Retake Policy Exceeded (Repeating Courses)

Effective Term: 2009FA

Consistent with the College’s position on repeating curriculum courses, students may repeat any mathematics course in an effort to earn a higher grade or to enhance her or his mastery of the course content. Students may not enroll in the same course more than three (3) times without approval of the Division Director or Discipline Chair. Students seeking an override for exceeding the College’s stance on repeating courses should adhere to the following guidelines:

  1. Initial requests for an exception to the retake policy should be initiated by submitting a Mathematics Division ‐ Retake Policy Exceeded Form to the Division Director or appropriate Discipline Chair. Upon receipt of endorsement by one of the aforementioned officials, the student will be allotted one (1) additional attempt at the course.
  2. In the event that approval of the initial request for an exception was not granted or that the fourth attempt at the course was unsuccessful, the student will be:

a. Required to take/retake the applicable mathematics portions of the Accuplacer assessment to insure proper course placement. The student will then be required to complete the prerequisite requirements that are indicated by this most recent Accuplacer assessment prior to being granted retake permission. Additional Accuplacer retest permission will not be granted.

Or

b. Required to take the necessary prerequisite course work. This applies to students that have not previously successfully completed the prerequisite coursework at CPCC.

Or

c. Redirected to the CPCC Office of Counseling and Advisement Services to receive more comprehensive guidance related to his or her academic goals or to the extenuating circumstances associated with the previous unsuccessful attempts.
