AVOIDING OBSTACLES

BSC policy allows students to repeat some classes for which they received a passing grade.  However, TAP policy only allows students to repeat courses that were previously failed.  Therefore, if a student is repeating a class with a passing grade and wants to receive TAP they must be enrolled for at least 12 credits in addition to the course(s) they are repeating.

Students are now limited to repeating a course once.  If a student registers for a course a third time it is considered an illegal repeat and will not be used in determining a student's credit load for financial aid purposes.  Also, in determining whether a student is making satisfactory academic progress for federal aid the repeated course will be counted as attempted each time it is taken but counted as completed only once.
