POLICY 

Grade Replacement (effective FALL 2017) 

 
In Short: Manner in which a graduate student may repeat a course where the new 
grade replaces the original grade in the cumulative average (GPA). 

 
Graduate Students may repeat only one (1) course (limited to graduate-level courses) for 
grade replacement within any one graduate program. The last grade received replaces the 
previous grade in the cumulative GPA, and credit will only be awarded once. Students will 
not be permitted to repeat courses in which they have previously received a grade of (B) or 
better. Courses in which a grade of (B-, C+, C, F, WN, WU, or FIN ) is earned may only be 
repeated with both departmental and Office of Graduate Studies approval. 
 

Policy may not be used to replace grades in practicum, internship, thesis courses or any 
grade resulting from a violation of CUNY’s policy on academic integrity. In all cases, the 
original grade remains on the transcript, along with an indication that the course grade is 
not included in the computation of the GPA.
