Repeating Courses

A student may choose to repeat a Neumont course in order to improve their cumulative Grade Point Average. Credit is only given for the last grade earned when repeating a course. Repeated courses will appear on the student’s transcript. The first attempt will also be shown; however, the student's cumulative Grade Point Average (cGPA) is recomputed to count only the most recent attempt. All repeats are charged at the current tuition rate.

Credits may only be earned once per course. If a student retakes a course they earn credits just once, but credits from each enrollment count toward credits attempted for the purpose of calculating pace.

Repeating a course may have an impact on a student’s eligibility for Title IV funding. Federal regulations allow students to receive federal aid for only one repeat of a previously passed class. The Department of Education considers any grade above an F to be passing, even if an institution requires a higher grade for the student to earn credit. This means that a grade of C-, D+, D, or D- will be considered a passing grade for the purposes of this repeating courses policy only, even if the school or program policy requires a higher qualitative grade to have been considered to have passed the course. Students should contact the Office of Financial Aid for more information and to discuss the application of this policy.
