Yes. If you fail a course, you can repeat it. Whether it's required depends on the course type:
- Required courses: retaking the course is mandatory. You can't graduate without passing it.
- Elective courses: you can retake the same elective, or switch to a different one.
Both grades appear on your transcript, but only the higher grade counts toward your CGPA.
Nexford allows up to three attempts per course. A second failure moves your retake to a Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Plan, and a third failure results in dismissal from the program.
Note: This article reflects the policies in the current catalog. If you are enrolled under a previous catalog version, course repetition rules may differ. Please refer to your applicable catalog or contact your Success Advisor for clarification.
