Course Repetition

A course may be repeated where the course is designated as repeatable by the college Curriculum Committee, the Board of Trustees, and the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office. A course not designated as repeatable may be repeated:

1. When the purpose of repeating the course is to address a substandard grade as provided in Board Policy 4220.1.
2. When, despite award of a satisfactory grade, a college counselor recommends repetition through use of the course auditing procedure provided in Policy 5201.
3. When necessary to meet a legally mandated training requirement as a condition of continued paid or volunteer employment.

Any course in which a grade of "D" or "F" or "NC" has been received may be repeated once in order to raise the grand and grade points. The better grade and grade points earned will be counted in computing the grade point average. Both the original grade and repeat grade will remain on the student's permanent record.

In no case will duplicate units be allowed toward graduation. A course must be repeated before the next advanced course to which it is a prerequisite is attempted. (Ref: BP 4220.1)
