NEW POLICY
INFORMATION:
New Academic Policy Approved
for Implementation in Fall 2009
Repetition of Courses
For courses taken at Benedictine University, undergraduate students,
both degree seeking and students-at-large, may repeat a course
in which they received grades of W, D, or F no more than two times.
Students may not repeat any course in which they receive a grade
of C or better. When a course is repeated for credit, the earlier
earned grade remains on the student's permanent record and will
appear on all transcripts. Only the last enrollment and earned
grade will be used in computing the cumulative grade point average
and awarding of credit. If a student wishes to repeat a course
originally taken at Benedictine University and in which an earned
grade was received, the repeat must be a course at Benedictine
University. A repeat may not be by independent study or by study
at another institution. The Academic Standing Committee may provide
exceptions to this policy. An earned grade is a grade of A, B,
C, D, and F.
Students who have graduated may not repeat a course for credit
in which they earned a grade of A, B, C, or D previously. A student
who has graduated may only audit a course in which they previously
earned credit.
New Chem 113 Pre-Requisite
(Effective Fall 2009)
Chem 113- Pre-Requisite: Math 110 with a
"C" or better or Placement into Math 111 or Higher,
and one year high school chemistry.
