Repeat Course Policy
Repeating Courses at the University of Florida
Repeated UF course work is counted in the computation of a student's UF grade point average as many times as grades for that course are recorded, although credit hours will be awarded only once.
However, when a student earns a C or higher in a course, repeats that course and earns a C or higher on the subsequent enrollment, the new grade is neither computed into the UF grade point average nor awarded additional credits.
Students who entered UF with credit for Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) courses who then repeat the equivalent course at UF will receive a grade fo the UF course and no credit for the prior work.
Outcomes when repeated course work involves UF course work only:
| Grades Earned | GPA/Credit Computation | First grade lower than C; second grade C or higher |
Each grade computed in GPA; credit earned only once |
First grade lower than C; second grade lower than C |
Each grade computed in GPA; credit earned only once |
First grade C or higher; second grade lower than C |
Each grade computed in GPA; credit earned only once |
First grade C or higher; second grade C or higher |
Only first grade computed in GPA; credit earned only for first attempt |
|---|
Grades received at other institutions will not be averaged with grades received at UF. Repeat course work taken at UF will result in calculation of only the UF grade in the UF grade point average, with credit earned only once.
Outcomes when repeated course work involves transfer and UF course work:
| Grades Earned | Course work taken at another institution then repeated at UF | Course work taken at UF then repeated at another institution | Any grade combination for first and second courses, as illustrated above | Only UF grade computed in GPA; credit earned only once |
Only UF grade computed in GPA; credit earned only once |
|---|
In the case where all repeated course work was taken at other institutions, no grades will be calculated into the UF GPA and credit is awarded only once.
Repeat course equivalencies are identified based on the state's common course taxonomy. Refer to the Statewide Course Numbering System for the definition of course equivalencies.
