Policy Statement
Effective fall 2022, establish a campuswide repeat rule for all undergraduate academic programs at IU Indianapolis, IU Columbus, and IU Fort Wayne using LATEST as the default rule.Procedures
Application of the LATEST repeat rule means that when an undergraduate student repeats a course in excess of the course catalog limits, only the latest (most recent) attempt counts towards the GPA and credit hours. All other attempts are dropped and do not count in the student academic statistics.
Alignment under single repeat rule of LATEST does not impact the following policies/practices:
- Ability for academic programs to consider individual student exceptions to campus repeat rule through designated exception process
- Program requirements limiting the number of allowable attempts of a course
- Program requirements or prerequisites related to age of original course completion
- Financial aid eligibility (federal regulations for repeated courses remains unchanged)
