Repetition of Work

Graduate Courses

A student may repeat a course.  The grade received in the second attempt will supersede the original grade in the computation of the quality point ratio (gpa) if the second grade is higher.  Both grades remain on the transcript.  The course may be used only once for credit toward the requirements for the completion of the degree program.

Undergraduate Courses

A course that a student has completed may be repeated only with the consent of the chair of the department which offers the course or if a minimum grade is required to enroll in a subsequent course in a series.  If a student achieves a higher grade in the second attempt, that grade rather than the first will be used to compute the cumulative quality point ratio (gpa).  However, both the higher and the lower grades in the course remain on the student's transcript.

When credit for a graded course previously attempted at UNH is earned through a method which does not carry a grade with a quality point value, the previous instance of that course is removed from the cumulative quality point ratio (gpa) calculation.  However, both instances will be recorded on the student's transcript.
