Repeating Courses

  

No course that the student has passed with a grade of D- or higher may be repeated for grade or course credit unless (1) the course description indicates that it may be repeated or (2) the Academic Standing Committee grants permission. In such cases, the grade earned in a repeated course does not replace the previous grade and does not erase it from the transcript. Both the first and the second grades will be calculated when computing the student's grade point average. If a student repeats a course illegally, that course will not be counted toward graduation, or computed into the student's grade point average, or posted on the student's transcript. Adjunct courses, music lessons, and music ensembles are exceptions to this rule and may be repeated every semester unless it is stated otherwise in their descriptions.

Students who have received credit by examination or transfer will lose this credit if they take a course at Cornell that is the same as, or similar to the examination or transferred course. In general, all introductory courses in the same academic discipline are considered to be similar even though their titles or actual contents may vary. Students who believe that their two courses are significantly different should consult the department chair for permission to receive credit for both.
