Repeating a Course

A student may repeat only once any course taken for undergraduate credit that is not subject to restrictions within undergraduate programs. A W grade counts as a repeat. A student who wishes to repeat a course a second time may request permission to do so from the Academic Standing Committee. The form for petitioning the Academic Standing Committee is available online here.

Once a course is repeated, only the higher grade earned will be included in the calculation of the cumulative grade point average and will appear on the student’s transcript. The original course and grade will also appear on the transcript. Only grades for courses repeated at Rhode Island College will be adjusted.
