Grade Replacement Policy
Effective January, 1999, undergraduates may repeat five courses, not to exceed 15 credit hours. To repeat a course, students must submit a written request to be approved by the student's college. If approved by the new college the original course is deemed to be identical in content to the new course. Both courses are shown on the student's academic record and are marked as "repeated" but only the last grade applies to the cumulative point average.
Academic Fresh Start
A University of Cincinnati undergraduate student who has been readmitted to the University after an absence of at least three years may be granted Academic Fresh Start. Upon the approval of Academic Fresh Start, a notation will be recorded on the student's record and the student's cumulative grade point average will be initiated from the date of reentry. The credit granted for prior work will be established by the student's college at the time of readmission and will be treated in accordance with the college's advanced standing policy.
