Grade Forgiveness Policy

Beginning Fall 2019, Undergraduate students may retake University of Delaware courses and have the lowest of the repeated course grades excluded from the GPA. Through the academic term during which a student attains a total of 28 credits attempted at UD, if a student receives a C- or lower on a UD course, then that course may be retaken later with only the higher grade included in the calculation of GPA and in the calculation of quality point deficit. A student may apply this to a particular course only once.

A student may only apply this to a total of two courses or eight credits, whichever is less. This policy may not be applied to courses taken Pass/Fail or to courses in which grades assigned are the result of an academic dishonesty finding through the Student Conduct process. A variable-credit course must be repeated for the same number of credits to be used for grade replacement. No University of Delaware course can be removed from the GPA by a transferred course.

All course attempts and grades will be recorded on the transcript, with a notation to indicate which courses are not included in the GPA.
