Hi, can I retake a course that I fail in? Are there any rules for it? I heard that you can only retake a failed course if your sessional average is over 60%? Is this true? I’m currently taking the course. Thank you.

hey there,
there always seem to be rules for everything, don’t there? sheesh. lucky for you, the rules on failing are actually kinda lax. i mean, it could be worse; they only make you swim in the pit of fire for ONE DAY, and i’d say that’s pretty good.
serious business though: to answer your question, you can certainly retake a failed course. if you failed a course, you won’t have the credit, meaning you can take it again and have another shot at getting the credit. it’s important to realize though, that taking the course again doesn’t magically wipe out the failing mark from the first time you took it. that mark stays on your transcript, and so will your new one. so keep that in mind.
also, if your sessional average under 60%, you’ll probably be put on academic probation – sucks, i know. fortunately, you still get to take courses and do all the regular school-time jazz when you’ve been put on probation, so yeah, you can take a course that you’ve previously failed just as easily as you can take any other one.
just try not to fail it again, eh? then they’ll make you spend a whole week in the pit of fire…
