A student’s grades for repeated courses will be removed from GPA calculations, regardless of the original grade earned. Only the best grade and its associated credit will be calculated in the GPA and earned hours totals. Other attempts for the course will appear on the official academic record but will be annotated to indicate they do not count for academic credit or GPA calculation. This policy applies only to courses taken at MSU Denver, and it does not apply to courses designated as repeatable toward degree requirements.
To qualify for this policy, a repeated course must carry the same title, course number, and semester hours as the original course. Officially recognized course equivalencies will apply, excluding transfer course equivalencies. The determination of course equivalency will be made by the Office of the Registrar in consultation with the Office of Academic Affairs and the academic department offering the course.
A grade will not be removed from GPA calculations once a degree has been conferred if the course was required for the degree conferred. Students who have earned a degree at MSU Denver and subsequently take additional courses or work toward a second degree may use this policy for courses in which they are enrolled after the first degree is awarded.
A permanent “F” assigned as a result of academic dishonesty will not be removed from GPA calculations.
A student may be awarded financial aid funds for one retake of a passed course. All repeated courses will count towards Satisfactory Academic Progress calculations and could impact financial aid eligibility. Please see the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships for additional information on how repeating courses may impact your financial aid eligibility. All credit hours earned for initial and repeated courses will be deducted from a student’s remaining COF (College Opportunity Fund) stipend eligible hours. For details on how repeated courses might impact Veteran Education benefits, please visit with the Veteran and Military Benefits office.
