If after reviewing the IRS information you need further clarification, we recommend that you consult a qualified tax advisor prior to filing tax paperwork.
You may repeat courses for credit if you receive a D+ or lower, or NC grade. For the first 16 units of repeat, only the most recently earned grade and grade points will be used in calculating your GPA. For example, if you take a course and receive an "F" and then repeat the course and earn an "A", only the "A" will be included in your grade point average. The record of the "F" is not removed from your transcript but a note appears on the transcript indicating the "F" grade does not count because it was repeated for full credit. A comment under the new "A" grade indicates that full credit is allowed. If you repeat a D and get an F the second time, you will lose the four units from the D grade. After 16 units of repeat, both grades will be averaged in the GPA. When repeating a class, be careful with the grading basis: if you took the course originally for a letter grade, you must repeat for a letter grade; if you signed up originally as S/NC, you may repeat S/NC or for a letter grade.

"S" grades indicate C (not C-) or better work —students receive unit credit but the grade point average is not affected. Consult with your advisor on whether S/NC is a wise choice—some strategy is involved. For example, if you have put off taking World History until the final quarter of your senior year and you take the course S/NC and earn a C- (NC), you will not earn credit and will not be able to graduate. Had you taken the course for a letter grade, the C- would be passing and your worries about graduation minimized. You have until noon of the end of the eighth week of instruction to decide about grading status.
