REPEATABLE COURSES
Three types of courses are designated as repeatable:
1. Intercollegiate Athletics
Courses in which student athletes enroll to partici-
pate in an organized competitive sport sponsored by
the district or a conditioning course which supports
the organized competitive sport.
2. Intercollegiate Academic or Vocational
Competition
a) Courses that are specifically for participation in
non-athletic competitive events between students
from different colleges may be designated as
repeatable. The course must be tied to the stu-
dent’s participation in the competition. The event
must be sanctioned by a formal collegiate or
industry governing body.
b) Enrollment is limited to no more than four times.
This enrollment limit applies even if the student
receives a substandard grade or “W” during one
or more of the enrollments in such a course or
petitions for repetition due to special circum-
stances.
c) When a course is repeated pursuant to this sec-
tion, the grade received each time shall be
included for the purposes of calculating the stu-
dent’s grade point average.
d) Apportionment shall be limited.
3. Required by CSU or UC For Completion of a
Bachelor’s Degree
Repetition of the course is required by CSU or UC
for completion of the bachelor’s degree. Courses are
limited to four attempts and this enrollment limitation
applies even if the student receives a substandard
grade or a “W.”
