Repeating Courses

1. The repeated course must be either (a) the same Otterbein course that was originally taken or (b) the direct equivalent at another institution as determined by the Registrar's Office. When in doubt, obtain written clarification from the Registrar's Office. No other College personnel are authorized to make the clarification.
2. If a course has been transferred to Otterbein and is then repeated at Otterbein, there will be no credit awarded for the course (not even elective credit).
3. Students must inform the Registrar's Office in writing when a course is being repeated and must do so at the time of registration.
4. Courses must be repeated at Otterbein unless written permission to take the course at another institution is obtained from the Registrar's Office. When the repeat is finished, the Registrar's Office must be notified so that the repeat can be recorded. The credit hours must be the same in order to replace the grade in its entirety.
5. Only the most recent grade and hours will be counted in determining the GPA even if the most recent grade is lower than the previous one.
6. All attempts and grades appear on the transcript record.
7. Courses repeated after graduation will not change the graduation GPA.
