Academic Information
A student may repeat completed courses in an effort to improve his/her level of competency without restriction or limitation on the number of courses that may be repeated, or the number of times a specific course may be repeated. The most recent grade received will replace the previous grade and will be the prevailing grade on the student's official academic record, and be used for recalculation of the student's GPA. If the re-registered course grade is lower than the initial or preceding grade, the student has no recourse available to appeal for the reinstatement of the higher grade unless extenuating circumstances are clearly in evidence.
A grade of "NC" (No Credit) cannot be used to replace a letter grade previously earned. Grades earned in equivalent courses taken at another campus of the University (UNL, UNO, UNMC) may be used to replace a grade earned at UNK. Students should notify the Office of Student Records and Registration at UNK of their intent to repeat a course. Credit can be issued only once for a repeated course. Only those courses identified as University equivalents by the academic departments may be considered under this policy. No other substitutions will be allowed. Courses taken outside the University of Nebraska system cannot be used to replace a grade earned at UNK.
