Under Ohio State's general course repeatability rule, students can, with permission from their college, repeat a course they have already taken. Both grades will remain on the transcript and will be counted in calculating grade-point average. Only the credit hours for one attempt will be counted toward the total hours required for your degree.
However, the Grade Forgiveness Rule allows undergraduate students to request to repeat a course under a different arrangement: once the second attempt is completed, the grade and earned credit hours of the first attempt are permanently removed from the student's GPA calculation and total earned hours.
To use Grade Forgiveness students should enroll in the course they intend to repeat and submit the Grade Forgiveness petition form by the last day to drop the course without petitioning (usually the 10th Friday of the term).
If a student needs to correct an error on a Grade Forgiveness petition form, they should email registrar@osu.edu. Once a Grade Forgiveness petition form has been received, it cannot be withdrawn.
