Unless otherwise indicated in the University Catalog, undergraduate students may repeat a course no more than two times (a maximum of 3 times taking the same course). Undergraduate students who wish to repeat an individual course a second time must create an action plan with the appropriate academic advisor and receive approval from the college associate dean or designee of their major course of study. These limits apply to courses completed at Cal State LA, whether as a matriculated student or through the College of Professional and Global Education or Open University.
Undergraduate students may repeat 28 units over their entire CSULB undergraduate career, of which 16 units maximum can be for grade forgiveness, in which the grade in the first attempt is excluded from the GPA. Students may repeat courses only if a D, F, WU, or NC was earned.
These limits apply to courses completed at Cal State LA, whether as a matriculated student or through the College of Professional and Global Education or Open University. Repeating courses under this policy does not result in the removal of the original record and grade from the transcript.
Students may have the opportunity to repeat a course, but they are limited to a maximum of three attempts for any given course. Attempts are defined as earning a grade in a course or late-dropping the course.
Students are not allowed to repeat a course in which they received a grade of A, B, C or CR, (except for courses specified as repeatable for credit and upper-division courses in an undergraduate student’s major completed more than ten years prior to graduation). No course for which a W was awarded counts toward the repeat unit limit.
Students in most programs can repeat a passed or failed course twice for degree or certificate credit, to a maximum of three attempts per course. Although the previous attempts remain on your academic record, only the most recent attempt counts toward your credit totals and grade point averages.
What can I do about courses I do not pass? Students may repeat a course up to two times for purposes of grade replacement if the grade of record is below a “C. ” Grade replacement is the circumstance in which the new grade replaces the former grade in terms of the calculation of GPA.
Retaking a course may raise your student's GPA (grade point average). In many schools, if a student retakes a course, the most recent grade will replace the lower grade in the student's GPA. The earlier, lower grade will remain on the transcript, but will not be included in the GPA.
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.
Minimum passing grades are D- for undergraduate credit and C for graduate credit (note: a C- does not count for graduate credit). However, University requirements or individual programs may have higher course grade requirements to successfully pass a course.
When Grade Forgiveness is applied to a student's record, the grade earned during the first attempt of the course is no longer factored in to the student's GPA but it will still appear on the student's transcript. In other words, the new grade replaces the old grade in the calculation of a student's GPA.
The second grade always replaces the first grade. However, you can retake a class and get a worse grade. For example, if you have a D (a passing grade) and retake a course and receive an F (a failing grade), you now have a failing grade in the course and will have to take the class for a third time.
What is a Course Repeat (a.k.a. Grade Forgiveness)? Also known as Grade Forgiveness, a course repeat is the repetition of a course for the sake of improving upon an earlier unsatisfactory performance in which the new grade replaces the old grade in the calculation of the grade point average (GPA).
No. Once your degree has been awarded, your record is closed and no further changes can be made.
There is a way to retake a class a fourth time, but you will need to write to a dedicated office to be granted permission to do this. Failing the class a fourth time will usually require you to drop the class or transfer to another program.
If you fail, it's usually smart to retake the class. Most colleges will allow you to retake a class one time and replace your new grade with the failed one. This looks better on transcripts and for financial aid purposes.
If your GPA stays below a 2.0 or you continue to fail classes, the university may enforce a mandatory leave of absence. Students who fail more than one class in a single semester can be dropped immediately from the university even if they were previously in good standing.
Undergraduate students may repeat a course no more than two times (a maximum of 3 times taking the same course). Undergraduate students who wish to repeat an individual course a second time must create an action plan with the appropriate academic advisor and receive approval from the college associate dean or designee of their major course of study. These limits apply to courses completed at Cal State LA, whether as a matriculated student or through the College of Professional and Global Education or Open University. Repeating courses under this policy does not result in the removal of the original record and grade from the transcript.

Grades Averaged (Undergraduate Students) Once a student reaches the 16 units for Grade Forgiveness and has not reached the maximum of 28 units, a repeated course will result in a grade averaged and calculated in the GPA.
Students cannot use Grade Forgiveness if the original grade was the result of academic dishonesty. Once a student reaches the 16 units for Grade Forgiveness and has not reached the maximum of 28 units, a repeated course will result in a grade averaged and calculated in the GPA.
Grades Averaged (Graduate/Credential/Certificate Students) Students pursuing second baccalaureates, credentials, certificates, masters or doctoral degrees may not repeat courses for grade forgiveness. Although these students may repeat courses for grades averaged, their courses are not subject to unit limits.
Note: A grade received in a course taken at another institution may not be used to replace a grade in an equivalent course taken at CSULB in the calculation of GPA but may be used to replace it for other purposes, subject to approval by the appropriate authority at CSULB, such as an advisor in the major.
Undergraduate students who wish to attempt an individual course for a third time must obtain approval from their academic advisor. Once an undergraduate student reaches the 28 unit limit, the student will not be allowed to repeat any additional courses without an approved academic appeal.
