University requirements concerning undergraduate student load are detailed in the catalog. Advisors should consider such factors as the student's abilities, time, grade point average, and course difficulty in recommending appropriate course loads. Students not in the College of Business who wish to enroll in upper-division business courses must be classified as a junior or higher and meet all course prerequisites. Enrollment in upper-division business courses must be approved by the Dean of the College of Business. The full repeat policy is outlined in the undergraduate catalog.
Advisors can approve the first repeat by simply approving the registration form.
If the repeat is for a former Eastern course or a transfer course, that course should be noted on the registration form. Second or subsequent repeats are permitted only under unusual circumstances and only with the written permission of the dean of the college of the student's first major. It is generally wise for a student to repeat a course as soon after the initial enrollment as possible. Grade replacement will be applied to the first six courses a student repeats, whether they are first repeats or approved second or subsequent repeats. However, no more than six grades will be replaced in a student's entire undergraduate career at Eastern Kentucky University.
