1. Lamar State College-Orange students will have one opportunity to replace a grade earned in an undergraduate course.

2. A student who wishes to repeat a course must do so before enrolling in any other course that requires the repeated course as a prerequisite.

3. If a student repeats a course, the official grade (for calculation of grade point average) will be the second grade earned--regardless of whether it is higher, lower, or the same--although the first grade will remain on the student's official transcript.

4. The repetition of a LSC-O course at another institution will not replace the grade earned at LSC-O in the calculation of a student's cumulative grade point average, nor will a grade earned in a LSC-O course replace a transcripted grade earned in the same course at another institution.

5. Any grade earned by further repetition of a course (third and subsequent grades earned in the same course) will be included in the calculation of a student's cumulative grade point average.

6. A "Q" grade for a dropped course or a "W" grade for withdrawal from the college counts as the one allowable attempt at course repetition. If the student receives a "Q" or "W" grade on the repeated course, the original grade will be calculated into the grade point average and the student will not be allowed a subsequent attempt to replace the original grade under this policy.

7. Before repeating a course for grade replacement, a student must receive approval from the Registrar or the Director of Admissions, Records, and Financial Aid.

8. College Honors will be determined on the basis of a cumulative grade point average that includes ALL grades earned, even those replaced according to this policy.
