Only Tippie students can use this form to request the second-grade-only option. College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS) and pre-business students must use the process established by CLAS. 

Before completing this form, Tippie students should discuss using the second-grade-only option with their advisor and confirm they are eligible to use a second-grade-only option.

A request for a second-grade-only option cannot be processed unless the session in which the course is being repeated has begun. Students admitted to Tippie may use the second-grade-only option on any courses except those numbered over 3005 in ACCT, BAIS, BUS, ECON, FIN, MSCI, MGMT, MKTG, and ENTR.

Policies

  • You may apply the option to up to three courses.
  • The option may be used once per course and cannot be retracted from the record.
  • A course taken at another institution may not be used under the option.
  • A UI course may not be repeated at another institution under the option.
  • If the course was first taken for a grade, it must also be the second time.
  • Pass/nonpass courses may be taken for a grade the second time.
  • Courses using this option may be taken in any mode of delivery.
  • Graduate colleges may recalculate GPA using all grades visible on the record.

Procedure

If you are using the second-grade-only option, you must register as usual for the course that is to be replaced. After the session has begun, then you should request the second-grade-only option. Once the second grade has been taken, records will be marked with "#" to show that your first grade has been replaced.
