so here is my university's class retake policy...
"REPEAT RULES
A student may repeat a course, but the repetition will not eliminate the previous grade from the record. A course may be repeated only once unless written authorization is provided by the chair of the department in which the course is offered or, in the case of an undepartmentalized school, by the dean.
ILLEGAL REPEAT
A student may not repeat a course in which a grade of C or higher has been earned. This is considered an illegal repeat.
GENERAL REPEAT RULE
If the initial grade is D+ or lower (or a C- in cases where an academic unit requires a C or higher), both the initial grade and the repeat grade are included in the computation of the students cumulative grade-point average (CGPA).
If the initial grade is a D or D+ (or a C- in cases where an academic unit requires a C or higher) and the repeat grade is passing, the number of credits required for graduation will be increased by the number of credits repeated.
Registrations that involve repeating a course in which a grade of C or higher (or C- in cases where an academic unit does not require a C or higher) has already been earned do not earn quality points or credit hours, nor count as credits attempted.
Courses repeated after graduation will be posted to the transcript showing the grade received; however, the CGPA and credits earned will not be modified based on the grade received for the repeated course."
Im currently a senior taking a gap year prior to matriculation, trying to do some GPA recovery. I was planning on retaking orgo I (which I got a C the first time around) in the spring, but after briefly talking to one of the temporary pre-med advisors (the pre-health department chair got a better job and the whole department is currently going through a transition period) I found out that this may not be possible.
How do people normally take repeats? Do those schools not have this "illegal repeat" policy? I would much rather retake orgoI instead of taking a upper level science class... Any suggestions?
My planned spring semester looks like this:
MICROBIOLOGY 301 + LAB (required for graduation)
ART 263- Intro to glassblowing (required for ART minor)
BIOCHEMISTRY 545 (3 credit- research course)
MATH 210 (Intro to Linear Algebra)
14 credits total
thoughts? too easy? too tough? should I add another UL sci? add another easy A?
Any comments are appreciated...thanks
