You may find yourself needing to repeat a course from a previous semester. We want to outline the University of Minnesota's repeat policy as well as to clarify how repeated courses are calculated into both your Cumulative and Technical GPA.
- You may repeat each course one time.
- Both grades for the course appear on your official transcript.
- The course credits will be counted only once towards your degree and program requirements.
- Only the second enrollment for the course will count in your cumulative grade point average (GPA); however, all attempts will count in the technical grade point average (GPA).
- If you wish to repeat a course for a third time, you will need to file an Academic Policy Petition. Petitions to repeat a course for a third time are rarely approved. In that case, you may need to take an equivalent course at another University and transfer the credit back to the U of M.
