A student must repeat a course that he or she has failed if the course is either a required course or a prerequisite for another course that the student wishes to elect. A student may repeat a course in which he or she has received a passing grade. All elections of a course remain on the transcript. The Michigan semester hours and the Michigan honor points from both the original and repeat elections, except in those cases involving cross-campus transfers, are included in the GPA calculation; credit hours toward program requirements are counted only once.
The following rules govern the repeating of failed required courses in the undergraduate degree programs.
- If a student earns a grade below “D” (1.0) in a required course, they must repeat the course.
- If a student earns a grade below “D” (1.0) in a course that is a prerequisite for a later course in a sequence, they may continue with the next course in the sequence, but must repeat the failed course.
- If a student earns a grade below “D” (1.0) in a second course (whether consecutive or not) in a sequence, he or she cannot continue with subsequent courses in the sequence until all earlier courses in the sequence have been satisfactorily completed prior to (and not concurrent with) election of the next course in the sequence.
- If a student withdraws from a required course, they must repeat that course in its entirety at a later date. If the course is a prerequisite for a later course in a sequence, the course in which the withdrawal occurred must be satisfactorily completed prior to (and not concurrent with) election of the later course.
- When a student is required to repeat a course and when, in the interim, the credit hours have changed and/or the course content has changed significantly, the program chair shall determine the extent of the remedial work required.
The following rules govern the repeating of failed required courses in the Master of Architecture and Master of Urban Design degree programs.
- If a student earns a grade below “C-“(1.7) in a required course, they must repeat the course.
- If a student earns a grade below “C-” (1.7) in a course that is a prerequisite for a later course in a sequence, they may continue with the next course in the sequence, but must repeat the failed course.
- If a student earns a grade below “C-” (1.7) in a second course (whether consecutive or not) in a sequence, they cannot continue with subsequent courses in the sequence until all earlier courses in the sequence have been satisfactorily completed prior to (and not concurrent with) election of the next course in the sequence.
- If a student withdraws from a required course, they must repeat that course in its entirety at a later date. If the course is a prerequisite for a later course in a sequence, the course in which the withdrawal occurred must be satisfactorily completed prior to (and not concurrent with) election of the later course.
