Course Repeat Policy (Effective Fall 2025)
Course Repeat Policy (Effective Fall 2025)
Link to UA Catalog to read the policy: https://catalog.arizona.edu/policy/courses-credit/grading/course-repeat
Effective the Fall 2025 semester, the University of Arizona has updated and changed the Course Repeat Policy. The link to the policy is above, but there are a few things that you should be mindful of:
Repeating a Course
Repeating a Course
Students may attempt the same course at the University no more than three times.
Undergraduate Grading for Repeated Courses
Undergraduate Grading for Repeated Courses
When undergraduate students repeat a Regular Graded undergraduate course, the student's GPA reflects only the highest grade earned in the repeated course. Credit is earned only for the completion that is included in the GPA.
All grades earned in the course remain on the academic record and transcript; grades from each attempt on a course may be taken into consideration for students applying to competitive majors or graduate programs at the University of Arizona or other institutions.
What this means:
What this means:
Students cannot attempt a course more than three times -- this is now the official policy. If you are unable to pass a course with the required grade in three attempts, please meet with one of the advisors.
Grade Replacement Opportunity (GRO) has effectively been changed - the "spirit" of GRO remains, but how it is applied has changed:
A) Students will no longer be required to "file" for GRO; it is now an "automatic" process. If a student repeats a course, only the highest grade will be counted as part of their GPA.
B) Under the old policy, students could only GRO up to three unique courses. With this new policy, there is no limit on the number of courses a student can retake and benefit from the highest grade. Please note, students can still only repeat the same course three times.
C) As a reminder, only UA courses count towards UA GPA. Students hoping to retake a UA course and benefit from this policy, must retake the same UA course.
Please meet with an advisor if you have questions about this new policy and how it might affect you, including upper-class students who might benefit from this new policy!

Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internships (SULI)
Are you an undergraduate student or recent graduate who is ready to use your major in a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) field or science policy to help make a difference in the world? Then the Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship (SULI) is for you!
When you join SULI, you’ll be part of a Department of Energy (DOE) team that’s working together to advance scientific impact and discovery. Expand your skills and knowledge at a DOE national laboratory using state-of-the-art facilities and advanced scientific instruments.
Each year, students from around the country participate in SULI at one of the 17 participating DOE laboratories/facilities. In this comprehensive internship, you’ll be mentored by a leading science expert who will guide you in a specific research area to gain maximum exposure to one of the many science and technology areas that underpin the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) missions. This is an opportunity for you to enhance your professional network and develop your interests in state-of-the-art research facilities and to enhance your professional network.
SULI is a paid internship opportunity sponsored and managed by the DOE Office of Science’s Office of Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists (WDTS) in collaboration with DOE laboratories/facilities. Students can participate in SULI either in a 10-week summer internship (May–August) or in a semester-long experience (August–December or January–May).
