- The letter grade earned for the most recent enrollment will be used in calculating the cumulative GPA. This repeating of a course includes Northwestern courses listed as equivalent courses in the student information system.
- All previously earned grades remain on the transcript but do not count in final GPA calculations.
- In regards to financial aid and Title IV funding in relation to the repeating of a course, the following applies:
- A failed course may be repeated as many times as needed until passed
- A previously passed course may only be repeated once:
- This includes even those courses where a higher grade is required for the major (e.g., minimum of C for Business Core courses, etc.)
- This does not include courses designated as repeatable (e.g., ensembles, workshops, etc.) as these are not restricted nor limited (unless designated otherwise) and, therefore, a student may repeat these courses as often as needed
- If a student finally passes a failed course with a passing grade, he/she may repeat the course one more time to try and achieve a higher grade
- This policy does not apply to courses designated as repeatable (e.g., workshops, co-curricular activities, etc.) in the Catalog.
