It can be to your advantage to repeat a course in which you have received a deficient grade. See an academic advisor to discuss your particular situation. Guidelines for Repeating Courses - You may repeat a Berkeley course in which you have received a grade of D+, D, D-, F, NP, or U (XB courses taken through University Extension may be used to repeat Berkeley courses, and vice versa).
- If you have received a D+, D, D-, or an F in a course and you want to repeat the course, you must repeat it for a letter grade.
- If you have received an NP in a course and you want to repeat the course, you may repeat it for either a P or a letter grade.
- For the first 12 letter-graded (D+ or lower) units of repeated courses, the grade you receive in the course the second time will replace the original grade in the calculation of your grade-point average (GPA). Your original grade will remain printed on your transcript. The second grade replaces the original grade, even if the second grade is lower.
Note: Some professional schools, including law schools, use both grades in calculating your GPA for admission. - If you have repeated more than 12 units, both new and original grades will be averaged into your GPA.
- You may not take a course for a third time and receive grade points for it unless you have obtained special approval from the dean.
- If you repeat a course in which you received a grade other than a D, F, NP, or U, the course will count as part of your class schedule for the semester and the grade you earn will be listed on your transcript. However, the grade will not be included in your GPA, and the course units will not count toward graduation.
For more information about repeating courses, consult the General Catalog or make an appointment with an academic advisor.
