Repeating a Course
Repeating
a course can improve your grade, your GPA, and ensure you meet major
requirements. When you repeat a course, only the most recent grade will be used
when calculating your GPA. However, all attempts at the course will remain on
your official transcript.
If I retake a course at another
college, is my grade at Oakland replaced?
In order to replace a grade for a course, you
must retake the course at Oakland. We will not replace the grade if you
take the class somewhere else.
Need to
repeat?
You
should be able to register for the class on SAIL.

Do you need to repeat a course for a 4th time? If so, here is how to go through the process.
- Students are required to submit a success plan with the petition for a 4th repeat
- Students meet with faculty member of course intended to repeat and develop a plan for success (including attendance, tutoring, etc.).
- This plan must be submitted with the petition.
- If you are unaware who the faculty member for a course is, contact your Faculty Adviser or Department Chair.
- Students need to indicate what semester they are taking the course (either on the plan or petition).
- Upon approval you will receive an override to allow registration. You will then be able to log into SAIL to register for the course.
