Course Repeats
ARTS, FACULTY OF
A student may repeat a failed course only once. This restriction does not apply to courses required to satisfy the Faculty of Arts language requirement or to MATH 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, and 105, any of which may be repeated twice, or courses in first year English (which a student registered in the Faculty of Arts may repeat twice).

BUSINESS, SAUDER, SCHOOL OF
If students obtain a ‘Fail’ standing on a Commerce course ending in the first term, they may re-register for the same course in the second term, provided the course load in the second term does not exceed 18 credits. A failed course may be repeated in the Summer Session if available.

EDUCATION, FACULTY OF
Because courses in the Faculty of Education change significantly over time, certain advanced curriculum and instruction courses and other second-level courses may be re-taken for credit, but only five or more years after they were taken previously and only with the prior permission of the Faculty. Two versions of the same course may not both be used for credit towards the same degree or diploma, though one may be used towards one program (e.g., a Bachelor of Education or one diploma specialization) and a more recent version towards another program (e.g., a different diploma specialization). Basic curriculum and instruction courses and introductory courses without prerequisites may not be repeated.

FORESTRY, FACULTY OF
If you fail a required course, it can only be repeated once. If you happen to fail a course for the second time, you will need to make arrangements to take the course at another institution.
If you pass the lab portion of a failed course, you can repeat the course without having to repeat the laboratory portion of the course, provided you take the course in the subsequent session. The lab grade will only be held over for one academic session.
LAND AND FOOD SYSTEMS, FACULTY OF
There is no official policy for course repeats; however, a student can only repeat a failed course twice.
NURSING, SCHOOL OF
Except in unusual cases, no student may repeat a course more than once. A student who fails a course for a second time, or fails two or more courses, will be required to discontinue study in the School of Nursing for at least one year.

SCIENCE, FACULTY OF
No failed course may be repeated more than once without special permission of the Dean. This does not apply to courses in first-year English or mathematics, which may be repeated twice. Courses on the Science Credit Exclusion List are considered to be the same course for the purposes of this rule.
If you pass a course in the Faculty of Science you will NOT be able to repeat the course for higher standing.
