REPEATING COURSES<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Curriculum courses at WPCC may be attempted a maximum of three times. A course shall be considered attempted when one of the following grades is assigned: A, B, C, D, F, SC or NC.\u00a0 Students seeking to retake a course beyond the third time must complete a Student Petition.\u00a0 To determine eligibility for graduation, only the grade points earned for the attempt with the highest grade will be used in the computation of the grade point average. Transitional courses are exempt from this policy. A program may have a more restrictive policy regarding how many times students may take a particular course for credit to fulfill program requirements. For an exception to this program policy, students may complete a Student Petition.\u00a0 Additional regulations for repeating courses may be enforced for students receiving financial aid or VA Education Benefits.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0II. COURSE SUBSTITUTES<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Core course substitutions may be made only for courses in the arts and sciences discipline areas. All other substitutions must be approved by student petition or course substitution form. In no case shall the combined total of any transfer credit hours, credit by exam hours and course substitution hours represent more than seventy-five percent (75%) of the specified number of hours required for the degree or diploma toward which students are applying those credits.<\/p>\n<p>Adopted: June 7, 2022<\/p>\n<p>Cross Reference: Policy 05.01.020 Acceptance of Transfer Credit<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I.
