Course Repeat Limits

You may attempt a course twice at your own discretion provided you have met admission and prerequisite requirements.

3rd attempt

You must seek permission to register for the course the 3rd (and subsequent) time.

To get permission to take the class:

  • Attempt to register for the class. You will see this error: Repeat Limit Error.
  • Click on the error message.
  • Explain why you are seeking permission to register again.

Notification of approval or denial will be emailed to your WCC email address within 2 business days.

4th attempt

You must again seek permission, and there will be a $200 fee (per credit hour) in addition to the usual tuition and fees.

Grade

Whenever a course is repeated on a credit basis, we use your best grade and credits earned for computing your GPA. All entries remain a part of your permanent academic record.
