Repeat Policy

This policy is in effect for all students starting at Lake Superior State University as of the Fall 2001 semester. If you began taking classes prior to the Fall 2001 semester, this policy does not apply.

You may repeat a class in which you earn a grade other than W or N only twice without special permission and only under the following conditions:

• Courses transferred from other institutions are included in this policy.
• Both the original and repeat grades will show on the transcript, but hours earned toward graduation will only count once.

• For the purpose of calculating the cumulative grade point average, only the grade of the last attempt will be used.

• To repeat a course more than twice, the student must attain the permission of the course instructor and the dean of the college offering that course. Permission is only granted under exceptional circumstances.

When repeating a course, you should check the "R" (repeat) column of the Course Registration Form or if enrolling on-line, please notify the Registrar's Office at registrar@lssu.edu.
