If you take a course at the university that is equivalent to a course you transferred in to the university, you will lose credit for the transfer course. The course repeated must be identical to the first course taken (same department, same course number and title, same number of credits). You may not repeat a course after graduation.
If you take a course at the university that is equivalent to a course you transferred in to the university, you will lose credit for the transfer course. The course repeated must be identical to the first course taken (same department, same course number and title, same number of credits). You may not repeat a course after graduation. Exceptions:
After the Schedule Adjustment Period they cannot be registered for any given course more than twice. A student's dean's office may grant an exception allowing an additional course repeat. In this case, students must present a plan for successfully completing the course. All attempts will be counted toward the total limit for repeatable credits.
A student withdrawing from a course does not receive a refund. Failure to submit a withdrawal form before 4:00pm on the day of the withdrawal period deadline will result in a grade of "F". Non-attendance does not constitute withdrawal. For Continuing and Professional Studies deadlines, please see the appropriate Academic Calendar. Tools & Resources
both your marks make cgpa. you cant SAC a failed course. SAC only works when you pass in the first attempt. If you have a requirement for the course you failed, you can retake it but your second attempt will not count towards your CGPA. If You didn’t get above a 50 the two marks count in your cgpa and show up on your transcript.
If a student repeats by transfer a course that was taken before or during the semester in which the student reached 24 credits attempted (including transfer credits ) and the transfer grade is higher, then the original grade in the course will be excluded from the G.P.A. calculation.
Any grade earned in prior attempts of a repeated course will appear on the student's transcript, regardless of whether the grade is dropped from, or averaged into, the cumulative grade point average.
All regular faculty and staff employed at least 50 percent are eligible for tuition remission. Contractual employees are only eligible to attend classes at their home institution and the benefit is specified in the employment contract.
Tuition remission is a program that provides employees with an opportunity to take classes at a University System of Maryland institution with waived tuition.
All regular full-time faculty/staff employed at least 50% are eligible for tuition remission for up to (8) credits per semester at any USM institution or reciprocal institution (Morgan State University, St. Mary’s College of Maryland, and Baltimore City Community College). Part-time faculty and staff may receive tuition remission in proportion to their full-time equivalent (FTE). Tuition remission also applies to fellows, graduate research assistants, and graduate teaching assistants but does not apply to their family members.
All of the University System of Maryland institutions participate in the tuition remission program.
If the dependent child or spouse has already earned an undergraduate degree from any institution, they are not eligible for tuition remission.
Retirees: Yes, retirees will be billed by the University of Maryland, Baltimore Central Billing Office for the taxes owed on any taxable tuition remission.
Spouses are not eligible for remission at reciprocal institutions (Morgan State University, St. Mary’s College of Maryland, or Baltimore City Community College). They are only eligible in courses toward a first undergraduate degree within the USM.
PA school admissions committees need to know that you have mastered the basic science material on which the PA school curriculum relies. If you get a poor grade in an important class, they will wonder if you can handle that kind of material and if you will have the foundation on which to build.
Past performance is the best predictor of future performance, so if you know, for example, that organic chemistry was a bugger for you the first time, don’t put anything else on your plate the second time around. You don’t need to retake classes at the same institution.
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. For example:
Retaking classes is time consuming, expensive, and generally a pain in the hip extensors ( look them up, if you don’t know what I’ m referring to…) But in some cases it is exactly what needs to happen to get you over the bar and into PA program.
You don’t need to retake classes at the same institution. In most cases, PA schools care very little where you took a course. If you can choose a better instructor or a better program, do it; the point is to do well at the course.
A few more things to remember: There isn’t much sense in retaking a course for a mediocre grade – doing so will raise your GPA even less. And if you do poorly on a course the second time you take it, you have reinforced the idea that you can’t handle that material – not at all what you want.
Likewise, students on judicial suspension should confer with the Office of Student Judicial Programs to clarify the terms of their suspension. Upon meeting the terms of their suspension, students must apply for reinstatement through the Office of Undergraduate Admission and Orientation.
In anticipation of your return, the university will automatically assign you a registration appointment during the university’s Advance Registration period. Therefore, upon return to the university, students should immediately meet with their departmental academic advisor to review their academic history, discuss their academic plans and develop a proposed class schedule. The advisor will then issue an electronic registration clearance that will permit students to register during their assigned registration appointment period.
Two or More Semester Break in Enrollment (Good Academic Standing) – Apply for Readmission
Student should apply early in order to take full advantage of advising, registration and course availability.
COURSE/TERM WITHDRAWAL. A student may find it necessary to withdraw from a course, or in exceptional circumstances, from the entire term. Although this may occur for a variety of reasons (medical situation, family emergency, etc.), the process for withdrawal is the same.
On the Classes& Grades topics page, select “Student Schedule & Registration”. Select the “Drop” tab and place a check mark next to each course that you wish to drop. Then, select the button labeled “Drop Selected Classes”.
In the event of an extended absence, the student should consult with their course instructor and academic advisor to explore options such as an incomplete grade or a course/term withdrawal. INCOMPLETE GRADE.

There is no limit to the number of courses a student is allowed to retake. (This has changed.)
A grade of W (withdrawn) does not count as having "taken" the class. Only the last grade in a course is used in computing a student's cumulative Grade Point Average (cum GPA). Note that it is the last grade, not the best grade, that counts.
A student is not allowed to retake any class a third time (i.e., enroll a fourth time). If the course is needed to satisfy a graduation requirement, then you should contact the Chief Undergraduate Advisor in ECE. A grade of W (withdrawn) does not count as having "taken" the class.
Except for courses of a professional nature, which regulations of a particular college may designate as non-repeatable, students may substitute passing grades for repeated failed courses in the computation of cumulative grade-point averages. Except for non-repeatable courses, students must repeat all required courses which they have failed. Courses in which F grades have been received must be repeated and passed before students may take courses for which those failed are prerequisites.
Unless a failed course is repeated within the deadlines for grade substitution, cited above, both the original failing grade and the repeated course grade are counted in computing grade-point averages. Although the provisions of the grade substitution rule and the requirements for maintaining satisfactory academic standing may indirectly limit the number of failed courses which a student may repeat, no formal limitation is placed upon the number of failed courses that may be repeated.
A course substitution is not permitted under the provisions of this regulation unless a course has been dropped as a University offering and an alternate course has been authorized as a suitable substitution by the chairperson of the department that offered the course. Once a student has reached the credit limitations cited below, no further courses may be replaced for the purpose of grade substitution, nor may a student who has used the maximum number of course repetitions for the purpose of grade substitution petition to revoke one or more of these substitutions in order to permit course repetition and grade substitution in an additional course or courses.
Course repetition is permitted only in accordance with the policies cited below, the provisions of which are applicable only to courses taken at the University of Massachusetts Lowell and consequently do not apply to off-campus courses. A course substitution is not permitted under the provisions of this regulation unless a course has been dropped ...
Except for courses of a professional nature, which regulations of a particular college may designate as being non-repeatable, students may repeat a course previously passed with a grade of C-, D+, or D within the provisions of the grade substitution rule cited above. When a course previously passed has been repeated within the provisions of this regulation, the cumulative grade-point average is appropriately corrected for the semester in which the course is repeated. If the grade for the repeated course is lower than the original grade in the course, the lower grade may be deleted under the provisions of the grade deletion rule (see above). Credit is never granted twice for a course that has been passed and subsequently taken again and passed for a second time.
