Repeating Courses and Texas Three Repeat of a Course Rule
A student may repeat any course previously taken at UT Tyler that would not normally be repeatable for credit if the last grade received in the course meets the criteria for their career level, which is “D” or “F” for undergraduate students and “C”, “D” or “F” for graduate and doctoral students. Repeated courses may not be taken on a CR/NC or Pass/Fail basis.
According to Texas Education Code 54.014, students repeating a single course two times (meaning the course was taken three times) may be billed tuition at the non-resident undergraduate student rate for the same number of semester credit hours. All grades will appear on the student’s official transcript. Once the degree has been awarded by UT Tyler, a student may repeat a course taken prior to graduation, but the repeated course will not be used to recalculate the grade point average.
Students who repeat a course in which they previously earned credit hours based on a grade of “D” or higher, and earn an additional grade of “D” or higher, without using the grade replacement option (See Grade Replacement policy) may only apply earned credit hours from one course completion toward the 120 unique credit hours required for a baccalaureate degree (See General Baccalaureate Degree Requirements) or the hour requirements for a graduate/doctoral degree.
Students cannot enroll in repeated courses through the myUTTyler Student Center; submission of a Course Repeat/Grade Replacement Enrollment Form, found on the Registrar's Form Library, to enroll@uttyler.edu or the One-Stop Service Center is required for all course repeats. See the Grade Replacement policy for additional details.
