There is no limit on the number of attempts allowed for the student to repeat a course, as long as he/she does not receive a passing grade in any of the previously repeated courses.
UCF allows two grade forgiveness attempts over your academic career unless you exceeded that number as part of the AA degree in which case all attempts are accepted but no additional attempts are allowed. UCF only allows grade forgiveness for courses originally taken and repeated at UCF.
Submissions to the system are reviewed by faculty within the appropriate academic department to determine if the course taken at another institution is equivalent to the course taught at UCF by College of Business faculty. If the academic department determines that the course is equivalent, the transfer credit will meet degree requirements.
Students who have been disqualified from UCF will have a hold on their account from the Registrar’s Office. Disqualification means that the student is no longer a UCF student. A Disqualified student seeking readmission to the University may submit an application for readmission to the Registrar’s Office.
Grade Forgiveness offers a student the opportunity to retake a course and earn a second grade that will be substituted for the previous grade.
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.
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.
Courses receiving a “U (Unsatisfactory)” will not earn credit. Courses that are marked “P (Pass)” will also result in credit earned and will not impact your UCF recalculated GPA. However, courses that are marked “F (Fail)” will be viewed as a failing grade and an “F” will be included in your UCF recalculated GPA.
You will most likely have to appeal to be able to retake the course a fourth time. Once again, the college you attend will have clear guidelines on how many times you can fail a class and how many times you can take the same class over.
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.
Students may not use this one-time-only allowance to subsequently repeat a passed course again after having repeated the same course for reasons noted in i) above, i.e., they may repeat a specific passed course only once.
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.

Students are allowed a maximum of one repeat attempt in efforts to meet the 2.0 Primary Core GPA and a minimum grade of C in the first course in the major. It is the student’s responsibility to thoughtfully consider the admission standards prior to electing to repeat a Primary Core course.
The minimum UCF GPA required to be considered a student “in good standing” is 2.0. If a student’s UCF grade point average falls below a 2.0, the student is placed on Academic Probation. Being on academic probation can potentially impact financial aid loans & scholarships, student organization membership, and internship opportunities.
If a student elects to repeat a Primary Core course, all six attempts will be used in the Primary Core GPA calculation. Admission into any College of Business BSBA program requires meeting the above admission standards.
University policy allows students to enroll in a maximum of 17 credit hours per fall and spring term, and a maximum of 14 credit hours per summer term (14 credit hours for summer A, B, C, and D combined). The College of Business fully supports this policy. Exceptions to this University policy are rare.
If any course in the Primary Core is repeated, either to earn the minimum required grade of “B” for a first course in the desired major, or to earn the minimum required grade of “C” for any other Primary Core course, both attempts will be counted in the calculation of the Primary Core GPA.
Business majors are expected to complete their business coursework at UCF. Students may attend other schools as a transient student, but with limitations and prior approval from the College of Business. Students must receive approval from the College of Business before taking a course at another institution or the course will not count towards degree progress. If there is no record of an approved transient request for the transfer course, it will only count towards general elective credit.
Unofficial Withdrawals (Stop Attending All Classes) Federal law requires that UCF evaluate federal aid recipients who fail to earn any credit during a semester, in order to determine if the student stopped attending classes on or before the 60% point in the semester.
If you withdraw from all your classes on or before the 60% point in time of the semester, which is calculated using calendar days, a portion of the total federal aid funds awarded must be returned, according to the provisions of the Higher Education Amendments of 1998. The return of these funds will result in the student owing a balance to the University and/or the Federal Government. Please review the Treatment of Federal Aid When a Student Withdraws for details of this policy.
As a result, you may be ineligible for all or a portion of your financial aid, depending on the number of hours that you are dropping and the number of hours remaining. This action may affect all types of aid awarded.
