Repeated Courses. Students may repeat a course only if
a grade of D or F is earned. If a grade of C is earned, students
may not repeat the course for credit or to improve their grade-point
average.
Grades of F. If a student repeats a
failed course, the F can be deleted from the grade-point average.
However, it can only be done once for each course, up to a maximum of
12 credits. To have an F grade deleted from the grade-point average,
students must request an unofficial transcript from the Office of
Records and Transcripts by using the registrar`s office web site.
Students should then download and print a Deletion form from the Online
Academic Forms page of the Livingston College web site (http://livingston.rutgers.edu/academic),
complete it, and submit it to the Academic Information Center (AIC),
Lucy Stone Hall, Room A-216, along with the unofficial transcript. When
the Deletion request is processed, the original grade of F will remain
on the transcript with an E prefix attached; the repeated grade will
have an R prefix. These designations indicate that the grade-point
average has been adjusted to reflect that only the later grade is
included in the grade-point average.
Grades of D. If
a student repeats a grade of D, both grades (the D grade and the
subsequent grade) will stay in the grade-point average. Credit may be
earned only once for a course. Duplicate credits are not automatically
deducted and students are responsible for having the transcript
corrected. By utilizing the registrar's office web site, students
should request an unofficial transcript from the Office of Records and
Transcripts. Students should then download and print a Deletion form
from the Online Academic Forms page of the Livingston College web site
(http://livingston.rutgers.edu/academic), complete it, and submit it
to the Academic Information Center (AIC), Lucy Stone Hall, Room A-216,
along with the unofficial transcript. When the Deletion request is
processed, both grades will appear on the transcript, with a K prefix
indicating credits removed, and an R prefix indicating the
repeated course.
Pass/No Credit Courses. Students
who have earned 60 or more credits may elect to take a maximum of 6
credits on a Pass/No Credit basis. If the course is in the student's
major or minor, the student should contact the appropriate academic
department to determine whether they will accept a Pass/No Credit
course. Courses taken to satisfy college distribution requirements
(CDRs) may not be taken Pass/No Credit. The decision to elect this
option must be made no later than the end of the fourth week of the
term, and once made, it cannot be changed. Grades of A, B, and C
correspond to Pass; grades of D and F correspond to No Credit. To
qualify for the Dean`s List in any given term, students must take at
least 12 credits graded within the regular grading system.
Physical Education Courses. Individual
and team activities courses granting 1 or 2 credits each may be taken
for degree credit only by students majoring in exercise science and
sport studies.
Foreign Language Courses. Students
with two or more years of a foreign language in high school or whose
native language is other than English may not receive degree credit for
elementary courses or courses numbered below their placement.
