It very important that you inform the Office of Military & Veteran Affairs of ANY changes that are made to your schedule. If you do make a change to your schedule please complete the
Repeat Courses
Classes that are successfully completed may not be certified again for VA purposes if they are repeated even if VA didn't pay for the previous attempt. There are exceptions, however. If a course is required for graduation and meets the requirements for one of the 3 exceptions below, a student may repeat the course and be certified for it until it is successfully completed. There is no limit on the number of attempts.
No further information needs to be provided to VA regarding those courses.
A student may be certified for a repeated course if:
- The student failed the class.
- If a program requires a higher grade than the one achieved in a particular class for successful completion.
Example: if a Nursing program requires a 鈥淏鈥� or better in Biology, then that class may be repeated if a 鈥淏鈥� or better was not earned. That requirement must be in the school catalog.
NOTE: If a student chooses to repeat a course that was successfully completed, just to improve their GPA, that course cannot be certified to VA.
- If a student successfully completed a course so long ago, the school requires it be repeated.
Example: If student took computer programming 10 years ago and got a 'B', it may be too outdated to be accepted for credit now.
NOTE: If the school does not require the student to retake the outdated course, but the student chooses to repeat it, that course cannot be certified to VA.
