Minimum Passing Grade and Repeated Courses
Learners must earn a minimum grade in their courses to progress in the program. The below table lists the minimum acceptable passing grade for a course in each program in each school. A learner who earns a grade below the minimum passing grade must either repeat the course or, if an elective course, enroll in an alternate course of equal credit that will meet the degree program requirements. Learners that must repeat a course are automatically re-registered for the course in the consecutive term to align with the University's Continuous Enrollment Policy. A learner may also repeat a course to improve a grade previously earned. Any learner who withdraws from a course will repeat that course, or (if approved by Learner Support Services) take an alternate course.

Note: For a learner to graduate from a program they must meet the minimum GPA requirements for that program which may differ from the minimum passing grades listed above.
Whether the course is repeated, or an alternate course is taken, the learner is required to pay tuition for the course and to complete all course requirements. When a course is repeated, the previous grade earned for that course is replaced with an “R” once the repeated course is completed. The "R" grade will remain on the transcript. The grade points earned from the subsequent grade are used in computing the cumulative grade point average (CGPA). If the repeated course is not completed, the original grade will be recorded as the final grade.
