Repeated Courses A graduate student will be permitted to repeat a course in which either a "C" or lower grade was earned .When a graduate student repeats a course with a grade of"C" or lower the first time, the better grade is the only one used in computing the cumulative GPA, and the units are counted only once. Both grades are shown on the student's permanent record. An undergraduate student will be permitted to repeat a course in which either a "UW;' a Dor an F grade was earned. Courses in which grades earned were either C or 8, may be repeated only with ap proval from the Office of the Registrar. When a course is repeated where an undergraduate student has received a "UW;' a Dor F grade the first time, the better grade is the only one used in computing the cumulative GPA, and the units are counted only once. Both grades are shown on the student's perma nent record. When a course is repeated where an undergraduate student has received a C or 8 grade the first time, both the first and the second grades figure into the total cumulative GPA computation, the units from both courses are added to the student's unit total. and both grades are shown on the student's permanent record. Only courses taken at Biola University will be used to change course grades. In addition, the student must notify the Office of the Regis trar, the semester a course is repeated.
The normal full-time load for a Rosemead student is 12 to 16 hours per semester, but not less than nine hours. Without the advisor's approval, a student may not carry over 16 units in any semester.
