Students may repeat any course taken at BYU if the course is still being taught or an equivalent course exists. However, all grades are calculated into the grade point average (GPA) and all credit counts in the total hours. BYU does not remove the previous credit or grade from the transcript.
Students should also be aware that this is a BYU-Idaho policy and other institutions are not obligated to honor it. Academic Renewal may be applied only once during an academic career at BYU-Idaho.
BYU-Idaho offers a limited number of pass/fail courses. Students in these classes receive no letter grade; instead, they either pass or fail depending on whether or not they have met the course criteria. All pass credits count toward graduation but are not included in GPA calculations.
-Yes, if you discontinue before the add/drop deadline of your first semester at BYU or from your first semester back from a mission, you will need to reapply for admission. Does it affect on-campus housing? Yes, if you withdraw below 9 hours (undergraduates).
College students can retake a class a maximum of 3 times, most of the time. If they want to retake it a fourth time, they have to write a special letter to the school. It might not be worth it to redo a class so many times, as you would graduate late.
You will still need to repeat the course and will be liable for any fees associated with the course. It is important to remember: Your Grade Point Average (GPA) is calculated in accordance with the Calculation of Grade Point Average Policy (PDF 88k). Fail grades remain on your official academic transcript.
You can "retake" a class, but the grade would just replace your previous one, so it wouldn't really affect your gpa (unless you did poorly the first time, but then why would you want to take it again?)
Repeating Courses Students may repeat any course taken at BYU if the course is still being taught or an equivalent course exists.

The first thing you need to be clear about is that retaking classes (in most cases) has a minimal effect on your GPA, because retaken classes don't replace your low grades – they average in with them. That's right: your low grade won't be dropped – the retaken class grade will be added to it and averaged.
The fail grade will remain on your academic transcript and is included in your GPA calculation. You may be eligible to apply for removal of grades and/or remission of tuition fees if: you have experienced exceptional circumstances, and.
1) Not only do schools have repeat-option policies, most schools allow you to repeat more than one course. But you have to repeat a course that had a letter grade for the same course with a letter grade.
At some colleges, only first-year students can retake failed classes. At others, any student can repeat courses. However, schools often put a cap on the number of repeats — and you'll need to pay tuition each time. If you fail a class twice, you might want to consider a different major.
Repeating Coursework A course may be repeated only once. Although only the second grade earned (for better or worse) will be computed into your GPA, both grades will remain on your transcript.
“F” represents failure in the course. • “W” represents a withdrawal from the class. However, if the class is dropped during the first 22 calendar days (in- cluding weekends and holidays) of a semester, or the first 15 calendar days of a block, no annotation will be made on the permanent academic record.
Final Exam Retakes Depending on the policies of each individual course, students may be allowed one retake of a final exam. If a student chooses to retake the final exam, he or she must request to retake the failed final within 30 days; otherwise, the initial failing grade is posted to the permanent record.
Is it possible to still pass the class after failing finals or midterms? On average, professors will likely let you pass the class if you failed one final or midterms. Some professors finalize one's grade score by weighing the overall final, midterm, and homework or project-related scores.
Students may repeat any course taken at BYU: however, all grades will be averaged into the grade point average (GPA) and all credit will be counted. BYU does not remove the previous credit or grade from the transcript or the GPA calculations once a class has been repeated.
In order to assist students in their progress toward graduation, bring the university into compliance with new federal Title IV regulations and ensure students’ continued access to Federal Pell grants and Federal Stafford loans, BYU has modified its repeat and withdrawal policies:
Students who drop the course after the add/drop deadline (six days after a semester or term starts ) will be officially withdrawn.
Departments reserve the right to decide which courses may be challenged by examination. Religion courses, internship courses, exercise sciences and dance activity courses, and other activity participative courses, such as music, youth leadership, and ROTC, may not be challenged.
If a student drops from a class by the add/drop deadline, the transcript will not show any registration for that class. If the student officially withdraws from a class after the add/drop deadline but by the withdraw deadline, the record will be marked W (official withdraw). A W is not calculated into the GPA.
The request for review must be made within 30 days of the date of the written decision by the dean or director.
At the close of each semester the dean of each academic college will post a list of undergraduate students who are ranked in the top 5 percent of their college for the given semester, who have earned a minimum of 14 credit hours, and who have earned a minimum grade point average of at least 3.5 for the semester.
performing a task related to student discipline; or. performing a service or benefit relating to the student or the student's family , such as health care, counseling, job placement, or financial aid. To officials of another school, upon request, in which a student is enrolled, or seeks or intends to enroll.
The grade NS is placed on the student record when a grade roll has not been submitted to the Registrar's Office by the grade submission deadline. After the deadline, an official grade change must be submitted by the instructor, either online through the grade roll or with a Grade Change Authorization form.
BYU Online courses must be completed by the end of the semester. Each course includes assignment deadlines designed to help you complete the course on time. In some courses, you may be able to work ahead.
BYU Online courses are only available to matriculated BYU students, while BYU Independent Study courses are available to anyone—including high school and middle school students. BYU Online courses are included in your BYU tuition, while BYU Independent Study courses come at an additional cost.
No, unless you are required to be enrolled full-time and you withdraw below full-time (e.g. International students). It depends on your situation. All students admitted to BYU must attend (see definitions) in the semester or term for which they were admitted.
Please check with your advisor or program coordinator. A semester will count as attended when a student has a grade (including a w) for a class in any semester or term. You may meet with an Enrollment Services Counselor (801-422-7075) to ask questions.
Dropping ALL classes. You will no longer be enrolled for the current semester. (If you are only enrolled in one course and need to withdraw from that course, it is a discontinuance.) Discontinuing is considered a leave of absence for continuing students.

Students who need to complete semesters 2 or 3 from the old program will begin in semester 2 of the new program. To complete PathwayConnect, any student needs to have taken three religion or institute courses during PathwayConnect.
Retakes occur when individuals repeat PathwayConnect courses — either academic or religion — that have been previously completed . A retaken course replaces the credit and grade of the same previously completed course if the grade of the course retaken is higher. The highest grade of all the retakes is calculated into the PathwayConnect GPA and earned credits. Previous courses remain on the transcript and are designated as retake courses, but are not calculated into the GPA.
Students who transfer to another school other than BYU-Idaho must recognize that a transfer institution may not accept the retake course per this definition. A returning student is a student who goes one or more semesters without taking a PathwayConnect course, thus delaying completion of the PathwayConnect program.
Additionally, credits earned in any PathwayConnect course, no matter how long ago the credit was earned, are still valid, and can be used to place returning students appropriately back into the program. This includes credit from institute and religion courses.
