What is Repeat Forgiveness and Repeat Credit and how do I declare a repeated course?
A student may repeat any of the courses that he or she has taken at JMU. All grades will be included when calculating the student’s grade point average. There are, however, certain exceptions to this rule. Students may elect to repeat up to two courses during their enrollment at JMU on a “repeat forgiveness” basis. As a result of the “repeat forgiveness” option, the university will exclude the previous grade and credit hours earned for the repeated course when it calculates the student’s cumulative GPA and earned credit hours total, regardless of whether the previous grade was higher or lower than the repeat attempt. Both grades will appear on the transcript. The student must either declare the “repeat forgiveness” option at registration or complete the appropriate adjustment form prior to the end of the course adjustment period. A student may not exercise the repeat/forgiveness option for courses in which that student was assigned a grade as a result of an Honor Code violation. Course
