Repeating a Course

Print-Friendly Page

Return to: Grading 

Undergraduate students who receive a grade of D or lower or receive a U (Unsatisfactory) grade in a required or elective course may repeat that course.

Graduate students who receive a grade of C or lower or receive a U (Unsatisfactory) grade in a required or elective course may repeat that course.

The highest grade earned will be used to compute the grade point average. Both course registrations and grades, however, remain on the transcript record. Students who repeat a course may apply the course credits to the completion of degree requirements only once.

Students may retake a course only one time. Students who fail a required course twice will be dismissed from the university. A student who fails a required course twice is not eligible to be readmitted to the university unless the student successfully completes an equivalent course at another university and is able to transfer the course into Walden to replace the failed course.

Note: Check program requirements as certain courses are nontransferable.
