purposes of omitting the original grade from the GPA calculation and satisfying GPA requirements. A course taken at CSU San Marcos in which a grade of NC is received may also be repeated. All course repeats should involve consultation with the graduate program advisor. |
| |
| II. When a course is repeated, both the original grade and the grade earned in the repetition will appear on the transcript. |
| |
| III. If a course previously taken for a letter grade (including plus/minus grading) is repeated for a grade of CR/NC, the original grade(s) will be calculated in the GPA. |
| |
| IV. Unless a student submits a Graduate Student Course Repeat Request Form to Cougar Central, both grades will be used to calculate the student's GPA. |
| |
V. If a student submits a Graduate Student Course Repeat Request Form to Cougar Central, the original grade earned will be omitted from the GPA calculation. Since CR/NC grades do not enter into the GPA calculation, it is not necessary to submit this form when repeating a course in which a grade of NC was earned.
|
| |
VI. A Graduate Student Course Repeat Request Form cannot be filed until the student has completed the repeat. A Graduate Student Course Repeat Request Form cannot be filed if the student received a grade of CR, NC, F, I, RD, SP, U, WU, RP, W, or IC when the course was repeated.
|
| |
| VII. A maximum of two (2) different courses may be repeated within an approved graduate plan of study at CSU San Marcos.

The substitute course must be taken after completion of the original course. |

| VIII. Both the original course and the repeated course must be taken at CSU San Marcos. |
