Repetition of Courses

Students at Dickinson State University repeating a course that was previously taken on this campus or subsequently taken on the campus of another accredited institution:
1.         Will have both grades recorded on their transcripts;
2.         Will not have the credit and grade of first course calculated in the GPA;
3.         Will have the repeat grade and credit recorded when the amount of credit given for the repeat is different than the credit for the original course. The original grade and credit will remain on the transcript BUT will not be used to fulfill graduation or GPA requirements.

Students at Dickinson State University taking a course that was previously taken at another campus must obtain the approval of the college dean or the Vice President for Academic Affairs to receive permission to treat the course as a “repeat.”  Once this permission is received, the above policy will apply. The Office of Academic Records will record the course as a repeat that was taken previously on campus and that has the same title, course number, and credit.
