UCLA students may repeat up to 16 units of GRADED coursework in which they receive a grade of C- or below. If you repeat a course that you took for a letter grade, you MUST choose the same grading option when you repeat it. The same is not true for Pass/No Pass courses (see below). A course may be repeated only once.Although only the second grade earned (for better or worse) will be computed into your GPA, both grades will remain on your transcript.

After you have used the allowed 16 units of repeat credit, or if you do not have enough units left to repeat a course, you may still repeat a course in which you received a C- or below. However, both grades will be averaged into your cumulative GPA; the first grade will not be removed from the GPA.

No form or petition is required to repeat a class, all you need to do is enroll through URSA .  The Registrar's Office will automatically code the course as a repeat.

Restrictions

• You may repeat the same course only once.
• You may receive units for a repeated course only once.
• You will not receive credit for a course repeated after you have completed a more advanced course with a passing grade (i.e., Math, Chemistry, or foreign languages).

Repeating Pass/No Pass Courses

If you first took a course Pass/No Pass and did not pass, then you have the option of repeating the course for a grade or for Pass/No Pass again.  There is no limit to the number of pass/no pass courses you may repeat for those courses in which you receive a grade of "No Pass."

Unauthorized Repeats

A notation of "Unauthorized Repeat" or "Illegal Repeat" will show on your transcript if:

1. You received a C or better or a Pass the first time you took the course, OR
2. You repeat the same class more than once.

No credit will be given for an unauthorized repeat!
