Retaking Courses

A student who so wishes may retake any Earlham course as part of his/her regular semester course load. In such cases, the highest grade earned for the same course appears on the student's transcript; only the highest grade is calculated into the student's GPA. Academic credit is awarded only one time for courses that are retaken. The lowest grade is replaced with RT (Retake). The petition for retaking a course is available in the Registrar's Office.
