Repeating Courses



A student who earns a grade of D or F in up to four courses taken at Rutgers University–Newark or New Jersey Institute of Technology may repeat the course at either school, and have the lower of the two grades eliminated from the cumulative grade-point average. The option is subject to the following limitations:

1. The original D or F remains on the transcript.

2. The repeated course must carry the same subject number and course title, or the equivalent, as approved by the student's general academic adviser, or, if the course is in the student's major program of study, the major adviser.

3. If the course is repeated more than once, the repeat option cancels only one grade (the lowest); all other grades are included in the computation of the cumulative grade-point average.

4. Degree credit is awarded only once, no matter how many times the course is repeated.

5.  This grade replacement policy may be applied to a maximum of four courses.  Students may repeat additional courses, but the original D or F for every course exceeding the four-course limit remains in the computation of the cumulative grade-point average.
