Repeating Courses

Unless otherwise stated in the catalog, students are not permitted to repeat courses previously taken at Villanova if they have received a passing grade without approval from the Assistant Dean, Academic Programs. If approved, the following conditions apply:

  • All course attempts will be recorded on the Villanova transcript. Repeating a course does not replace the first attempt.
  • All grades will appear on the Villanova transcript and factor into the GPA.
  • The repeated course will only count for credit towards program requirements and graduation once.
  • No course can be taken a third time; a student may only repeat a course once.
