If you failed the course after Attempt 1, you are free to go forth without any trouble on ROSI for Attempt 2.<\/p>\n<p>2. If you PASSED the course after Attempt 1 but that grade isn&#8217;t high enough for what you need for a program, you may retake it (Attempt 2). Attempt 2 will be recorded as EXT and it won&#8217;t count towards your 20 credit count for the degree, nor will it count toward your cGPA.<\/p>\n<p>Note: Attempt 2 is also Attempt <a href=\"http:\/\/25.media.tumblr.com\/tumblr_mctnvfvBS01qg23kvo1_cover.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">The Last<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>3. Finally, there&#8217;s the rule that you read: If you did poorly after Attempt 1 and you decide you want to repeat the course for reasons other than &#8220;oh, that course is a prereq,&#8221; you get 1.0 FCE to fulfil for that unknown purpose. Bottom line is that if you pass a course, you can only retake it once and you best have a legitimate reason.<\/p>\n<p>Now if you have 2.0 FCEs of repeated courses for prereq purposes&#8230; well, there shoudn&#8217;t be any problems. All those second attempts were extras so they won&#8217;t affect your credit count. Likewise, <a href=\"http:\/\/25.media.tumblr.com\/tumblr_lw5qhaNJPG1qhzlojo1_500.png\" target=\"_blank\">there&#8217;s no limit<\/a> to the number of courses you can retake after having passed the first time around.<\/p>\n<p>So you&#8217;re fine, simply put.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t freak out. You&#8217;re basically just blurring two different rules together, so nothing to worry about. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Cheers!<\/p>\n<p>aska<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>hi, I have seen a rule in regulation which says&#8221;A student may repeat 1.0 full-course equivalent in which he or she has received a passing mark for reasons other than to gain a required mark above passing to qualify for entry into a Subject POSt or a course required for a prerequisite. &#8221; I&#8217;m confusing that how many course I can repeat during my university study?
