With permission of the School Dean, a student may repeat only one course that has been failed. The higher grade and course credits will be counted in the student's Cumulative Grade Point Average and toward the credits needed for the degree. Both grades, however, will appear on the student's official transcript. The repeated course must be taken at Notre Dame. A second grade of 'F' in any course will result in Academic Dismissal from the graduate program. A course with a grade of 'C' or higher may not be repeated.
