Deferral Policy

Taking required prerequisite courses over for a higher grade:

Understanding that students need an opportunity to improve what may have been a “false start” in college, repeated course grades will be considered. If a course is repeated, the higher of the first two qualifying grades (A, B, or C) will be considered in the admission ranking formula. Only courses completed by the application deadline will be considered.

Exception: Applicants submitting a reapplication can have courses in progress in the Fall semester since the reapplication deadline is October 1 – December 1. The department will look up grades once they are posted.
