Curriculum Course Repetition

Students who need a course to graduate may take the course as many times as necessary to pass it, providing space is available. Any course that has been passed or audited may not be taken for credit or audited more than twice per academic year subject to space being available after registration. The twice-per-year regulation also applies to single or elective courses that are not required for graduation. Physical education courses may not be audited. No single physical education course may be attempted more than twice.  Concurrently enrolled high school students in Huskins Bill or dual-enrollment programs may not attempt a course more than two times while concurrently enrolled.

If a student has a failing grade in a required course, the course must be passed prior to graduation.  If a student fails a prerequisite course, it must be repeated successfully before beginning the next course.  This could result in the student being enrolled for a longer period than is normally required to complete requirements for graduation.

As courses are repeated, the higher grade becomes the official grade.  Only a grade of "D" or above can replace an existing grade.
