Course Repeat

Course Repeat

A student may retake a course at Trine University; however, no more than two courses may be retaken during the student’s course of study. The number of repeated courses may be further limited by individual departments, and scheduling constraints may impact the length of the program.

Whenever a course is repeated on a credit basis, the higher grade and credits earned completely replace the previous grade in the satisfaction of requirements and computation of cumulative grade-point average. All entries remain a part of the student’s permanent academic record.

Course repeat means that a student may retake a course at Trine University for a better grade. When a student has repeated a course, the honor points for the higher grade are substituted in the cumulative grade point average.

The student's record will not show additional hours attempted for the repeated course. Additional earned hours are given if a student passes a class where an "F" or "U" grade was originally received. Courses which are repeated remain on the student's permanent record (transcript).
