Third Attempt Course Repeat Surcharges
All students enrolled in undergraduate courses for the Fall 1999 term and beyond are subject to an additional surcharge fee when they enroll in the same undergraduate college credit course three or more times. Completed courses, withdrawals, and courses with incomplete grades are counted as attempts, including courses repeated in order to raise the GPA or to achieve a specific grade. Courses that specify they may be repeated for credit are exempt. Students seeking exemptions for extenuating circumstances or financial hardship may submit a written petition with documentation to the Fee Appeals Committee, Student Accounts Office (MH 107).
Exemptions to the third attempt surcharge will be considered through a Fee Appeal Process.
Exceptions to the repeat course fee requirement shall be based only on extenuating circumstances, or financial hardship.
Extenuating Circumstances

- Medical condition or serious illness preventing completion;
- Death of an immediate family member;
- Involuntary call to active duty; or
- Other emergency circumstances or extraordinary conditions.
Special Limitation: students who withdraw or fail a class due to extenuating circumstances may be granted an exemption only once for each class.
Financial Hardship:

- Qualification for federal needbased financial aid; or
