Beginning this fall, George Mason University approved a university-wide change to the rules pertaining to repeating courses (AP. 1.3.4 in the Catalog). You are now limited in taking courses designated as “non-repeatable for credit” to a total of three times.  Dropping or withdrawing (W grade) from a course is not counted as a repeat in this policy. Permission for a fourth attempt must be requested via your academic advisor, and might not be approved.

Given these new repeat limits, if you are repeating a course we strongly encourage you to actively ensure your success by doing the following:

• Let your course instructor know that you are reattempting the course and ask about ways to be successful this time.
• Schedule an appointment with your academic advisor to discuss your academic progress this semester.
• Utilize the academic support resources such as:
  • Learning Services
  • Writing Center
  • Tutoring support
  • Counseling and Psychological Service

Do you have more questions about the Course Repeat policy?  Contact the CEHD Office of Student and Academic Affairs.  We’re here to help.
