Grade improvement would not apply to courses that are designed to be taken multiple times. The most recent grade will be the grade of record whether or not it is the highest grade earned. For repeated courses, the attempts excluded from the grade-point average will be marked with an <strong>E<\/strong> and the grade of record will be marked with an <strong>I<\/strong> designating the inclusion of the course in the grade-point average calculation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#00274c;font-size:clamp(0.875rem, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 0.2rem) * 0.469), 1.25rem);font-weight:700\">Transcript Notation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>UM-Flint transcripts will reflect grades earned in all UM-Flint courses. Transfer students who successfully repeat a course at UM-Flint for which transfer credit has been awarded will lose the transfer credit when it exceeds the allowable maximum repeat credit for the course. Courses repeated at another institution after an initial attempt at UM-Flint will not receive transfer credit, nor will they improve their UM-Flint grade point average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#00274c;font-size:clamp(0.875rem, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 0.2rem) * 0.469), 1.25rem);font-weight:700\">Rackham Programs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Students in Rackham Programs should review the policies for the <a href=\"https:\/\/rackham.umich.edu\/\">Rackham Graduate School<\/a> on repeat guidelines as they may differ from non-Rackham programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><em>For questions about the course repeat grading policy, please contact the Vice Provost for Academic Affairs in the Office of the Provost.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/e\/2PACX-1vS-4lH36Jp1Tiz8uyJIsrimf6hCyDfuClr6miiERfgMEoebre9LVLIRxciO2TGmig\/pub\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Print-only Repeat Grading Policy<\/a><\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-secondary understrap-read-more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/provost\/policies\/repeat-grading\/\">Read More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":38,"featured_media":1824,"parent":1796,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1887","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/provost\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1887","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/provost\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/provost\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/provost\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/38"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/provost\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1887"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/provost\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1887\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2082,"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/provost\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1887\/revisions\/2082"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/provost\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1796"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/provost\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1824"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/provost\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1887"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
