Students may attempt a course a total of four times in an effort to earn a passing grade.
- Once a course is passed, students are only able to use federal financial aid to pay for a retake of that class one time. Any additional retakes of the passed class cannot be covered with federal financial aid. If a course is failed, students may continue to receive federal funding for each repeat of the class until a passing grade is earned as long as the student is meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress.
- A student who attempts a course without passing three times will be placed on Academic Warning and will be allowed to make a final fourth attempt while on Academic Warning. .
- If the student passes on the fourth attempt, they will be removed from Academic Warning (as it pertains to the Course Repeat Policy) and will continue with their program.
- If the student fails the fourth attempt, they will be administratively withdrawn from the institute. There will be no appeal or readmit in this case.
- The student may apply for readmit into a different program that does not have the failed course as a requirement.
- Students may not repeat a course that they have previously passed, unless that course is listed in the catalog as a “repeatable for credit” course.
- All course attempts (including withdrawals) are included in the total attempts calculations for this policy.
