3. Description

This article describes the course repetition policy at MUST University, including the number of allowed attempts, passing criteria, and the impact on the GPA (Grade Point Average). Students may be required to repeat courses if they fail to achieve the minimum required grade or choose to improve their academic performance. Understanding the rules regarding course repetition, the limits on attempts, and their implications for the academic transcript and GPA is essential for effective planning and academic success.

GPA stands for Grade Point Average. It is a standardized way of measuring a student’s academic performance, commonly used in the United States and other countries with similar educational systems.

 Minimum passing grades:

• Undergraduate courses require a minimum grade of "C".
• Graduate courses require a minimum grade of "B".

 Repeating for a better grade:

• Students may repeat the course at their own expense.
• Only the highest grade is calculated into the GPA.

 Attempt limit:

• A course can be taken a maximum of 3 times (2 repeats).
• Failing a course on the 3rd attempt results in program dismissal.

 Internship/Practicum repetition:

• May be repeated up to 2 times.
• A third attempt requires Academic Director and Program Coordinator approval.

 Capstone (graduate level):

• May be repeated once only.
• Repetition requires recommendation from the Program Coordinator and Capstone Advisor.

 Identical grades:

• If the repeated grade is the same as the original, only one is used in GPA.

 Additional rules:

• A final grade must be issued before repetition is allowed.
• Repetition is only permitted within 150% of attempted credits.
• Repeated courses affect SAP (Satisfactory Academic Progress).
