Course Forgiveness

If students repeat a course, the higher/highest grade awarded (excluding a grade of W) replaces all previous grades for that course in the computation of the cumulative grade point average. 

When a student completes a course more than once, the highest grade will be counted in the GPA and all other grades excluded from the GPA. Official Wallace Community College transcripts will list each course in which students were enrolled. Course forgiveness will be implemented automatically after the course(s) have been repeated.

Implementation of course forgiveness at the College does not guarantee that other institutions will approve such action. This determination is made by the respective transfer institution.

A student may repeat a course more than once, but the course may be counted only once toward fulfillment of credit hours for graduation.  

NOTE: STUDENTS SHOULD CHECK FINANCIAL AID REGULATIONS REGARDING REPETITION OF COURSES.
