A student
is permitted to repeat any course for which he or she has received
a grade of "C" or below. In the event that the new
grade obtained by retaking the course is superior to the previous
grade, the new grade replaces the old grade in its entirety.
That means that if a student retakes a course in which he or
she got an "F", for sake of argument, and earns a
"B" the second time around, the "B" replaces
the "F", while the credit hours earned REMAIN THE
SAME. This helps a student who has been struggling to rebuild
their Grade Point Average by retaking courses in which they
had previously done poorly and doing well in them the second
time around. Should the student receive a grade in their second
attempt which is INFERIOR to the grade received the first time
they took the class, the grade WILL REMAIN THE SAME, and not
assume the poorer grade earned the second time. The student,
however, must pay the full tuition for the course each time
it is taken if the course is being taken for credit. Free-Lance
students and Audit students may repeat any course as many times
as they desire provided that adequate seating is available for
conventional students.
Failure
in a course shall necessitate its repetition except by special
permission of the professor of the course and the approval of
the Ephesians 4 Center for Learning.
