2020-2021 Undergraduate Catalog

Grade Recalculation (Repeating Courses for Grade Recalculation)

    Undergraduate courses taken by undergraduate matriculated students are eligible for repeat under this policy. Beginning with Fall 1987 Semester, courses completed with grades of A-/ B+/ B/ B-/ C+/ C/ D/ F/AF may be repeated. Graduate courses cannot be considered for grade recalculation.

    Guidelines:

    1. If the grade in the repeated course is higher, it will be included in the GPA. The former grade will be designated with an “R” prefix to the grade on the student transcript and excluded from GPA. If the grade in the repeated course is the same or lower, both grades will remain in the GPA. Course credits are earned one time.

    2. Only four (4) repeated courses or twelve (12) credits, whichever is greater, may be excluded from the GPA. 

    3. A course grade may not be recalculated more than once.

    4. The request for recalculation of the GPA must be submitted after the course has been repeated. Once elected, this option may not be changed nor revoked.

    5. All courses submitted for consideration under this policy must be Kean University courses. No transfer credit can be considered in the recalculation of the GPA. (Transfer credit is not included in Kean University GPA.) 

    6. Students may neither repeat a course for grade recalculation after graduation nor submit a Request for Grade Recalculation after graduation.
