A common question we receive is how we're if you repeat coursework within our holistic review process. If the student has earned AC grade or higher in a course, then we do not recommend repeating the course since we are unable to provide double credit for the same course.

If a student earns below AC grade than a repeat attempt is necessary in order to earn transfer credit for the course.
