What is the College of Health maximum retake policy?

Question

Accepted Answer

The College of Health (COH) allows students to use passing grades earned in a third or subsequent course attempt toward degree requirements. Students are responsible for connecting with their academic advisor to ensure the appropriate exception is entered into the system and accurately reflected in MyDegrees.

An attempt comprises a final grade in a course earned at OSU or another college or university, where the grade is: A, A–, B+, B, B–, C+, C, C–, D+, D, D–, F, S, U, P, NP, or an I/Alternate Grade (where the Alternate Grade is one of these grades).

This policy applies to students who declared a College of Health major at any time.

Students in the Dietetics option should not take degree-required courses multiple times, since multiple attempts at a course will negatively impact their ability to find a Dietetic Internship.

Students are responsible for informing their advisor once they have earned the passing grade for a course. Once notified, the advisor may enter a force complete for the requirement.

Note: This policy change is NOT retroactive. Grades earned for courses before Fall 2021 will fall under the former policies. Second graded attempts should be retaken where they were taken originally.
