Extended-X Policy
Undergraduate students may petition for a grade substitution under the Extended-X policy. Undergraduate students may retake a course for which they received a grade below an A. A student may exercise this option for no more than three courses, totaling no more than 10 credit hours. A student may use this option only once for a given course. The student’s transcript shall record both grades. For the course retaken, only the second grade shall be counted in the determination of the student’s grade point average (GPA). In the Jacobs School of Music, performance study at the 400 level, masterclass (I300/I301), and major ensemble are ineligible for this type of grade petition.
