YOU MAY REPEAT A COURSE ONLY IF YOU MEET ALL OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS

  1. A Student may repeat a course only once, only at St. Olaf, and only when the grade received in the course was C- or below, U or N.
  2. A course cannot be repeated after the satisfactory completion of any course in the same department for which the previous course is a prerequisite.
  1. A repeated course may be taken on an S/U basis only if the course was originally taken S/U and a U was received.   If a course receives an S, it may not be repeated regardless of the actual reported grade.   A course that originally received a U may be repeated on a graded basis. 
  2. In some departments (Dance, ESAC, & Music for example) you may retake some quarter (.25) credit classes and they are not considered repeats under this policy, please consult the catalog or check with the Registrar to confirm which quarter credit classes may be repeated.

 

A course may earn credit only once.  The repeated course will be computed into the GPA and be added into the total number of course credits completed, even if the grade is lower than on the original course.  The original course will always remain on the transcript but it is removed from the GPA and total course credits.

 

WARNING: Seniors - remember that you will “lose” a credit toward graduation if you repeat a course for which you received a passing grade initially.  Check your graduation requirements on your degree audit to determine if this repeat will affect your graduation.  Feel free to contact the Registrar’s office to check on this if that would help you.

 

If the original course had a different number, title, or credit value than the one you will be taking, the department chair or interdisciplinary program director must sign below giving her/his approval to the new course as a replacement for the original course.
