If otherwise eligible, students may retake coursework for one of the following reasons: Failed the Course: Students who have failed the course and earned no credit hours. Withdrawn Course: Students who withdraw from a course will receive either a Withdrawal without penalty (W), Withdrawal with penalty (WF), or Unearned F (UF), Failing grade (F). Please refer to the grading section of the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy for information when a W, WF, UF, F grade will be granted. Stale Course: By State or Accreditation requirements a student must pass a course within a specific window of time. For example, the course must be passed within the last 5 years and the course was taken 7 years ago so it must be repeated. Meet Progress or Professional Requirements: Students who have successfully completed the course and earned credit hours but are required to improve their grade point average (G.P.A.). For standard term-based programs, DCEH policy, as required by Department of Education regulation, will allow financial aid to cover a single repetition of a previously successfully passed course if the course is required as part of an academic plan to appeal a Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) termination or to help students who need a specific grade or G.P.A. to practice upon graduation or progress in the program, per the academic catalog or course requirements published and provided to students. For example, the student passed the course but the grade received is not sufficient for progression. The student receives a C but, in order to graduate, a B or better is required. 2350 Corporate Circle, Henderson, NV 89074-7737 Page 4 of 8 Addendum Publication Date: 05/31/18
