Penn State provides you a maximum of two attempts to successfully complete a course, including late drops. With permission from the college, you may be granted one additional (third) attempt.
In coordination with your adviser, you will need to fill out the special course repeat form for a third attempt of a course. The deadline to submit this request for any given semester is 5 days prior to the start of start of classes.
After submitting the form, the Office of Undergraduate Academic Advising will review your request. If approved, Advising will submit your request to the Registrar for enrollment of the course.
It is critical for you to reflect upon the changes that you will make to ensure the third attempt of the course will be successful. For additional information please review Academic Administrative Policies and Procedure Manual- Policy C-7 (Course Repeats).
