Retaking Coursework

Changes to Financial Aid regulations will prohibit, in some cases, payment of previously repeated courses. These changes were effective with the Summer 2012 term.

Rules will permit payment for retaking a course under the following conditions:

  • If a student earns/receives a non-passing grade (I, R, W, F) in a course, the student may retake the course and can be included for payment.
  • If the student passes the course (D is considered passing), the student may retake the course one more time to improve the grade and can be included for payment
  • Any second or subsequent repetition of a passed course may not be counted for payment
  • Retaking courses will be counted in evaluating the student’s record for Satisfactory Academic Progress and maximum time frame eligibility (www.delmar.edu/protect_your_financial_aid.aspx)
