Repeating Courses: UNO Policy on Grades

Undergraduate Courses - General Rule

When an undergraduate course is repeated, only the most recent grade will be counted into the GPA.
  • Letter-graded courses must be repeated for a letter grade.
  • ALL courses and grades will continue to be a part of the student's permanent record (transcript).
  • When determining eligibility for graduation with honors, every grade awarded is computed into the GPA.
  • Repeats must be completed before a degree is granted. Once a degree is granted, repeated courses will not change the GPA established at the time the degree was awarded.
  • Students can replace grades earned at another University of Nebraska system campus if they take the articulated equivalent course at UNO. Students should consult with an advisor prior to taking the course at UNO to ensure that they take the direct equivalent to the course they took elsewhere. Upon completing the course, either the student or the advisor must ask the Records & Registration Office in EAB 105 to eliminate the previous grade from their GPA.

Undergraduate Courses - Special Exceptions

Some courses, such as Thesis, Internship, Physical Activity or Independent Study can be repeated without removing the previous grade. (A complete list of these courses can be found by clicking on the links below under the heading "UNO Courses That Can Be Retaken Without Removal of Previous Grade." ) For these undergraduate courses, only grades of F will be removed "automatically" when these courses are repeated. All other repeats must be done by contacting the Records and Registration Office in EAB 105 and completing the "Removal of Previous Grades" form.

Graduate Courses - General Rule

Only grades of C's, D's and F can be repeated, and only the most recent grade will be counted into the GPA.
  • Letter-graded courses must be repeated for a letter grade.
  • ALL courses and grades will continue to be a part of the student's permanent record (transcript).
  • Repeats must be completed before a degree is granted. Once a degree is granted, repeated courses will not change the GPA established at the time the degree was awarded.

Graduate Courses - Special Exceptions

For courses such as Thesis, Internship, or Independent Study, repeats are subject to the same rules as listed above under "General Rule". Repeats in this category cannot be done automatically. Students must contact the Records and Registration Office in EAB 105 and complete the "Removal of Previous Grades" form.
